WARNING

We became aware that some hosting companies are requesting that our customers transfer their domain name to them.  Due to the lack of understanding about the term "transfer", they make it appear that in order to use their hosting service, you must transfer your domain name to them not the DNS name server only.  This can be a costly mistake to you now and in the future, due to the exorbitant cost you will be charged for domain yearly renewal, and your future business.  By having your domain name with a company that only registers domain names, you will have the flexibility to change hosting companies anytime you wish without losing your domain name or your hosting service.  In order to set up hosting for a website, you only need to modify the name server setting associated with that domain name.  You can do that in minutes at www.domainsnext.com without having to transfer your domain name and with no extra charge
