Transferring a Domain or Changing Name Servers

If you have an existing domain when you sign up for hosting with WalexBiz Host, your domain name will need to be configured to work with your new hosting account by setting the name servers at your registrar. You can also optionally transfer your domain to Walex Biz Host so that both your domain name and web hosting are managed in the same place.

Since domain name registration is considered a separate service than web hosting, it is not required to register or transfer your domain to WalexBiz Host to use our hosting services. In fact, you have three options for when you wish to use WalexBiz Host as yourWalexBiz Host and have an existing domain.

  1. Change Tour Name Servers at Existing Registrar

You can leave the domain registered where it is and change the name servers to point to WalexBiz Host. This would make it so that WalexBiz Host servers manage your DNS and you can make DNS changes directly from your hosting control panel. When using our name servers, your DNS records are automatically updated to reflect any domain-related changes, including addon domains and subdomains.

  2. Transfer Your Domain to WalexBiz Host

Another option is to transfer your domain to WalexBiz Host and use WalexBiz Host name servers to manage your DNS. This would make it so that you can manage your domain through WalexBiz Host and have your domain and hosting in one place.

You can also register and transfer additional domain registrations to WalexBiz Host.

  3. Use other Name Servers/DNS

While not recommended for most customers, it is also possible to use name servers somewhere else and just set the individual DNS records there. This is possible whether the domain is registered with WalexBiz Host or another registrar.

Since you are not using WalexBiz Host's name servers, when you make domain-related changes in your hosting control panel, the DNS does not automatically get updated. You would have to manually change the DNS records on your name servers to match whatever you set up in the hosting control panel.

Customers who use this option usually have complex DNS settings already established elsewhere and only want to change or add the records related to hosting on their existing name servers rather than recreating their existing DNS settings on WalexBiz Host name servers.
