Default New Customer - Redirect Existing Domain To Point To Xilo Webspace - 19/10/2007, 12:26 PM

Hi all,

I've got a question. I know a guy who I've recommended use your services as web hosts, as he's been using free services and found that his website goes offline too often.

So, he's already got a domain name registered with 1&1, and just needs to sign up for your XS0 account, with no extra domain name. He also doesn't want to transfer his domain name away from 1&1 (however much of a pain that might be!)

So my question is, when going through the signup process, which of the three options do you choose during step two?

The options are:

- I want XILO Communications to register a new domain for me.

- I want to transfer my domain to XILO Communications

- I will update my nameservers on an existing domain.

As he doesn't want to do either of the first two options, that leaves option three. But when selecting option three, you have to enter a web address. I take it that is where you'd enter his existing domain?

Also, when it says "update existing nameservers", I take it that means that we'd need to update his nameservers to point to the Xilo nameservers? At the moment, we can simply redirect his domain name to a different domain name using the 1&1 control panel.

Thanks for any help.

- Dom
