Absolutely. Domain name management can be more than a little confusing and an overwhelming task if you aren’t familiar with it. We are happy to assist you in getting this taken care of easily and properly.
You can, but when you registered the domain initially predicates when you can successfully start a transfer. Most registrars institute a 60 to 90 day waiting period that bars any domain transfer within that timeframe. If you literally just registered the domain elsewhere, we can still get your web site up and rolling for you, and just transfer the domain management later on if you desire.
Once the necessary domain transfer security measures have been met and the transfer has been acknowledged and approved by the originating registrar, the domain transfer will be complete in 7 to 9 days.
Domain lock is a status which prevents a domain from being transferred to another register without authorization. Domains cannot be transferred when domain lock is enabled. In order to transfer a domain, be sure to log into the current registrar’s site and turn off domain locking on the domain you would like to transfer.
The EPP key (“Authorization code” or “Auth Code”) is one of the safeguards against unauthorized transfers of domain name registrations and it protects your rights as a domain owner. This code is required when transferring .com, .net, .org, .biz, .info and .us domain names. It is not possible to initiate a domain name transfer for these domains without an EPP code. EPP Codes are found individually for each domain from the registrar that currently holds the domain.
A domain transfer is the process of moving the management of a specific domain from one registrar to another. If you want to have the ability to manage your domain directly through your Client Area here at Green Media Hosting, you can transfer your domain to here for management.
A parked domain is what cPanel refers to as a domain that you want to add to your web hosting account that does nothing other than point to another published web site that you have on your account. Common uses for parked domains include providing additional domains that a specific web site resolves to, or just saving domains for use in a future project or endeavor.
An add-on domain is what cPanel refers to as a domain that you want to add to your web hosting account with the intent of either running a separate web site or running separate email accounts. In other words, you can run multiple web sites on your web hosting account provided that you have enough ad-on domains to support those web sites.
