Transferring your domain is the last step in making your new website live. However, the process can be tricky. On this page you will find answers to some of the most frequently asked questions to help you as you make the transfer. As always, if you have any questions that are not answered here, please don't hesitate to contact us.

To find answers specific to your situation, click one of the links below:

• New Domain: We just bought our domain name and there is no website or email addresses associated with it.

• Website Only Domain: We have a website at our domain, but no email addresses.

Transferring a domain can be confusing, espeically when you don't understand all the terms.  Below we have attempted to give simple definitions to terms that can cause confusion:

• Domain: The name where your website and email will be.  (ex. artistrymarketing.com would be our domain name.)
  
  
• Registrar: the company where you purchase a domain.  Examples include NetworkSolutions, Godaddy, and more.
  
  
• NS Record: this is a record at your Registrar that tells computers where to find your website or deliver your email. 
  
  
• Website: A website is on a domain.  A domain can have many websites, however.  For example, www.artistrymarketing.com is a different website from my.artistrymarketing.com , but both are on the same domain (artistrymarketing.com)
  
  
• Example: You would go to a Registrar to purchase a domain, where you would then place a website and email.
