Hello flower888,

Techncially you do not have to transfer your domain name to us if you do not want to. Please refer to the heading above named 'Do I have to transfer my domain?' and it will give you the details so you can make your decision.

Thanks!

Hello Kenn297,

If you only have a domain registration account then you do not have anyway to make DNS changes to your domain name here with Web Hosting Hub.

As per the the Blogger documentation (http://support.google.com/blogger/bin/static.py?hl=en&ts=1233381&page=ts.cs), you need to have the ability to set DNS changes in order to user your domain name. You can do this with your domain name by either transferring it to another Domain registrar that gives you control (without a hosting account) or finding a DNS service to do this. Currently, your account is only a Domain registration only account and does not provide a way to control your DNS settings.

If you have any further questions, please contact technical support or leave a comment at the bottom of the page.

Regards,

Arnel C.

Hello Zaher,

I looked up the whois for avafinder.com, and it is not registered. It must be registered first before it will function. Domain registrations with us are $11.99 per year.

After it is registered, it will already be pointed to our Nameservers, but you can modify them in AMP.

If you have any further questions, feel free to post them below.
Thank you,

Hello zaher.rajae@gmail.com,

I checked the Whois for blueibook.com, and it is already pointed to our Nameservers, and is loading on our servers.

You can Addon domains, to your existing cPanel, but you must purchase the additional domain name for it to work.

You do not need to purchase an additional Hosting account, but only register the new domain name for $11.99 per year.

If you have any further questions, feel free to post them below.
Thank you,

Hello,

Can you check if I have to pay an additional 11.99 per year, if I transfer alchemyad.com from yahoo to webhostinghub? I already changed the name server, set to default the MX Records (Gmail is managing our email services), and updated our domain registration information. I just had it done Feb 17, 11:35am. I'm not sure if I can transfer the domain now but I have to know first if there is an additional payment. Thansk in advance!

Hello lesterreyes,

It is now $14.99 to transfer a domain to Webhosting Hub, it was increased late last year. This price is inline with the current industry pricing.

The price for transfer includes a renewal for an additional year of registration.

Keep in mind it is not required to transfer your registration to us to host your website, as you can simply point your nameservers to host with us.

If you have any further questions, feel free to post them below.
Thank you,

Thanks John Paul,

I actually did point the nameservers to webhostinghub's but when i tried accessing the alchemyad.com site, it was not there anymore. And when i brought it back to default, it's there again.

I just wanted to have the alchemyad.com transferred to webhostinghub so that everytime people search for alchemyad.com, it will redirect to our new site advertisingagencyph.com. Does transfering my domain to yours fix that? And also I find yahoo's rate rather expensive that's why I wanted it badly to transfer domain.

Again thanks for the help

Lester

It looks like when you pointed your nameservers, you added the Web Hosting Hub nameservers instead of replacing the Yahoo nameservers with them which will cause issues. To resolve this, remove the Yahoo entries.

I have a question. I registered a domain name with web hosting and paid for the registraion. Now we have a new partner joining the team who doesnt like the domain name. Is there any way we can change the domain name once it is registered.

PS: I am not very techno savvy. Please make it a lil simple.

A domain cannot simply be changed. You may, however, purchase a new domain, then perform a primary domain change on the account to use that new domain.

I pointed my GoDaddy domain to your nameservers on March 30th and still nothing happened. Isn't it too long and what can be a problem? The domain is moroccankaftan.info

How will I know that the domain is pointed correctly? Will it simply appear on the AMP panel?

Sorry if these are stupid questions, I'm learning everything by myself.

Thank you

Hello Victoria,

Thank you for your question. I looked up the Whois for moroccankaftan.info, and it is pointed successfully to our nameservers.

At this time, you have to add the domain (moroccankaftan.info) to your cPanel, then allow up to 24 hours for propagation to complete.

If you have any further questions, feel free to post them below.
Thank you,

Hi, I have a doubt will it slow a site if i am buying domain from godaddy and pointing to webhostinghub nameservers. or for good results my domain registrar and hosting company should be same. Is there any added advantage in any.

Hello Ahammed,

Thank you for your question. It does not make a speed difference if your registrar and web host are the same.

The only advantage is that the billing will be conveniently in 1 location (AMP), if you use us as your registrar and web host.

If you have any further questions, feel free to post them below.
Thank you,

Hello,

When using my own domain on WordPress, I have learned that I need to change my server name, towards WordPress, in order to make it work. Can you help me?

Hello Rikke J.,

Thanks for the question. I'm not sure what you're trying to do - as you mentioned that you're trying to change the name "towards WordPress". WordPress has it's own hosting service under WordPress.com and you can also use third party hosting systems host a separately installed WordPress site. WordPress can be installed through Softaculous or via a manual installation. If you're using WordPress.com, the site is hosted through WordPress and the URL ends in "wordpress.com". If you want to change the URL to something different in a WordPress installation that is hosted with Web Hosting Hub, then you will need make configuration changes to the configuration.php file (Change the WordPress URL in the WordPress Administrator or Changing the Site URL (WordPress Codex)).

If you can specify what you're exactly trying to accomplish, we can try to provide more detail. Let us know if you have any further questions.

Regards,
Arnel C.

How do I point my existing godaddy domain to webhostinghub? I don't want to pay to transfer.

Hello Laura,

Thanks for the question. It's possible that our own documentation on this process is outdated, but you can see how to change name servers in GoDaddy by going to Changing name servers at Godaddy. If they have updated their interface, then you would need to contact their tech support team. The name servers in the article are what you need to change in order to point the domain to our hosting service without paying for a domain registrar transfer.

Regards,
Arnel C.

There is no option for me to change the IP in the CPanel.
The only thing I see are my DNS, but no place to put an IP and have my domain point to an external host.
Any solution to That?

Hello Christ,

Are you looking to point the domain name to another name server? If so, you simply need to know the name of that nameserver and enter that in the display.

I want to have my domain point to a different host-server.

Following the linkt "point your domain" in the Cpanel doesn't help. There is no place to change the IP, just the DNS.

Any help with this ?

Hello,

It sounds as if you are trying to point to another name server. We have an article on how to do that in the AMP.

Thanks for the reply.

The article doesn't help because the system doesn't show me an option to enter an IP address.

This option is valid when I'm creating a record, but it doesn't help since only subdomain can be listed this way.

If I cannot find that option by tomorrow, I'll just have to move all my domain to a different provider. Our site need to be on-line in a couple of days and we spent so much time just with a configuration. Hosting at Google, we wouldn't spend 5 minutes on this.

Hello Chris,

Yes, that is correct. Name servers have both a name and an IP address. For example below are ours:

ns1.webhostinghub.com 	205.134.224.133

ns2.webhostinghub.com 	173.205.127.4

So in our interface, you would simply use the name as opposed to the IP address.

Kindest Regards,
Scott M

Hello David,

Thank you for your question.Typically the email will follow over to your new nameservers.

Just make sure you have created the email accounts with us in your cPanel.

If you want to host your email elsewhere, you can created custom MX records.

Thank you,
