If you cannot find an available domain name you can use the advanced search
to create names similar to your original, preferred, domain name. To access the hosting only page click here and then click the hosting only tab near the top of the screen. This option allows you to purchase hosting and not transfer your domain name over to us. This means you still pay your domain name registration fees to your current registrar. In order for us to host your site you must have your registrar update the domains DNS settings to the ones listed below. This option may also be used if you wish to only renew your hosting and you do need to extend your domain name at this time as it is still adequately registered. To access the transfer domain page click
here and then click the transfer domain tab near the top of the screen.
To transfer your domain name to us write your domain name in the box including
the extension (your-domain-name.com) and click on the transfer button
(please note at this time it is only possible to transfer .com .net and
.org domains). If the domain name is available for transfer highlight
the check box and then click add to cart. Please make sure that the domain
being transferred is owned by you and that the registrant's e-mail address
can receive a transfer request e-mail in order for the transfer to succeed. Soon after you have completed this you will receive an
email (at the e-mail address which is registered as the contact for the
domain name) confirming that the request has been received. After you
approve the request via email, by replying,the transfer process will begin.
The current registrar has the ability to reject a domain name transfer
request in the following situations: If you wish to have us host your site and its not a domain which we can transfer (.com .net or .org) Follow these Instructions. We can host almost every type of domain extension including .co.uk and .ie. Simply setup a hosting account with us by using the hosting only tab as described in host only section above. Upload your site to this account so that there will be no downtime. Next email your current web host/domain registrar the following: "I wish to have my website hosted by another web host. Can you please update the DNS settings for my [enter your domain name] account to the following settings Primary Nameserver: NS1.WEBLOUD.COM Secondary Nameserver: NS2.WEBLOUD.COM Thank you for you help, [yourname] " You should ensure that you are sending the email from the contact email address for the domain. If you are unsure of what this email address is then send your domain name to us at support@webloud.net and we will look it up for you. In this way, every year you will need
to renew the domain name registration with them and we can host your site. DNS Information Primary Nameserver: NS1.WEBLOUD.COM Secondary Nameserver: NS2.WEBLOUD.COM
