Attaching Other Domain Names |
||
If you already own one or more website addresses that you want to use with your XSite, you can easily attach them to your XSite using the domain manager in your site for free. To attach a domain that you already own to your XSite...
- Click Manage Domains in the Content pane on the left.
- Click Manage and Purchase Domains in the screen that appears.
- At the bottom of the screen, click Add Existing Domain.
- Type your existing domain name into the box provided and then click Submit Domain for Hosting.
- Once the transfer initiation is complete, your XSite will provide you with
the most specific instructions available for your registrar and the current
settings for your domain.
- To complete the process and attach your domain - Follow the provided instructions to change the settings on your domain to our servers.
- To send the instructions to your technical contact - Type the e-mail address of your technical contact into the E-mail Address box provided. Then, click Send Instructions by E-mail.
- To view instructions for a different registrar - Just
choose the appropriate registrar from the Transfer Instructions
For drop-down.
Once you make the necessary changes to your domain, your XSite will take care of the rest. Keep in mind that any setting changes you make to your domain may take between 24 and 48 hours to complete as those changes have to make their way across the entire Internet. This "down time" cannot be avoided either through XSites OR through any other website provider so be sure to account for a website and e-mail outage for any websites or e-mail attached to that web address.
