I'm trying to set my domain name from Godaddy to WA following your instructions, but no way, can I get the name servers menu to appear in Godaddy.
I think your instructions may be out of date and need updating, can anyone help me with this in Godaddy as they seem to be making it difficult to leave
Frazer

when I was making an email name for my weblink,, am email came up but it wasn't my true email. I must have made a mistake with it somewhere along the way .. How would I know wher and how to fix something like this?
And when I've asked questions that give me the option for yes for community help, I don't know where to find the help that was given ? I'm finding this part quite confusing. which it would be if I've given a different non existent email address.

I'm pointed my domain from GoDady! to WA. The begining of instruction shows up the Primary & Secondary name servers in the lower case both. Then, when the formal instruction with the 1., 2., 3... etc steps the both names server shown in the capital. So, I've made in my GoDady account the custom Edit in the Capitals, exactly as it written in the WA instruction.
then, in the Instruction to the "Set up Your Domain Name Servers" (in the http://admin.1and1.com) sais (make sure you put them (DNS) in Lower case), but immediately below the screenshot shows up that both (Primary & Secondary) names in the Capital leters. So, that's the complete mess. Who can tell me what is the true way: in the Text of instruction? In the Notice to the Set up Your DNS? Or in the Screen shot? And if I should correct the DNS in GoDady to the lower case letters? In my military youth years I do remember as some of the guys who was admitted for the position to write instructions was got in the jail because he made the contradictory notices in the instructions he wrote. When the general said, 'so, now you understand how that important to write instructions correct way?' I am answered "I did learn different. Now I know how that important to admit the rite and yet responsible man for the position of writing instructions." The investigator made the face and said to the general: "That's could be. That's make sens." Any way I am stock with the DNS transfer.

Update: Not sure if this is the fix, but I typed the domain into the URL entry bar, it took me to my WA log in, where I can set up my site. So I'm all set.

I've followed all of these steps with Network Solutions, and it shows on their end that my DNS settings are updated, pointing to the correct ones here at WA. however, when I go to the Domains panel here at WA, add the domain I am pointing and click, I get an error: "Oops! We ran into an error on our side and we're working on a fix.." It also adds the domain to the "transfer" box, where when I click, it then takes me to the payment window. Wondering what to do. I will set up a support ticket.

If I change the DNS settings on my Google Domain settings, I stop receiving emails at the address that I have setted.
Anyone to suggest the solution here?

FOLLOWING UP:
I have contacted Google Domains and they told me that I need to give to my new hosting, the MX records of Gsuite and to add this info to my account.
So I have these right now, but where should I add them?

I just transferred my domain name to WA and paid for it a few days ago. I originally bought my domain name from godaddy years ago and tried setting it up but quit years ago.

Godaddy just cleared everything on their end and said it's now WA for the next step.

What now?

Question, I think sometimes I overthink a problem, I went to Godaddy to enter my WA DNS settings, There was a place to enter the Nameserver so I only entered one, Thinking it would ask me for more to enter after this and of course it did not. Is there a problem now? I was only able to enter the Secondary: ns2.mywahosting.com so far.

I'm trying to set up my domain dns. Transferred the domain from GoDaddy today. I follow the instructions and go to Site Domains but there is no launch button. I'm assuming my domain is inactive due to the name changes being done automatically in the background? Other than that, I am at a loss as to why my domain is inactive on WA at this time.

Yes I just purchased one, but they said that ns1.mywahosting.com was not available. I purchased mywahosting.net for 29 bucks, and I'm sure I have the right DNS. Kyle to me I would need to register on a server or my time-table.com site would be taken down. I dont know what to do at this point.

I'm trying to set up my DNS through Go Daddy.com. It says that the ns1.mywahosting.com is taken, but I can purchase "mywahosing.us for 0.99 cent for the first year, and 19.99 for each year after. Is this the same as the WA hosting website? Please someone help me with this. Iom so confused

I recently "pointed" several of my domains to mywahosting.com. The pointing went fine. Now there is a landing page displaying the virtues of joining WA. It includes several links to join. Are these links my WA affiliate links or are they just generic WA links?

Until I setup my sites, I would like to get credit for any referrals that click on these links. Can anyone tell me how to ensure the links are for my affiliate link?

Hy,

I have a little problem. I am hosting my own Nameserver and I use my domain not only for my website but for my remote desktop, VPN, SMTP, AD and so on.

So I am not able to change the nameserver for my domain to point at your nameserver.

Is there a solution how I am able to point at your nameserver and still host my services with my domain?

Hi, I have a business that i am currently developing online and hoped to enhance it by coming on here. I have a website that I haven't launched (as I can't get it looking how I want) I paid for it via loopia. Can I still use this and add affiliate products that compliment my business onto it ?

Found out that since all of my contact info for my domain is totally outdated I have to update it....and that means I am entering into the 60 days lockout. Either I transfer it with the faulty data (which is not possible because it needs email confirmation) or I have to wait 60 days to transfer my domain name to WA.. guess I will just need to find out how to point the DNS servers (I think by the way that I figured that out but my data needs to be approved before I can take that step). -sigh-. Baby steps!

Ok, I am getting a bit further... I have unlocked my domain name and un-privacied it. But I just found out that the email address I was using when I bought this domain many years ago was a different email address (didn't know that until just now) and probably that is causing the problems. I am trying to get it transferred to WA or at least to get the DNS pointed to WA... it is not working.

Ok im pretty much totally lost! My dad purchased a domain for me a while back. I wasnt premium though when I got to the point of being able to use it. I decided to just make another website using the domain but im not sure really who it was purchased through. The verification email says the Organization name is Domain Shield. Is that who it was bought through? And if so its not listed on the options. I know he purchased it through the Wealthy Affiliate website. Feeling very lost please someone help clarify this for me!! Thank You!!

I just purchased my web domain through godaddy, and attempted to transfer my domain to wealthy affiliate, but godaddy seem to have some kind of restriction on doing that. I unlocked that restriction, then it said pending. It gave me a two month period upon which I can only transfer my domain to WA. After speaking with them, the tech told me I had to get this straight WA. Can someone help, because it they plan on holding on to my domain for two months, I will simply cancel my domain and go through another company. I will not waste two months with godaddy inorder to continue my journey with WA. PLEASE HELP

I typed NS1.MYWAHOSTING.COM into the field and GoDaddy says, "It's not a valid IP. What is the current "valid" IP address?

I purchased my DN rom GoDaddy@a week ago. Is this the problem?

I'm trying to transfer my DN from GoDaddy without having to wait the 60 days.

Does anyone know how to Transfer a NEW Domain Name from GoDaddy to WA?

I have presented this problem before, my domain pregnancyandlowbackpain.com was purchased at Wealthy Affiliate site but Google console does not recognise me as the owner of
pregnancyandlowbackpain.com if no www. is placed in it. once you try to open my site at Google console it will give me 404 error. If I open with the one with www. it will open immediately.
Google console said my host site does not welcome domains with www.
My question now is, how can I make this my site useful to me? since I built this site 7 months ago I have been fighting one problem or the other.

Hey guys, I’m relatively new to W.A. I just purchased the premium version and was trying to register my domain to setup a website. I thought premium version was free to own your own domain. So when I went to set it up it ask me to click on link and it sent me to another page to pay additional money to own. What exactly is that about? Need assistance, thanks

When I went to godaddy, the above directions were not exactly correct. It seems maybe something has been moved around. Good thing I've done this before, so I could maneuver enough to find the nameserver boxes and follow the rest of the directions. Godaddy is doing something I haven't seen before. When you try to move your Domain, they are giving extra support to keep you from doing this. Maybe this is why the DNS instructions were not totally correct. Just a heads up.

I created a website before joining WA and I want to add it to my WA account but in order to do so I need the DNS. What if I don't remember where or whom I purchased this domain name from? Is there a way I can find this out online?

I have a .de Domain that won't work with the DNS changes. My Host also says I could try it again if the nameservers know the Domain. My questions are now if i even can get an .de domain? Is WA even concepted for German websites? Will german content even work with WA keyword tool?

I really think that I am at a loss! I have to admit that I am a newbie in online marketing. In the first place I had a wrong understanding of Domain Name. I thought it was my company name that I registered with the Georgia Office of Secretary of State (De La Cruz Enterprises, LLC) and the website that I was intending to use (www.delacruzentllc.com) which I did not buy anywhere else. I would like to get my Domain Name through WA Hosting. PLEASE HELP !!!

Hi there,

I am working on setting up a G Suite account. The first step is to verify that I am the owner of (domain name). In order to do so I need to add the following TXT record to my DNS settings:

google-site-verification=M9XmarM_kAMveN08Dc8B5I9e-TG9t5xtEh0bPIMEI78

Can you please add this for me?

Once this is added, please delete any existing MX records and add Google's MX records.



Please let me know when this has been completed.

Thanks,

I am at how to set up Domain DNS. I already have a Domain name from Go Daddy, when I log in at Go Daddy I don't see the word Launch to click on I don't see the word Domain either. Can someone please direct me where to find either word? thanks

I have just renewed my domain registration on DreamHost and set up my DNS settings to point here to WA but have a couple of questions (hopefully quick ones) please -

1. Does it now mean that the website previously registered and hosted on DreamHost, is now hosted here on WA?
The domain registration remains with DreamHost which is where I will renew each year?

2. Since doing that, I have set up my website here but I don't see any of the pages/posts from the website that I had created there. How do I get those?

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks folks
Gary

Hey Kyle, I think that you need to update the info on SETTING UP YOUR DOMAIN DNS with GoDaddy. I do not see "Launch" instead I only see; MANAGE, which I clicked on...and then I changed it. Just took me a couple of minutes more to try to find the LAUNCH thing to click on,which is/was replaced by manage. Maybe it would benefit others...Thanks

I am trying to change my DNS settings on 1&1 to point my domain to WA. I entered ns1.mywahosting.com under Name Server 1 and ns2.mywahosting.com under Name Server 2 and hit save but when I go back in to check the DNS settings it has reversed the two so that Name Server 1 shows as ns2.mywahosting.com and Name Server 2 shows as ns1.mywahosting.com. I called 1&1 but they could not figure it out and told me to wait until the changes update. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem? Thanks!

I just got off the phone with godaddy, and the rep told me that these links gave him the same error message that I got, which was "The data provided cannot be used, please correct it and resubmit your request." Are these nameservers up above correct? He told me that it wouldn't "take" and to contact WA.

Hi! I bought my domain name from GoDaddy and I am trying to redirect to WA. However, when I log in to my account I do not see "Launch" next to domains. What is displayed is my domain name (private registration) on the left and on the right side is "Set up", "DNS", & "Manage" respectively. I've been searching for this launch button and have not had much success. Does anyone know how to navigate/connect godaddy domain with WA hosting with the GoDaddy display options that I described? Help would be much appreciated :).

Thank you,
Terese

I need HELP!!! I am a very forgetful person and I have very little understanding of the web. I own two domain sites but I have NO CLUE where or how to change the DNS settings. How do I find that out? I have them both hosted right now by another program - do I change them there? If so, how? The other program is GlobalNPN.

After you click on create new website it lets you get to where you write the domain name, then the title, the next step is to select a theme from thousands of them, then after selecting theme it pop up the price 14.69 then click to buy. Then it disappeared I could not find it anywhere

I have been trying to follow instructions to transfer my domain from Go Daddy to WA. And I'm lost!!! I need serious help because I have this message 'You have 1 domain pending removal in 6 days due to DNS issues' So I am now freaking out because the Go Daddy Account does not fit the instructions to follow!

This is doing my head in! HELP PLEASE!!

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!!!

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!

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.

ok so what is this link for? http://admin.1and1.com

I have no idea what this is and how am i supposed to login if i have never even heard of or registered here? i need some clarification here.

I purchased my domain from godaddy recently and the just completed the last step of adding the hosting link or something on godaddy, but what is this " http://admin.1and1.com" thing? i cannot proceed to the next step until i figure this out, can someone please help here thanks, i dont understand this tech stuff, my brain does not function on this level, your help would really be appreciated

I don't understand this stuff. Why do I need to point my GoDaddy domain name to WA? I have never done this stuff before and don't want to screw up something. Can I use the GoDaddy as it sits and build the website here on WA under the SiteRubix ?? Or is that why you have to point it to WA? What are the differences between having something pointed at WA instead of GD? I am a doof here.

I just went through the steps with network solutions. They've been costing me a fortune since I only used them for email and once hosted a site for a organization that I helped found. Once that was transferred to the University of Michigan's server, I should have left network solutions, but instead I just left money in their coffers.

So, I wait to move on to build out the web page until the transfer is complete.

The email comes over as well, correct?

You have got to be kidding???!!! I've never had this much trouble forwarding a domain before. This stuff is not alien to me...but I just don't get this.

I transferred my domain to WA from ipage and paid..and it shows on WA that it's ready, but I can't put the name servers in..I tried to put the name servers in the domain in ipage since it still shows it there, but they don't recognize the name servers..I talked to the support, and they said since I already transferred my domain name over, I have to put the name servers in here at WA...how does that work? lol
