Moving a parked domain.

[robray]

hi there,

I have a parked domain which is currently directing traffic, via a frame, to my webspacce here. For various reasons, i would like to move the domain to this site.

However, i have never moved a parked domain from one place to another. So i hoped to pick the brains of those that have done this before... or those that knows how this works. So, i have some simple questions:
(a) Do i need to tell both ends of the move about the move. Do i need to tell 'Acme Domain Registration' and 'x10' that the domain is being moved ?
(b) will there be a charge for doing the move (at one end? At both ends?)
(c) Are there any pitfalls i should be aware of ?
(d) how is the move actually effected ?

Thanks for your help.

Best wishes.. and have a nice day.

Rob.

Assuming that you want mysterysite.com to be the exact same as robraypublishing.x10hosting.com

1. Go to your domain registrar and change the DNS nameservers to

• ns1.x10hosting.com
• ns2.x10hosting.com

2. Now for the x10hosting side

• Log on to cPanel
• Scroll down to Domains
• Click on Parked Domains
• Add your domain, without a leading 'www'
• After 48hr notify the old parking site that you have moved (the delay is just in case DNS issues)

So you have "notified" both Acme and x10
x10 doesn't charge a fee. Acme should not.
