What is the difference between DNS Transfer and Domain Registrar Transfer?
The information in this article applies to:

Pre-Sales
DNS Transfer
Domain Registrar Transfer

DETAILS
For this article, we assume that you are signing up a web hosting account using a domain name that exists and that you own. If you need to register a new domain, visit: http://domains.integralhosting.com.

You can sign up using a domain name that you already own. After successful order form submission, we will set up your account instantly. Our hosting platform will be set up to accept your domain name.

In order to get your domain name to function with our hosting platform, you will need to perform a DNS Transfer.

DNS Transfer
You will simply need to update your domain's name servers to point to our DNS, which is:
ns1.integralhosting.com
ns2.integralhosting.com
ns3.integralhosting.com (if required)

You should be able to accomplish this using the web interface provided by your domain registrar. Our knowledge base contains instructions on how to accomplish the updates for some of the most popular Domain Registrars.

Your current domain registrar will continue to manage your domain. For example, you will pay them for your domain renewal fees.

Please note, that this is different than a Domain Registrar Transfer. A domain registrar transfer is when you transfer your domain from your current domain registrar to another domain registrar. For example, after a Domain Registrar Transfer, you would pay a different company for your domain renewal fees. Please see article: http://www.integralhelp.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=12&nav=0,6

Integral Hosting is not a domain registrar. Therefore, you will not be moving your domain registrar services over to Integral Hosting.
