Thanks!

Thanks!

I had 1&1 for the domain name only. I changed the dns to Wa without a problem. The hosting was done by another company that deals only with photography. I decided to use my domain name here and redo all the content. It was only for my clients to see their proofs and I do not have any clients that are actively looking at proofs right now, so it was a good time to change. So I didn't move the content just the domain name.

Thanks phoenix.I had a namecheap domain that I bought before I understood hosting.I put a canva image on it and lost that before I tried to change the hosting. I had to get it changed manually do to a tech problem. I wonder if it was because of the content and Do I need do a 301 or 404 or what ever the case may be?

It may have been because of the content. I am really not sure. I would post the question to the community about 301 or 404. I am not sure about that. Don't want to steer you in the wrong direction! : )

Thanks Phoenix:)

Hi - WA does not (currently) provide domain name registration - so if you had your domain name through 1&1 (I did too for some), then you still need to pay them for the domain name renewal.

They will continue to provide the domain services, and let you point it to WA hosting.

Your monthly/annual fee with WA - pays for your hosting - your 1&1 domain name simply points your domain to WA.

So please be careful, and don't cancel everything with 1&1 - and make sure you keep your domain name services.

I've dealt with 1&1 for many years, so if you're in any doubt, either log a ticket with them (they are very good in my experience), or drop me a note - and we'll try and ensure your transition to WA hosting, and remaining 1&1 domain hosting, goes smoothly.

All the best, Mark

Thanks! That's what I thought. I just wanted to make sure. They renew automatically, so it shouldn't be a problem. Thanks again!

You're very welcome Liz - just make sure they don't renew automatically your website hosting, unless you have other sites with them.

Cheers, Mark

I had another hosting site which I already cancelled. Thanks!

I wrote my question wrong. I had my hosting at another place which I cancelled as WA is now the host. I was paying month to month, so no big deal. I just wanted to know if I have to renew the domain name thru 1&1. I appears that I do. Thanks for the help!

No problem. I did think you were talking about hosting rather than registration. Glad you got your answer.

Thanks for answering my question. You really helped my today!
