I have been highly recommended to Flippa. I won't go to name cheap

I bought my .com from Cheap Names.
I transferred it to WA.
I purchased it for 3 yrs, for best pricing.
Sorry you're leaving, Linda.
Barb

Thanks, Barb I wrote about in four posts, not because it's a non-profit website because I turned it to a book So there is no reason to stay on and there are other reasons also You would have to read what I wrote. Alls good Barb I think this is a good decision. I have had a very good run with the platform and WA Family. I can do a lot on Social media know that I know-how.

Trish, I really don't understand How is whois.net. I write in my browser my URL and It does directly to my site

Trish, I copied and pasted in my browser also and I still end up on my website http://alwaysabetterways.com

if the URL has a back slash on the end it will show as not found

Thanks, Trish!
I bought my domain, 2 years ago, and when I went to select it said, already taken!
I think I bought that one 7 years ago, from another web building program.
Sure would like to know if I own them both!
Wink!
Barb

Hey Barbara,

Go to Google, type in whois and then click on the dot net version and use their search to see. You could also type the domain name into your browser's address bar. If a website loads then you know someone else now owns that domain name.

Some years ago, I bought a hobby site domain name through an American web hosting company and I did not like how they did business, so I discontinued business with them. Thankfully they let the domain name go, and I was able to purchase it years later, in my name.

This is exactly why I inform my local business clients to ALWAYS own their own hosting account and domain name. Most hosting accounts now include domain name registration, but this is how NO one will be able to hold their domain names hostage.

I think I understand better I am only leasing my domain for a yearly price so I don't own it out right

You would need to ask whomever you are paying to host your domain to be certain Linda, so don't be afraid to ask them.

thanks, Darlene will check it out

The site will only be there if it is hosted here - unknown from question.
And yes Flippa is one site that you can sell from.
If the site is listed here and she is leaving at the end of the month she may well not get a buyer in time.

That all may be true but she can at least try.

She can transfer the domain to somewhere like godaddy and park it until a buyer can be found.

That's good to know.

yes I have heard two names mentioned Godaddy and Flippa where do I find website>>sitedomain Barbara. I know my domain in good standing because I paid it up for three years and it still has 2 years on the domain.
Jeff did this valuation for me and it is mind-boggling to think that it has so much value. But to do that I need to know where to find my ownership. I got it though WA does it have to stay here

that sounds interesting I already have had it Valuated i would have to check that out Neil

You find websites in your menu under your profile photo.
It says dashboard, then training, then websites. Click on website s then click on site domain. It will bring up all the domains you bought through WA.

ok I found it and it can be transferred it is up to date till 2021 all this has been very helpful. know that I have this information I can go to site support thanks all of you for your help

Thanks Neil I have a much broader viewpoint on what can be done I will check it out.

You're very welcome, Linda.
Glad I could help.

She should be able to take it with her and register it elsewhere. TheCatherine seems to know quite a lot about this topic - I would ask her!

even if I tried to hang on to it I have no idea how to do that nor where to store it. It is up to date and still has 2 years on the domain name. maybe you are right to get intouch with site support.

how is thecatherine and were do I find her

Type her name as all one word in the search box above and pm her and follow her.

Info on how to transfer can be found under websites and then site domains and then check out the drop downs called settings on the far right beside the domain name. You would have to re-register it with another registrar like GoDaddy or NameCheap or some such.

thanks again all good information

Hi Leo I seen that you placed the file in Pages but if I want it to show on side bar then I would have to use Widgets is that not correct. So would it be the same prosier.

Yep just add a widget to your side bar and place the link in that widget - same process

Watched the video, Leo. Great!

Jim

Thanks Leo was able to create with the original e book cover on a widget. My problem was how to create so that the cover would show. I did that but first has to create the picture then add pdf. so know you can click on the book and vulva download appears .

yes Codevonish, that is correct. The comments are turned on and have checked that out but offering comments from my readers from the widget or application at the bottom of my the posts is not there and there for my readers can't make a comment, so there is no feedback. I can't move forward till I have this configuration. I watched a video that Tribu linked me to and it targets my problem. But did not resolve.

Thanks Codevonish for taking the time to view my page and figuring out my problem. Do you have the solution? Would be much appreciated. Linda

allow comments is on but the comment box on my blog is not showing. Therefore it doesn't allow my readers to make comments.

thanks Triblu you video on comment is very helpful and targets my problem but doesn’t resolve Kyle say it should turn on my default. so there is something that I am going wrong. The step by step video that Kyle used in setting up your fist blog post is what I need to go back to but I can't find it. Linda
