How to set up a domain name to work with XtraOrbit hosting?

There are three options for setting up your domain to work with XtraOrbit Hosting:

  1. If you purchase your domain directly from XtraOrbit, no further action is required. We will set the name server (DNS) settings for you.
  2. If you already own a domain that you purchased from a different registrar or hosting company, you can transfer the entire domain to XtraOrbit. All aspects of the domain, including billing and domain administration, are transferred from your old registrar to us. For information about how to do this, please follow this link.
  3. If you already own a domain that you purchased from a different registrar or hosting company, and just want to host it with us without transfering (changing registrar) it to us, you can change the domain's name server (DNS) settings to point to XtraOrbit's Hosting servers. Unlike a transferred domain, billing and domain administration remain with the domain's current registrar. Instruction for how to do this will be emailed to you upon hosting purchase.
