I just redirected my Domains from Go Daddy to WA. When I searched my domain names online, it says they aren't available. Is this because they are being redirected and will take a few days, AND, because I haven't set up a website in WA?
Also, when would be the right time to cancel my GoDaddy hosting?
Thanks!!!

I just called GD and they said the redirect in is progress. I don't have access to my websites or domains at this time.
They also said I need to contact WA tech support to get a ZONE FILE set up since my emails that were connected to my domain names are no longer accessible.
I was of the understanding that my emails stayed at GD since they were registered there. Ahhh....what a schmozzle.
I looked around for tech support, but the only thing I found was in the Site Rubix - Tech support ticket.
I assume there's no 800# to call to get immediate assistance, is there??

How frustrating! I would submit a support ticket with WA letting them know what happened and that you need a ZONE FILE set up. Here...

I would create a site first though. Just to get a domain they can connect with you. It doesn't take long. Just choose a domain and a theme, and you can change it later.

Once I have updated my GoDaddy DNS address to point to WA, is there another step that I need to take? Or is it simply a matter of waiting for the site to show up under the "Move" menu when I type it in? Thanks in advance! Itching to get started!

My apologies. I have been sick and thinking wasn't in the picture I guess. I should not have assumed that you had the rest of it under wraps. Oops. Glad it worked out in the end. :)

If you're using HostMonster like I am, here are the steps:
1) Click "Domains" tab next to WordPressTools.
2) Check the Domain Box on the bottom left side where your domains are.
3) Click the "Name Servers" tab.
4) Click "Use Custom Nameservers"
This is where I had to call HostMonster..
So I didn't see that you could scroll down because it doesn't look like there's a section to scroll down from how it's cut off. Now I know and just wanted to make sure others didn't waste time contacting them after reading this.
They said it could take up to 4 hours to take effect.
Hope this has helped!

You'd be better off buying here. I used to think Go Daddy was cheaper and then I found out we get privacy registration included for free so it's actually cheaper if you include that. I don't know much about whois but I'd think there are more benefits to registering thru WA with that too.

GoDaddy is your registrar, one and one is the hosting. Since you are with WA, you can host here. You won't need an account at 1&1.
You may want to consider transferring your registration to WA at some point (instead of renewing at GoDaddy) Transfer A Domain From Godaddy To Wealthy Affiliate For now, just point the nameservers to WA and use the hosting here that is included with your Premium membership.

You have done everything you need to do if you pointed or transferred your domain from GoDaddy. 1and1 is just another hosting company that people may have used. You used GoDaddy, so just keep going in your training.

If you purchased the domain at WA and you have a siterubix site, then you can go into the SiteRubix menu item, and click on Site Manager. Here you will see your siterubix site. In the boxes at the bottom of the site listing there is one called move.
Click on this and follow the prompts. You will enter the domain name that you purchased and the content on your siterubix site will appear on your new domain.
Then you just need to add more content on the new site.
