Domain Names
From Ubiquity Web Hosting Wiki
Lots of information on domain names.
I have a domain name already registered someplace else. Can I host here?
Yes. You have two options:
- Transfer domain: This is an option when you sign up for Ubiquity web hosting to register the domain with us instead.
- This costs $8.95/year for most domain names and will extend the amount of time your domain is registered for by 1 year.
- See How to transfer a domain for more information on how to do this
- Change name servers: You can also just change your DNS server settings at your previous registrar to allow us to host it.
- See your welcome email, or What are my DNS Servers? for information on how to do this.

Who owns the domain name that I register?

I need to transfer a domain to another registrar
See How to transfer a domain for more information on how to do this.
What is my domain status code?
Your domain status code shows on your whois information when you look-up your domain through a whois tool (such as http://whois.sc/ ). This shows the current state of your domain name, and determines who controls it, if it's about to expire, and whether it can currently be transfered and why.
