Transfer domain  en

Author: Terrance O.
Visited 1092, Followers 1, Shared 0  

After many days, this issue is only partially resolved. I need to change the name of my domain for spelling issues, which I just found out about and I am still having minor DNS issues with my current provider. There is a certain website and company that I do a lot of business with and a lot of their links point to my website and I end up with 404 errors or it links directly to my current website using the domain name. As I am officially past my 60 day period, what do I need to do to switch domain hosts over to Incomedia?

I had posted this under a closed out thread so I am reposting it here. My number one issue is transferring my domain to Incomedia as soon as possible so I can get rid of these DNS issues with Ionos. What do I need to do to get started. Since I need to change the spelling of my domain name, should I just close down the other one at Ionos and start fresh with you?

Terrance, if you wish to use webhosting provided by WX5 you may find this youtube clip useful.

You can pay for hosting through your profile (click on your name top right this page), you will find the "my webhosting" link there.

If you will require a database you will need to purchase website X5 Pro and you should then receive your first year hosting at no charge.

I don't know if I need a database as I only save my blog files. I already have a licensed version of EVO and I only need 1 email address. I just need help transferring my domain to your servers. I have viewed the video with Stafano and I will now try to purchase a domain from you and transfer mine over to it. I will update here once I am successful or not.

Update. I want to discontinue the link with Ionos web hosting. I managed to purchase a domain from your company and I am just waiting for the activation. I needed to make a domain name change so I just created a new domain name from scratch. I assume that once it is activated, the new domain name will replace the current name I see on the web hosting page, which is terrance-o.websitex5.me?

Since I don't want my website to go down during the transistion, I will wait to close out my account with Ionos until I know the new domain is activated. It was a promotional account anyway so I won't lose more than two dollars here. Is there anything else I need to do in order to make this transistion from Ionos to your company?

We'll probably have to wait for the Incomedia employees, but since it's the weekend, the Incomedia employees probably won't report back here until Monday during European office hours.

Copy. I just checked and the new domain name hasn't transistioned over to the one I asked to create. It is active but under the wrong domain name. Hopefully someone can fix this next week and I can shut down the other one.

I wish to be clear about what I need here. First, I need to unlink https://527.websitex5.me from the domain crann-bethadh.com as I will be discontinuing that domain name with the current domain host once I have a good domain set up with Incomedia.

I now have two domains with Incomedia and that was not my intent when I purchased one today. I thought that was how to give my first one a new domain name in your servers. I was wrong. I wish to correct that somehow. I only need one domain with the name crann-na-beatha.com. I still don't know how to achieve that. I hope whomever reads these notes on the next business day will read this one and help me correct my mistakes and get me on the right path.

My goal is to have one domain name registered with Incomedia named crann-na-beatha.com and one website attached to that domain when we are finished. Thank you

Update. I have discovered the second domain over at web hosting. That is good news. I have sent my website over to it and we are now online with the new domain name.

Now, I just need help in disconnecting the Ionos domain name from 527.websitex5.me (crann-bethadh.com) so I can cancel that contract with Ionos.

As far as having two domains with Incomedia, if we can't straighten that out right now, I can just let the oldest one expire in March and I will keep renewing the newest one. Let me know what works best.

Hi Terrance,

could you please report the domain you purchased, so I can check its status and see if there are any problems?

Thanks! Kind regards.

I purchased https://crann-na-beatha.com last weekend from Incomedia. I had https://527.websitex5/me that is currently linked to an external domain host at Ionos with the domain name of crann-Bethadh.com. I want this one unlinked so I can cancel that domain and my account with Ionos.

I want the domain crann-na-beatha.com to by my only domain and where I connect my website to. I noticed that once I moved all of my online publications over to the new domain on your servers, a lot of my DNS issues have cleared up. The rest will clear up once I cancel that account with Ionos and they clear my DNS records from their DNS servers.

Please let me know if I need to do anything more to straighten this out.

I just figured out how to do this myself. Just by chance, I checked on crann-bethadha.com and saw the option to undue the configuration, so I did. Problem solved. Now I can cancel Ionos and be done with it. As far as https://527.websitex5.me is concerned, I can just let that one sit until it expires and just not renew it, if that is okay?

I just canceled my contract with Ionos to night. I do have one further question. Since hosting comes with my license for https://572.websitex5.me would it be possible to transfer the crann-na-beatha domain over to that domain next October once the term runs out? That way I am only managing one domain. If so, I will renew the license for https://527.websitex5.me in March and sit on it until October. Or should I just let it expire in March? Which is the best to do here? Or do we transfer crann-na-beatha.com over to https://527.websitex5 .me now and figiure out what to do with the new one I just purchased?

Hi Terrance, 

I confirm crann-na-beatha.com has been correctly connected to your webspace (previously terrance-o.websitex5.me)

I then confirm it is possible to move the domain crann-na-beatha.com to 527.websitex5.me.

Thanks! Kind regards.

Okay, let's do that please. Let's transfer crann-na-beatha.com over to 527.websitex5.me or at least explain how to do it and I will take care of it from my end. We can then figure out what to do with the new domain and services afterwards.

I don't know if this is related but the website certificate for crann-na-beatha.com is now invalid. Please let me know if there is an issue I need to address here.

Correction. Apparently I hit it just as your team was making the transistion for me. Sorry for the alarm. It all looks good. I guess the best plan going forward is to let the new domain sit until I decide whether to set up a new domain or just let it expire next October. Thank you for all of your help. I will take it from here.
