let's figure it out

Thank you!! :) I thought maybe Kyle would know, but my domain was bought through ipage.com and there's no tutorial for that one! And ipage support wasn't much help! They told me I had to change the name servers at WA..lol

Does your domain show on this page?

https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/websites/domains

yes, but not with my other domains..it's at the bottom of the page, and it still shows that domain at my other server ipage!

What does the "status" say on this page:

https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/websites/domains/transfer

Pending transfer and then in yellow words it says transfer in progress, but on the other page in green it says ready!

Have you received any emails asking you to confirm the transfer?

nope, but I'll check my other email from ipage! One sec!

Okay got this email in my other email account! Re: Transfer of http://everythingfamilylife.com

http://Domain.com received notification on Mon Jun 19 14:27:07 2017 that you have requested a transfer to another domain name registrar.

If you want to proceed with this transfer, you do not need to respond to this message.

If you wish to cancel the transfer, please contact us before Sat Jun 24 14:27:07 2017 by going to our website,


You may need to enter the following information to accept or decline the transfer:

Domain Name: http://everythingfamilylife.com


If we do not hear from you by Sat Jun 24 14:27:07 2017, the transfer will proceed. Just have to wait for Saturday I guess because I don't know where that transfer key goes..lol

Thank you so much for your help! :)

Please remove the transfer key from your posting that could be a sensitive piece of information.

I'm assuming you entered the EPP code when you paid for the transfer at WA?

I didn't even put the transfer key in yet, as I just saw the email when you asked me to check...lol

Please edit your comment above to remove the key from your comment.

okay..thank you! :) I deleted it from my post..I guess that was kinda dumb..lol

You change your DNS server names on the site where you originally purchased the domain name. That is where you enter the WA DNS server names.

I did that, and they said the name servers don't exist...lol

What were the nameservers you entered?

What it listed : Primary: ns1.mywahosting.com
Secondary: ns2.mywahosting.com
but without the primary and secondary in front of them! I moved domains to other servers before, and I even ran my own server years ago, so I know how to put in name servers, but IPage doesn't like those nameservers...lol

Those should work, they are the same as one of my sites. When you enter them in the dashboard on the IPage site where you bought the domain name, make sure there is no extra space in front of or after the addresses. If IPage allows more than the two nameservers, then just get 2 additional from OpenDomain and add them as well, never hurts to have an extra directory anyway.

Barring any success there I would open another support ticket with WA and request new DNS servers. Don't add that request to an existing support ticket as it may just muddy the waters and confuse things even more, a new ticket is best in my experience. :-)

I also see a couple of other issues that are not necessarily DNS related.

-- Your URL is not simply http://everythingfamilylife.com/, you need to add an s for SSL, thus making it https://everythingfamilylife.com/. That gives a nonspecific 500 internal server error which is too generic to be meaningful at all. :-(

-- Do you have the numeric IP address of your website from your control panel? If so enter those digits in your web browser (no https, etc.) and see if you can open your site from there. If that fails then there is another hosting server issue other than DNS on the WA server. The numeric IP address ignores DNS entirely and goes directly to your website server.

Thank you! It is all working now! :) Thanks for all your help! :)

It may look like an error message, but this means you were successful in pointing the domain to WA!
