Login to your domain control panel and change the name servers to point to your new host. Ask your web host what their name servers are, they will be something like ns1.webhost.com

Once you have finished that login to your hosting control panel and look for 'addon domain' or something like that. Next you will need to wait up to 24-hours from your domain to update and you should be good to go.

You do not need to have your domain with your hosting company. In fact in most cases it's best you keep them with separate companies.

Sometimes the domain name propagation takes more than 24 Hrs, in some cases it has also taken couple of days so don't hesitate if your domain is not live within 24 Hrs.

Hi everyone, just looking for some advice. I have already registered a domain name with SBI, now I have just had an email from a domain provider called Intrust domains offering me a similar domain name for an extortionate amount of money, I have copied the email below. Will this domain come up for sale after a few days, I have been watching my usual domain provider for this to become available, where I can get a .com from for around £20 UK.

Thank you for your inquiry. We are accepting offers for this domain beginning at $97. In most cases $97 is enough to win the domain. It will be released for sale by our affiliate in the next few days. If you are interested in this domain, kindly click through here and fill out the form.
But if you would prefer the domain to be removed from the auction please submit $397. Our sales department will contact you as soon as the domain has been released for sale.
