Questions
Whatever might be your reasons for moving your web site away from our secure private server, you have 3 options for doing so:
1. Your Domain Name remains with NetCells, your site is running on another server but you use our secure server for email.
We can do this by changing the A record on your Domain name.
Implementation (propagation) can take up to 24 hours to get fully implemented worldwide.
The cost with NetCells is just the domaain name renewal, paid each year or prepaid for longer term.
2. Your Domain Name remains registered with Netcells but it points it to a different Internet location.
You need to provide the addresses of the new Nameservers, which will be something like ns1.nameservername.com, ns2.nameservername.com.
You web site and your email will be handled by your new provider.
Change of nameservers will generally show up in a few minutes, although it might take a day or so to get fully implemented across the world. It takes about the same time to move your site back to NetCells, if your move does not work out.
The cost with NetCells is just the domaain name renewal.
3. Your Domain Name is transferred to a different registrar.
This is a more complicated and, in most cases, one-way process, which takes several days or several weeks. Explained in ›Question #87
You would have to find a new registrar and then ask them to make a transfer request on your behalf.
