Default Hey i have questions :)

Hi, post number #1 im new here...


but i just purchased the swamped package or whatever.. and waiting for my domain to be set up...

im just testing out hostgator services since i heard it about it so much...
so if decide to keep it i didnt want to be bother with the upgrading so i brought the swamped package...

but to the point...
if i decide to keep it.. i have a domain with another host, if i leave them how hard would it be to drag that domain to this new location?


thanks

If your old host had cPanel then Hostgator should be able to do a free transfer for you, see this web page: https://secure.hostgator.com/transfer.php

You can't transfer a domain if it is under 60 days old. You can, however, change the nameservers.

Welcome to HG.
I think the OP meant his/her domain's content, not registration, though it's hard to tell.

If you wish to have your domain registered through us, fill out this form: https://secure.hostgator.com/freedomaintransfer.php .. This will only work if the domain is 60 days old or older.

If you just wish to have your website on our servers, then fill out this form: https://secure.hostgator.com/transfer.php

We can transfer a site even if your old host does not offer cPanel, though we could only get files and databases in that case, as emails from other control panels are not compatible with cPanel.
