Center servers.

6. My domain name
is expiring or has expired. Can I transfer it? |

it. |

change when I transfer my DNS. |
| |

8. How do I transfer
my domain name? |
| |
|
To transfer a domain name to our registry service,
you must have access to the administrative contact E-mail address
on file for the current registrar of the domain name. You are required
to confirm the transfer request via E-mail to that administrative
contact.
If you do not have access to this E-mail address, please contact your
current registrar.
To initiate the transfer of registrars, E-mail will be sent to you
by Your Web Center requesting your authorization. After the transfer
request is confirmed, your registrar will be contacted for their authorization
to these changes. The changes will be approved as soon as the modifications
are validated. |

9. Can I have
a subdomain? |
| |
|
Yes, depending on the hosting plan you choose.
Subdomains are a way of creating separate accounts within your
master account, and are accessed as separate URLs. For example,
you may have a subdomain as www.subdomain.yourdomain.com.
Subdomains are required to have their domain names registered.

|
| |
10. Can I park
a domain? |
| |
|
Yes, depending on the hosting plan you choose.
You can set up a domain name that you own to point to another domain
name. This is known as "parking" a domain.
For example: you own domain A and B, you can park domain A and each
time it is accessed it will automatically go to domain B.
