Can I transfer my hosting (godaddy) to a different domain?

Question

Ive got godaddy hosting but it isnt good enough for my site. So I have another domain that is currently parked but I thought maybe I could transfer my hosting to that site. Is that possible?

Answer 1

You can have anyone host your domain services. They are yours as long as you pay for them. You just need to point your domain's host name(s) at the IP address that your hoster gives to you.



For example, you can buy your domain from GoDaddy. Purchase hosting services from another company like Verizon or Network Solutions. Then point your domain to the IP address provided by the hosting company.



GoDaddy and your new hoster can help you with the process. Don't be afraid to give them a call.

They know specifics that are not available here at Y! Answers.



I hope this helps.

Answer 2

Short answer is yes. Lets get the terminology correct, so I can make sure I answered your question correctly. First your site, is your domain. For example, www.yahoo.com is the site/domain name. The site/domain is hosted at a webhosting company (e.g. GoDaddy). So if you are asking if you can transfer your current site to the hosting provider that is parking your other site/domain, then the answer is yes.



Now, when you transfer your site/domain to another host, you will lose everything that was setup at your current host, the only thing that will transfer is the domain name. The host that is hosting your parked domain, will give you instructions on how to transfer your site/domain to them. I hope that helps.

Godaddy is a good service to register domain names, not to get your web site hosted. This is my personal experience during these years.



As an experienced webmaster I recommend BH web hosting which I’m sure it would work for you and fulfill all your requirements. They have a really great offer for hosting & I have used them for over 3 yrs now, and have never had a single problem with them.
