Before Authorizing Your Domain’s DNS/ Name Server Change
- Back up all of your emails we strongly recommend you install a POP email client on your local PC or Mac and download all the emails from your existing account before a service transfer. If you are not wanting to use an offline client Gmail is REALLY easy to use and free. You might just have it pick up all your emails that way you can pretty much put them anywhere from your Gmail accout. If you are wanting to use an offline client such as Microsoft Outlook but do not want to spend the money on it, then we suggest you use Mozilla Thunderbird which is completely free also. Anyways, by doing this you are not going to lose any data in the transition.
- Go to your Registars website. In our case we use Godaddy.com. Click on My Domains (or wherever your domains are located). Pick the domain you are wanting to change them to.
- You should have gotten an email when you registered the domain name or your hosting account (depending on where your domain is currently hosted). You need to find wherever your nameservers may be (they look like ns3456.hostgator.com) and replace the current ones. Click Save.
- Now you need to get into your CPanel or whatever else you are using and go to Addon Domains.
