Hi there. I have two websites. One is a small business site hosted on Lunar and the other is a small social/club site hosted elsewhere. I want to set up my club site as an add-on site on my lunar account and I think I have figured out how to do this.

My question is though... my other host is similar to lunar in that they give 'free domain'. So what happens when I transfer from them as regards paying for this domain?

Much appreciated...

PS: I understand it would be more logical to ask my old host but you see that's part of the reason I'm moving!!

If you want to transfer the registration of the domain name over to us, shoot us over an e-mail at support@lunarpages.com and we could get that done for you.  It would be $9.95 as a one time fee for the transfer and then the same price for yearly renewals (unless you wish to use it as your free domain for life).  Hope that helps.

Great! So I just transfer the DNS of my site to lunarpages and within 72 hours when people type myurl.com they will be taken to the new location? Then I send you a mail asking for transfer of domain registration. Almost sounds too easy to be true!

In the meantime if I go to 'Add-on Domains' in my cpanel and add my domain to start uploading my site. Will I be able to preview before the DNS transfer is complete or will I even have access to upload?

Many thanks  Thumbs Up

Hey, we like doing things the easy way here.  Thumbs Up

With addon domains, yes - you will be able to see it before you domain is working by checking out the subdomain that is created for it when you setup the addon domain (or just peek inside the yourdomain.com/addondomain/ folder).  Hope that helps!
