I Wish To Move My Website Over To Hostpc

[Shane]

I own a domain at hostcolor.com and I really am not happy with their service.
I like your service a lot better.

Here's the deal. I already have a hosting plan here + two domains on that hosting account. I'd like to move the domain from my other provider and use my current hosting plan with this domain as the third domain on that account. How do I go about moving my domain over?

you just need to change your DNS for the domain in question to point to the same server that your two here are on. Then, set up the domain in your DA control panel and move the files, databases and whatever else.

Hostcolor doesn't allow me to do that. Would the "Domain Transfer" work?

Then you need to transfer the domain registration away from hostcolor. There are many 3rd-Party registrars, or you can stick with the convenient, all-in-one approach and transfer the registration here.

That's what I was hoping to do. Now do I have to register a new hosting plan or is the one I have now going to work with my transfered domain as my third add-on domain? If so then I should be all set!

Ok So I did the Trasfer thing with HostPC. I have to set my DNS settings to point to the same host as my other two right? Where do I set the DNS settings on HostPC?

You don't appear to be a reseller, so open a helpdesk ticket. In that ticket do 1 or 2 things...

1. If you haven't already requested that domain be added to your hosting, request that it be added.

2. Request the DNS settings for that domain, since it doesn't sound like you already have them.

With the ticket, Joe or Nick will get the info they need to get you set up! :)

I have ns3a.hostpc.com and ns3b.hostpc.com in my hosting account.
