Domain Name Transfer to Hosting with DNS settings preserved

Want to move a domain name from another party to Hosting with a website and/or email? No problem. A transfer of a domain name to Hosting will only be implemented after 2 hours. This gives you enough time to set up the DNS after the order is submitted. Once the 2 hours have passed, the move will be shot in. After that, it may take up to 24 hours for the new nameservers to be indexed.

  • Type: select the type of record, for example, A, CNAME or TXT.
  • Content: what should the name refer to? For example, MS=ms123456 or janjansen.nl.s3.amazonaws.com
  • Priority: this indicates the priority, the lower the number, the higher the priority. Basically, you only need to enter this for the ‘MX’ type.
  • TTL: Time to Live; the time before future changes become visible.

Click ‘Add’ to save the new record and make it active.
