Ensuring you have registered and transferred your domain name

You have now completed the basic steps to activate your account. Before visitors can access your site on the Internet, however, you must ensure that you have:

• Registered your domain name
• Transferred your domain name to Way2Host (if you are transferring an existing domain name)

If you registered your domain name directly with Way2Host, you do not need to do anything else to transfer your domain name. The process should be completed within 48 to 72 hours. However, if your domain name was previously registered elsewhere, you will need to ensure that it is transferred to Way2Host.

During this propagation period, you will need to use your temporary URL instead of your domain name. For more information, see Using your temporary URL or the Domain Name FAQ.

If you have already registered your domain name elsewhere, you will need to transfer your domain to us. The transfer process depends on the registrar with whom you registered your domain name.

Most registrars request that you log in to their systems and transfer the domain name yourself using the user name and password they assigned you. Once you have logged on to their site, you will need to change your current nameserver information to Way2Host's information:
