1. transfer the domain

You can transfer you domain name over from your existing registrar. After authorization has been completed the registrar transfer should take up to 5 days to be completed. we will not charge you for the transfer

Some ISP's require you to fax them confirmation of your intention to transfer your domain name. For this purpose we have provided a Fax template. If you fill in the blanks and print out the form you can send it straight to your ISP..

about dns settings.

The ability to change the DNS configuration of a web site is an important feature for many people.  However, incorrect DNS modifications can take an entire web site down for an extended period of time.  This is because DNS changes aren't instant.  If you make a mistake, it is possible that nobody will be able to connect to your site (including yourself).  If you fix the mistake, it may take up to 72 hours for the repair to take effect

DNS (Domain Name Servers) tell computers how to find each other over Internet.  When you type an address in your browser, your ISP (Internet Service Provider) checks with it's domain name server (DNS) to determine where to send you.

Each server on the Internet has an IP address (a numerical address like a phone number).  Every time you change web hosts, you are changing servers (and therefore changing IP addresses).

When you edit the name servers in your domain record, you are telling the Internet which name server provides the most up-to-date directions.  If you don't change the name servers in your domain record, then your web site will point to a server that isn't hosting your domain.  Or, if the old web host deleted you from their DNS, your domain wouldn't work at all

You can check your DNS settings by visiting our tools section and using the WhoIs LookUp facility.
