Hi,
I have a very simple website hosted by Yahoo Small Business Hosting. Like many people probably do I did not read all the details about what i was allowed to do.
After finding many limitations by the package I purchased I have found that friends that have free web hosting have much better websites.
I am a musician/singer/songwriter and with the plan I have I’m unable to use my own backgrounds add Widgets for music players and such.
Anyway, since I’m a total Noob my question is how do I transfer my Domain from Yahoo hosting to something else?
You can ‘transfer’ your domain to any good domain name registrar. You should get your domain authentication code from Yahoo as this may be required for domain transfer.
You may need a new host also. So buy some cheap hosting service also.
you actually don’t need to transfer your domain, just point it to your new host. Once you have signed up with the new hosting provider they will give you their nameserver (or DNS) settings. You will have to visit the website of the company you purchased your domain from and delete Yahoo’s nameserver information and then enter the NS1 and NS2 of the new host. This can all be done seamlessly to your site visitors.
Buy a new hosting… They wiil help you to transfer your site to the new hosting… Then login to your domain account and enter NS1 and NS2 of the new hosting
You need to transfer your web site and do not need transfer domain name.
Once you have new web hosting account ask your new web hoster move your account
