If your domain name is already registered, but not residing on the FutureQuest name servers, then you will need to modify your domain's DNS (domain name servers). This process is also sometimes referred to as "transferring your domain".

This tutorial explains the process while attempting to answer some of the most commonly asked questions concerning the domain transfer procedure. Step 1: Request a Package Step 2: Prepare for the Transfer We also recommend having the email on your old host forwarded to another email account not associated with your domain name until the transfer has been completed.

The above will help to minimize the risk of lost email and/or web site visitors.
