I started the process of transfering my domain to WA, but then was told I didn't need to do that, just change the hosting, AKA point the domain to WA to avoid the charge. On Hostgator it has the WA domain listed under my website, but I still don't know where to find it on WA. The WA site is different from what's on this video now.

Thanks Tommy, I just watched your video on transfer domain to WA. I have one in Godaddy so that is great. Thanks again. Very helpful. Stay healthy and happy. livingsuperhealthy.com
How do I get traffic to my sites? One is indexed by google but other two is not. But I have had the one indexed up since Oct. 2016 and no sales yet. Is that normal? If you can help me please feel free. :) Thanks, Judy

Hello Tommy I have a question for you is there a difference between pointing a domain and transferring a domain?

Hi Tommy,
I have a domain name that I registered with IX Web Hosting and it's coming up for renewal. I'm assuming that it's a two step process in that I want to transfer it to WA and then renew the domain name. When I try to transfer it to WA from within WA, it asks me for the domain name and then a transfer authority code. Where do I get that transfer authority code from. I'm guessing it comes from IX Web Hosting. Would that be correct?
My domain name expires in the middle of January, 2017 so I'd like to get this done sooner rather than later.
Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and Merry Christmas!

I have a Site Build It! site I want to transfer over to WA asap. As I change the DNS addresses, it tells me it won't transfer because the domain is locked. I emailed support asking how to unlock it.
That's ridiculous... Has anyone heard about locked domains and how to unlock them?

Tommy, was stuck until I watched your video. Just an FYI to those out there. I HAD to cut and paste my domain name from namecheap.com to WA. Don't know why, but it would NOT allow me to type my domain name. You emphasized that in your video and saved me! THANKS.

Tommy,
will I be able to add an email that has @"domainname" to the suffix of the email address via WA, or should I do that at the site I purchase the domain? (ex. godaddy)?

Tommy, I transferred my domain name per your instructions and it states the domain was transferred to WA. When I click on the Log In page, I cannot finish setting up my web page because it does not take me to the Word Press section, clicking the link actually takes me to the actual website. The site is it is in the process of being updated. Does this mean the DNS is not yet set with WA or what did I do wrong? Thanks for your help in advance!

Great job Tommy on the training video. I had the question of how to do this and found your video, which made it easy for me. Thank you.

This video lesson is just for transferring a newly bought domain. Now if you had a website with content on its here is a different process with FTP transfers. Put in a ticket in the website and hosting area to get them transferred or check with Carson or Kyle

I am very happy to say with Tommy Dillard's help I can finally get to working on my website. Tommy exemplifies what WA is all about. He took time out of his day to work with me personally and overcome a challenge I had getting my new domain from Go Daddy transferred over to WA hosting. Tommy is from Southern CA and I'm from Southern PA and we don't know each other from Adam but he showed great kindness to a complete stranger and came to my aid. This shows the power of a great network like WA.!! You are a true gentleman sir and Karma will smile on you, I am sure. Check out Tommy's posts and his sites.

Tommy, Thanks for the training. I am having a hard time transferring a new domain from Go Daddy.com. I bought the domain name last Sunday and followed the instructions posted. I still end up getting sent back to the Go Daddy page when I go into WP admin. I sent a help ticket in and I posted a request for help in the getting started section. Go Daddy told me it was a problem on the hosting end. Something about having the right IP address in the zone file.. My help ticket response was this:
I pointed my website on Go Daddy as instructed in Kyle's tutorial on Sunday. It is now Tuesday and I still cannot access it in word press to work on it.
Resolution Response: Please note now you just need to point the WWW record of the site to IP 107.22.190.17. You can verify DNS details at the following URL; http://www.intodns.com/sim-pli-fy.com [ Note: DNS zone record changes (A, MX, CNAME) typically take 0 to 4 hours to resolve, but are known to take as long as 8 hours. ]
I have deleted the site. No big deal as it is brand new and started over on the WA side and it still won't take. I am sure I am missing doing something. A lot of the tutorials for this are a little older. Go Daddy now also has a new domain name area. If you can help me out here I would be very happy as I am anxious to continue.
