Default Change My Domain

I couldn't find any other topic area to post this:

If I no longer want my domain, and wish to change it at renewal of services, can I change my domain name?

You can register the domain with any registrar and then set the nameservers to the HG nameservers.

Yes, you would need to register the new domain and set the nameservers to the same ones that you use on your old domain. Then fill out the form and ask HG to change the domain on your account. It will take some time for the changes to propagate but should work fine given time.
