Moving Your Web Site to a Web Solutions Server

If you want to keep your domain registration with your existing registrar, such as Network Solutions or Register.com but host your web site with us that is fine. All you need to do is tell the Domain Name System (DNS) of the new location of your web site. You initiate this by changing the name server information in your registrar's database. This will inform the world that your web site can now be found on a Web Solutions' server.

1) Contact your registrar either through their web site or with an e-mail message and change the Name Server information. Follow the instructions at your registrar to change to the following Web Solutions designations:

2) Subsequent to informing your domain name registrar that you are moving your web site to another hosting provider, you may receive an authorization request via e-mail. Follow the instructions in the each correspondence carefully. Once the name server change has been accepted by your registrar, all the ISPs around the world will need to update their name servers. This update process occurs automatically on a regular basis and can take up to 24-48 hours before everyone can see your new web site location. In the meantime, proceed with step 3.

3) During or before the name server transfer request has been initiated or completed you will want to have your entire web site copied to your new location on a Web Solutions' server. Contact support@websoa.com for login and password details.
