Domain Transfer Instructions

In order to start using your domain name, you must point your domain name to our name servers. This is called 'Domain Transfer'. There are lots of different registrars (where a domain name is purchased) so you will need to go to the website of the registrar you use, in order to update your domain records to point them to our name servers. It takes about 24-48 hours after you update those records, for your domain name to 'propagate' or be usable on the Internet.

If you registered your domain name with Apollo Hosting, your domain name is already pointing to our servers. You can change your domain name information at any time by going to your Domain Manager.

NOTE: If you do not know which registry your domain name was registered with, just look up your domain name here.

The company your domain is listed with is in the "Registrar" section.

IMPORTANT: If you are unsure how to transfer your domain please contact your registrar directly to ask about their domain transfer procedures. Inform them that you wish to transfer your domain to Apollo Hosting, and provide them with the nameserver information listed above.

While waiting for the new nameserver information to propagate around the Internet, we recommend maintaining your site at your current host to avoid down time for your site. During this time, you can use the IP address that we gave you to mirror your web site on Apollo Hosting's servers until the transfer is complete.
