Switching from another Host using Network Solutions

[elizas33]

I'm on a page that's asking me for the following info about my new host (that's you guys!):

Host NIC Handle
Host Name
IP Address

Contact email address
NIC Handle

I tried to look up your info using their WHOIS service, but it told me hostrocket.com was available and asked if I wanted to register it. Ha!

So I need that info... thank you! Also, if anyone can explain to me how I'd switch from NS to another registrar, I'd be mighty obliged.

HR does not have NIC handle for HOSTROCKET.com (Because the domain is not registered in NS)

However you should open a ticket for more information

Just place in you own NIC info for the Tech, Admin and Owner sections.

All you need to edit is the DNS info.

Just enter in the IP addresses and the name servers and leave the rest.

To make things much easier, you should transfer you domain name to Direct Nic
http://www.direcnic.com
They are by far much cheaper ($15 a year) and the you have control over you domain name. You can edit all the info about the domain your self instead of waint for all those stupid confirmation emails the NS send you.

If you want something cheaper but nealry as good,
check out
http://www.godaddy.com

you can get domain names here at $8.95 each for one year.

I have used http://www.GoDaddy.com for past 3 domains. $8.95 per year! Just think how much money I wasted with Network Solutions, Register.com, and others.

They have a very easy account manager interface. After the garbage NS puts you through, this is wonderful.

I am transferring all my other domains to them also. Full details on how to transfer your present domain are on their website.

Woo hooo!! Finally another person agrees that NS suck and take you on a extra long trip just to do a small task.

i mean why pay $70 for 2 years minimum what you can pay $15 (directnic) or ($8.95) for 1 year! Also, if you decide you dont want that domain before a year well then you really have not lost much compared to what you would loose if you went with NS.

I use to use NS aswell and untill i tried direcnic and godaddy, i have never looked back.


I think everyone should check these places out.
