Transfer of Domain Name

Ready to publish my site, found a great Web Hosting company,
but need to transfer Domain name. The new Web Hosting company
requires that I approve in advance any charges that they will incur
on my behalf for the transfer of the Domain Name. Being the
existing provider for the name (the site isn't up yet) Yahoo, I
don't know how many dollars this could be. Any ideas?

Okay, you bought a Domain name from Yahoo. Now you have a
site that you want to publish. How do you transfer your Domain Name
to the Web Hosting company? That's the question isn't it?
First of all, this will cost you nothing. You already paid
for your domain name and you will pay your web hosting company a
fee for hosting your web site.
We are dealing with two kinds of servers here: Domain Name
servers and web page servers. Your Yahoo Domain Name servers need
to point to the web servers that belong to the web hosting company.
That's what it means to transer your Domain name.
The domain name servers are the computers that contain the
information relating to your domain name, INCLUDING THE ADDRESS OF
THE WEB SERVER that contains your web files. There is a primary
name server and a secondary name server. Transferring your domain
name essentially means supplying the name servers with the address
of the web servers that contain your web files so web users will be
directed to your web site.
Instructions on how to transfer your Domain name (or, in
other words, how to edit your name servers) is on the Yahoo web
site. Your web hosting company has probably provided you with DNS
server addresses (primary and secondary). If not, you need to get
that information. You take that information and follow the
instructions on the Yahoo site for editing your name servers.

Business catalyst transfer hosting / domain name issues

Hello,
Hopefully someone can help with this. There is no information to be found anywhere about this anywhere. So here goes..
-Basically I have a an old site using my .com hosted away from CC. I also have a newer version of my website hosted at CC and using the same .com BUT using the 'Business catalyst" tag"
-I now want to shut down my old site hosted away from CC-to free up the .com so I can use me new website WITHOUT having to use the Business catalyst tag (While remain being hosted on CC)
This is what my other host has asked me to get - (and that Adobe has no information on)
My old host:
"In order to transfer the domain name to your new provider (CC) you need to organise the following:
.co.uk domain - In order to transfer the .co.uk domain name,
we need to be given the new 'Nominet Tag' for your new provider (CC). We can then switch the tag at our end and your new provider (CC) can gain access to the domain name.
.com domain - In order to transfer the .com domain name, your new provider (CC) will need to request a transfer of the .com domain from their end. We have unlocked the domain so this can be requested. Once they have done this, we will be able to provide an authorisation code that will enable them to complete the transfer."
Please help. This is very confusing..
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help!!

Hi,
If planning on reusing a domain for another site...
First you need to remove the domain from our old site/host. Once you have done this you can then add your domain to whichever site you require. Then set up your DNS accordingly whether you want to host with BC or externally.

How to transfer exisitng domain names to business catalyst?

What are the requirements or what is the proccess to transfer exisitng domain names to business catalyst?
Your input is much appreciated.
FT

Business Catalyst does not have a domain hosting capabilities, so you can not transfer domains to BC.
If you would like to point a domain to BC though you either point the A-record or NS records to your BC site:

How many domain names can I transfer to Apple.

I have a family (me) account. Family of four/one biz. The family each has their own domain. The biz has 4 domains. Can I transfer all domains including the four biz domains to the apple/me account. Yes/No. Is there a limit?
Also about a year ago I tried to transfer (1) domain over, my sons. What I total nightmare. I finally just gave up all together and I believe I'm fairly savvy tech wise. But the transfer had me stumped. I would appreciate it if someone out there who has made a transfer from "Network Solutions" to "Apple" could give me a blow by blow on how too. I would really appreciate it.

As Tom has said, you DO NOT transfer your domain names - Apple does not host domain names, they just host your MobileMe website.
What you need to do is enter the domain name into the personal domain name section of your MobileMe account and then go to the DNS settings at Host Excellence and set up a new CNAME forwarding for your domain name to web.me.com - this creates the link from your domain name to where your site is published at MobileMe - web.me.com.
You can have one CNAME forward for every MobileMe account so if you have a Family Pack, then one for the main account and one each for the 4 sub accounts, so 5 in total.
Once you have used up the 5 you have, if you want anymore then you just need to use ordinary web forwarding.

Instructing clients on domain name transfer

I was wondering what the easiest way is to instruct a client how to transfer their domain name from a previous host to a new one. Do you simply give them the information fom the "Whois" lookup? Do you contact the previous host yourself? What do you do?

So that would be asked with this question:
How do I get access to the domain registration account so that I can change the DNS pointers?
And the answer is either of the following -
* Get the domain registration account login information from the client (they were given this when they registered the domain name), log in to the account, and edit the DNS pointers.
OR
* Have the client contact the domain registrar and ask them for the domain registration login info. They may have to do a song and dance to get this, but they will get it. Have them give that info to you. Then continue with the first item above.

Domain Name

Can I transfer my domain name with Muse or Business Catalyst?

ChinaSmith,
Your not able to transfer your domain, but what you will need to do is point the nameservers of your domain registrar (i.e. godaddy etc.) to the BC nameservers. While your setting up the trial site in BC, your site url will be sitename.businesscatalyst.com This option will be open to you once you are ready for your site on BC to go live. These steps are accomplished through BC's domain management features.
You may or may not understand what nameservers are, but the process is quite easy and little time is necessary for implementing. The only time constraint is the default time frame most registrars will communicate that it may ake up to 24 hours. To be honest I have seen this process complete within minutes.
From my understanding you are able to design your site with Muse and integrate it with BC. Personally, I prefer DW for integrating with BC, but the choice is yours dependent on your skills, and preferences.

IWeb transfer to another domain name?

I recently purchased a .com name..........from another server.
I would like to transfer my iWeb page to this server but am really getting confused. Is there a simple tutorial or way to do this? I have printed out the tutorial from iWeb and lso from the server, but when it comes down to CNAME, MX Record, A Record, NS Record..........help?
Thank you.

If you have published your site to MobileMe, then you DO NOT need to use ftp in any way shape or form. FTP is only needed if you are uploading your site directly to a hosting account, which you have now said that you do not have, just the domain name.
Also, you ARE NOT trying to forward MobileMe to your domain name - it is the other way around - what you will do if forward your domain name to MobileMe where you site is published.
1. Log in to your MobileMe account under System Preferences and go to where is has Personal Domain on the left hand side and click on this and then where it has enable your domain name, simply enter your domain name here and it will then tell you to go to your domain name registrar and set up CNAME forwarding.
2. Go to where you domain name is (your domain name registrar) and log into your account there and then go to the DNS settings and set up CNAME forwarding.
If you have A records, then you need to delete these and set up 2 new CNAME's, one for www and one for @. The www represents your sub domain, which is http://www.domain.com and then the @ represents your domain name itself which is http://domain.com.
Set up CNAME forwarding for both these so it should look something like this:
www CNAME web.me.com
@ CNAME web.me.com
This is all you need do and your site should then work.
You might have got the correct help here faster if you had stated from the start that you were actually publishing your site to MobileMe.
Also remember, that MobileMe will no longer be here next year, so you will need to get a hosting account from another company, preferably the same company that your domain name is registered with.

I fixed it. iWeb address changed from first site to second site, so copying address to forwarding URL was not enough. I had to make the necessary changes. Thank you for responding

Domain name transfer issues

I am having trouble with a domain name I purchased forward to my .mac. This is the second domain name I have purchased. The first one I had issues with too, but it works fine now when the name is typed in a browser window. I copied the exact info, but I am getting an error from .mac saying name doesn't exist. I published the site in iWeb just like I did my first site....every step was the same. I can not figure out why I am getting an error -- can anyone help?

Domain name transfer to iweb

Have created an iweb site, and want to use my domain name currently held at 123-Reg on the site. Have followed instructions, but there appears to be 2 fields to input data one which is @ and the 'www' - I have the info to put in the 'www' field which is web.mac.com - what do I put in the @ field, both currently have 194.154.164.190 in. Hope someone can help.

Yes, he should double check that he is really working with CNAME. The presence of IP numbers may indicate that he is working with A records, which is not the right place to be.

Office Live Website Domain Name Transfer?

I currently have a Office Live website with a .co.uk domain name - is there a way to create and host the same domain name with Apple once my Office Live account expires?
And yes I'm a technophobe!

To use your domainname with MobileMe you must [enable Personal Domain at MobileMe|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=MobileMe/Account/en/acct1 7114.html] and set your CNAME to web.me.com where you have registered your domainname.
Pick your own subdomain (www is a subdomain).
It's not an iWeb issue, since iWeb is not involved. [Forum : MobileMe iWeb and Personal Domain|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1163]
Read my article how I manage my domainname : http://www.wyodor.net/Domain/
I currently have these subdomains:
http://www.wyodor.net/ (at MobileMe using A Record)
http://me.wyodor.net/ (at MobileMe using CNAME)
http://google.wyodor.net/ (at Google using A Record)
http://wyodor.net/ (at MS Office Live using A Record)
Other subdomains default to my Personal Webserver on my computer at home.
Note that you cannot use iWeb, or any custom webpage, at Google or MS Office Live. They're all webbased.

Is it possible to restrict the ability to e-mail a pdf outside a specific domain name?

Hello,
I am trying to find a solution to a friends problem. She has a quarterly publication that she sends out to big banks and financial institutions. Recently she has had some problems with press leaks. I am trying to find some security options for her however the task is difficult. Because these institutions have firewalls I am not sure encrypting or tracking is the right answer because the publication might not make it through. She wants users to be able to print the publication because many of the readers are older and prefer to read during their commute and at home. Essentially I am looking for any ways to make readers think twice about sharing the information. I thought if I could restrict e-mail to a specific domain name that would help this way users can only e-mail within their specific company. If any one has any suggestions please feel free to share.

Can you host multiple domain names on mobile me with iWeb '09?

Hi
Can anyone help, before I upgrade to iLife '09, I have a personal web domain name which I host on my mobileme account. My girlfriend now wants a website and I have bought her a domain name and want to use iWeb to design it but I can't seem to host multiple domains on iWeb '08, can you with iLife '09? Or will she have to buy her own mobile me account? Any help will be great!!!
Thanks

MobileMe -MME -is Apple's hosting service.
Domain Name System - DNS translates an understandable address like www.mywebsite.com into the IP address which is a number like 40:75:92:301.
Cname is a name of record in a database that records what domain name goes to what IP address.
IP address is just a unique number that identifies any device connected to the internet.
An FTP client is an application the uploads your files to a server using File Transfer Protocol.
I mainly use Web Site Maestro because it doesn't just upload the files but optimizes them first to remove all the unnecessary code that iWeb creates to allow your website to download at least 30% faster.
I also use Yummy FTP for sorting out and keeping track of my files on the server and uploading folders of images and music files along with their assets for flash presentations.
I have used Host Excellence for years because of the way they allow you to name your own root folder on the server and also their great tech support.
FTP and servers can be a bit confusing but, if you have a good hosting company, you can get by on very little knowledge and understanding. I do!
I couldn't agree more with you about the acronyms and jargon. The more people use them usually means the less they know. One of the most misused words is "domain". I tried to sort that one out here...

How do I transfert my domain name from the first registrar to business catalyst ?

Hey,
I don't find where (on the Admin Console) I have to put the EEP Key of my domain name I want to use for the website on BC. This EPP Key come from the registrar of my site that I want to transfer to BC. I want use this name domain.
Can you help me ?
Thank you.
Marion

Hi Marion,
After you have gone live with your BC site you'll need to access your domain's registrar and input our NS records.
So you'll need go where you purchased the domain to set this up. Please view the article below for step by step instructions.
