How do I transfer an
existing domain name?
Transferring your domain name form your previous host
or registrar to iFastWeb.com is easy and
straight forward. The transfer process depends on the
registrar with whom you registered your domain name.
If you registered your domain name with Network
Solutions, you can send email to
support@iFastWeb.com and request that your
domain be transfered. We will submit
the request to Network Solutions. Network Solutions
will respond by sending you a confirmation email which
you will need to respond to. 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. You may also be able
to transfer your Network Solutions registered domain
by logging into your account with Network Solutions
and doing the necessary DNS updates from there.
Other registars such as Register.com and Bulkregister
request that you login to their systems, using the
login and password they assigned you, and transfer the
domain name yourself. While logged in, you shall see a
link that allows you to updates your nameserver
records. You shall need to update the name servers to
our name servers. You have two choices of namservers
to use. You may choose to use our regular namservers
as follows:
PRIMARY:
Name Servers
ns1.ifastweb.com
ns1.209.126.185.10
ns2.ifastweb.com
ns2.209.126.185.11
If your domain was
registered on our website, you must have received an
email copy of the username and password you selected
when you registered your domain. Simply click on any
domain registration link on our site to log into your
domain registration account to make changes to your
nameserver records.
Here are
some links to domain manager interfaces for some
registrars, that allow you to follow the steps just
outlined:
Namesecure:

Register.com:
http://mydomain.register.com
MelbourneIT:
https://direct.internetnamesww.com/maintenance.shtml
DomainBank:
https://www1.domainbank.net/domainmanager/
Please contact other registrars directly to ask about
their domain transfer procedures. Let them know of
your desire to point your namserver records to
iFastWeb.com's network and give them one of both
namserver records above.
While waiting for the new nameserver information to
propagate around the Internet, we recommend
maintaining your site and all your files 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 iFastWeb.com's
servers until the transfer is complete.
If you have any further questions, feel free to
contact our support staff.
