Hi,
As I understand it there are two options:

1. moving the hosting of the domain to WA
or
2. moving the registration and hosting of your domain to WA

Before you could only move the hosting of the domain to WA , but WA has recently become a domain registrar. You can now register the domain with WA. The registration will involve a fee.

My domain is registered with another registrar and hosted at WA. My domain was not moved just the hosting. Here is some information on transferring hosting. If your site is already hosted here you should be able to move it using the move button How do I transfer a website from another host to wa? To move the domain by registering and host it here - read Carson's posted : Transferring Your Domains to WA - It's Now Possible! Pat

Hi, I see you have been given advice on the matter. Irv.

Thank you

I was worried I would lose my content ect Ill head over and do it now. Its the same domain name but I am going from .co.uk to .com

Thanks for the help

If you go to SiteRubix and go on site manager, you will see by your by your website that there is a move button. You click that and you can move your old domain to your new domain. All your content and comments will transfer with it.

It has been ssolved.

Problem solved thanks

I was having similar problems, so I wanted to access my email via my Gmail account. Check out MarionBlack's answer to my question at: How can I reliably send & receive my domain email via gmail? Her solution worked for me. It even worked when I tried her settings in my Gmail account.

Hi, I have has a quick look at your website. It seems to be more work in progress. I am not so sure about the template you are using. There is too much white space. Irv.

You are building a great web site.

OK Coll, I’ve had a good look at your site and this is what’s occurred to me about it.

Your site is in its earliest phase of development, so my comments will either be very general based on the little you have now, or they will be suggestions about what you might consider adding as it develops. I always tread carefully when a site is at this early phase of development because it’s important not to stifle the site creator’s ideas. There’s nothing worse than a honking know-it-all like me telling you what you should be doing, when the odds are you know better yourself.

Overall site appearance:

The layout of your site is the clear and uncluttered WordPress style that’s hard to go wrong with or mess up. You’ve chosen a nice, clean, simple theme that I think works well because it’s quite contrasty. It focuses attention on the main content of your page, while making the options stand out well at the same time.

Content:

At present the content you have is “Meet the Furry Felines”, the “About Me” page, and a “Welcome to Furry Feline Friends” post.

“Meet the Furry Felines”:

This is a nice roundup of the cats in your life (past and present) with a little description and history of each. Anyone finding their way to your site deliberately will like this. Visitors might also like to see a gallery of pictures for each cat. Galleries are relatively easy to make in WordPress (my site is mostly galleries). The pictures you have are good (better than I’m used to seeing generally in fact). They would benefit from being a bit bigger on the page. There’s no reason each couldn’t cover the entire column width. You (or anyone else who took them) have the knack of taking good quality images, so there’s no reason they need to be very small unless you have a personal preference for them to be that way.

“About Me”:

This is a good general introduction to who you are and what you do. It gives visitors a snapshot of you as a person. You mention introducing a comments box for visitors to leave questions. That’s actually a nice way of engaging with people and building a following. You might even consider setting that up as a separate item on the banner menu across the top of the page (you could call it “Ask Coll” or something like that). If you wanted to, you could expand on “About Me” by including more details of your work with BFA (who they are and what they do).

“Welcome to Furry Feline Friends” post:

I see you’ve already started building engagement here with some nice comments, and a link to instagram. Do you have a YouTube channel or a presence on Google +? You could upload videos of the cats there for more engagement.

That covers the existing content.

General suggestions:

The home page is blank at present. That would be a good place for a sort of “mission statement” describing what your site is for, and who in general it’s aimed at. In fact, a lot of what you’ve written in your first post under “Welcome to Furry Feline Friends” would be perfect content for the home page. It gives a great overview of your aims and purpose.

The tag line “Everything you need to know about cats” makes your basic intent for the site very clear. On that basis, what I’ve done is think back to when I was getting my first cat as an adult, and consider what it is I felt I needed to know (and what I found out I didn’t know).

1) You could have an item on the banner menu called “Information” (I suppose “Info” might do). You could then have some sub-categories coming off that for different types of information in areas such as:

“Info for new owners”, which could include:

“What you need to know and do before getting a cat.”
“What to expect and not to expect from a cat.”
“Mythology (falsehoods) about cats.”

As an experienced cat owner, you will have a better idea of what needs to go here.

2) Other sub-categories under “Information” could be “Feeding”, “Recreation”, “Cat behaviour” (things like cat hierarchy in multi-cat households), “Behavioural problems” (urinating or scratching furniture), “How to introduce a new cat to an existing cat or cats”. You will likely have many more ideas in this area than I have. I just put my ideas down as they are common things that a lot of cat owners benefit from knowing about.

3) As a way or building engagement you might have a gallery where regular visitors, or people who have registered with you can send in pictures of their cats for inclusion in it.

4) You could feature a journal/blog page about your work with BFA (you might even be able to promote its work to a wider audience). I’m sure a lot of the people interested in your site would like to know more about it.

5) You already have a “Reviews” item on your banner menu, so I’m guessing at some point you intend to start writing about products or services related to cats. That’s a sensible thing to do because your experience in having so many cats, and working with BFA, is something people can come to trust and value. It can also lead on to the next suggestion:

6) Affiliate marketing:

Once you build a following and start getting some good traffic to your site, it gives you a platform from which to start affiliate marketing of cat-related products and services. The great thing here is you aren’t looking for a niche and then having to learn about it in order to do affiliate marketing. You already know your niche very well, so it gives you a much firmer foundation on which to build affiliate marketing if you want it. Very likely your cats will then demand a share of the profits (or all of the profits), but that’s what cats do. If we aren’t used to it by now we never will be.

Conclusions:

I think you’ve got a lot of scope to build something really good here because you have so much experience in your niche already, and you love it. That’s such a great advantage to have at the beginning. Experience and knowledge are things that create trust. Once you start building engagement many more ideas will occur to you about how to expand and develop the site. I think it has a lot of potential, and you are motivated and knowledgeable enough to succeed with it. I will certainly be following your progress.

you could do reviews on cat foods,,, pros and cons of declawing,,, pros and cons of spay and neutering,,, just a few ideas for ya,,, looking good so far though
