Transfer domain...

I've got a new domain from another hosting company. Now, I'd like to transfer it to my first hosting company.

How about the steps I should take? I've tried reading the tutorials from the first host; must I read both guidelines from both hosts, which I believe I have to write some official letter to get authorization code and .....

This isn't easy, can anyone guide?

Thank you very much.

To transfer the name servers of your domain only, please give the following details to your current hosts.

Primary DNS:
ns4.internetters.net (example only)

Secondary DNS:
ns5.internetters.net (example only)

You need to ask your new host (transferring to) what their DNS numbers are then give them to your hosts (your coming from).

I was not able to do my own transfers from my cpanel so I had to ask them to do it on my behalf, this may be your case too or you may be able to transfer yourself from your control panel.

Look at your cpanel FAQS and videos.

*smiles at George*..hahaahaha

Oh....thank you Kate

I will work it out and post back if anything weird happens.

I will just add its not I could'nt transfer my own I just was'nt allowed, they have transferred me two domains up to now with no problems.

iT TAKES A GGOD 24 HOURS BEFORE YOU CAN USE IT THOUGH.

It will look at whois something like this:


Whois Server Version 2.0

Hello!
I need to clarify the statements here: transfer domain name - it is moving it from one domain name registrar to another with paying annual fee for the domain name on the new registrar (only some of them like Eurodns.com do not charge you if you are moving to them).
In your case it is quite ordinary procedure after domain name registration. I'm affraid but that cannot be called transfer

Hello Pof,

I do not profess to know all computer jargon or how toos (heaven forbids me to become too clever) . Ozzu threads are always open to more fresh discussion.

I am grateful for your imput and I am sure George is too..

All I know is I changed my host and took two domains with me leaving my main one with the old host, well, I guess they still have all my domains in a roundabout way as its they who I pay when the domains become due.

Thanks again POF

You are welcome!

Yes, of course I'm more grateful than ever since suzie first posted.

Hey George,

I looked at a site the other day and I think I will be buying a .asia for my Malaysia site what ya think?

.asia sounds good. But I suggest if you're planning about making a business for 'I mean business sake' you know what I mean, I would say Go for (.com.my)

myself clear?

And I don't think you're making 'what I thought a business-like website', and if that's so, I have no disagreement with .asia.

It sounds more ASIA like, broader sense of ownership.

Not for a business George,

I buy domains for fun. I have had a few since I started on the net, My first being (still have and will not sell) swishmagic.com, then I had one for Borneo which I can't remember all of. A friend came up with the name.

I met someone and became interested in Dreamweaver so I bought new2dreamweaver.com...haahahahaha but I won't re-new that next year. I do things then get bored you see George. If something does'nt work by yesterday it goes.

Malaysia is the only thing I have kept up with really, I am now tiring of katesplace lolol so I opened a flower garden which does interest me...for how long...shrugs shoulders!

Met someone? That guy must be Mr.Dreamverick?

Registering for a .COM here is cheaper than .COM.MY or .MY

George I wonder why your web hosting company hasn't help you to move? Most of companies do offer help with transferring (I mean such companies like lunarpages.com mmhosting.com lypha.com site5.com). And they would be more then happy to help you.
Or you decided do not ask them for help?

I think they do except that they don't do for the postfix (.com.my)

Haven't asked them yet, I went through their FAQ that day...
