Notes

  • Of the two methods covered in these lessons, one is not “better” than the other. Both have EXACTLY the same effect.
  • As already mentioned, different registrars will have different navigation methods to reach where you need to go. If you’re having trouble, just do a Bing or Google search. For example “transfer domain from godaddy” and “control domain dns at godaddy”.

Well, the bad news is that I can't transfer my domain name from Google until June 25, and I can't build a website using my domain name unless I use one of Google's many partners to host it. (WA isn't one of them.)
The good news is that I can use the time to write more content and have a well-populated website when I do start up.

Although you can't transfer your domain name until the non-transfer period is ended, you can redirect its DNS as described in my training. That's all you need to do. As soon as propagation is complete (a few hours, up to 24) you'll be able to build your website at WA.

Contact me if you need more help with this.

Thank you, Phil this exactly what I needed. My domain so happens to be at Namecheap. Either way, you have discussed my options so now I know what to do with my domain name from here. Thanks for sharing this training.

You're welcome, Lakisha. Most of my domains are with Namecheap.

As I said in the training, I think that if you transfer it, you have to pay a registration fee, but it gets added to any remaining time. I'm not 100% sure as I've never transferred a domain name to WA. I always just point the DNS to WA's servers (as also covered in the training).

Thank you Phil, for this training. What if you were trying these website builders who still contact you on the same issue of a website, but had not registered and paid for the domain name? Do you still need to go through this at WA or do you simply build your website and abandon the previous website builders? Please advise.

I'm not sure that I understand the question, Joseph. Are you talking about domain name registrars who want you to use their web hosting to build your website?
If so, just ignore them (opt out of their mailing list so they stop bothering you), point the domain at WA as I cover in the training and build your website here.
If you mean something else, please explain further.
