Transferring your domain

In order to get your domain resolving to our servers and have name resolution you need to specify our name servers authorative for your domain. This involves visiting your domain registrar and changing the name servers associated with your domain to just our name servers.

Once you have done this it takes approximately 3 days before your site is available as the changes need to propagate to your ISP.
