Thu, 09 Jul 2009 09:55:03 +0000 http://www.savagehost.com/need-help-with-transfer-a-domain.html#comment-3756 hosting and registration are 2 separate things. Your registrar can be your hosting provider or vice versa. So say you have godaddy as your hosting and registrar. You would need to go to hostmonster (who you want to be your hosting and who you want to transfer the domain to) and tell them I am going to purchase hosting and you need to transfer domain www.example.com (use your domain). They will initiate the transfer of the domain, as owner you will probably get an email asking for permission to transfer it. Please accept that otherwise it won't happen, it takes about 7 days to fully complete. However if you are familiar with how it all works you can keep godaddy as your registrar (for me I had my domain transferred to my hosting's registrar b/c I got the domain paid for while I host with them) you can change hosting and just edit the nameservers in your whois. My advice though is just get your new hosting to transfer it over - they do the transfer initiation you just tell them to do it and it's transfered the minute you tell godaddy to accept the transfer. hosting and registration are 2 separate things.
