How do I transfer an existing domain name?

If you have already registered your domain name elsewhere, HostingKey.com will try to assist you in transferring your domain to us. The transfer process depends on the registrar with whom you registered your domain name.

If you registered your domain name with VeriSign, you can indicate on your HostingKey.com order form that you would like HostingKey.com to request the transfer for you. We will make the request, and VeriSign will request confirmation by sending a message to the e-mail address they have on file for you. Once they receive an e-mail response from you to confirm the transfer, they will go ahead and transfer the domain name to our network, usually within 48 hours. 

Other registars such as
Register.com, Bulkregister.com, Registerfly.com, Godaddy.com and Namesecure.com request that you login to their systems, using the login and password they assigned you, and transfer the domain name yourself. Once you login, you will come across a link that allows you to change your nameserver information. In that section, please update your nameserver information to the following:

Primary Server Host Name: A.NSKEY.COM
Secondary Server Host Name: B.NSKEY.COM
2nd Secondary Server Host Name: C.NSKEY.COM
3rd Secondary Server Host Name: D.NSKEY.COM

Here are some links to domain manager interfaces for some registrars, that allow you to follow the steps just outlined:

Please contact other registrars directly to ask about their domain transfer procedures. Inform them that you wish to transfer your domain to HostingKey.com, and provide them with the nameserver information listed above.

While waiting for the new nameserver information to propagate around the Internet, we recommend maintaining your site at your current host to avoid down time for your site. During this time, you can use the IP address that we gave you to mirror your web site on Hostingkey's servers until the transfer is complete.

If you have any further questions, feel free to contact our domain manager: Domains@HostingKey.com
