Can I use a domain name registered with another company

When you register a domain name you reserve the name for a period of time (usually a year or two). It is not necessary to have your domain name registered with the same company that would be hosting your website (and thus your domain). However, you have to point the domain to your hosting space to make it work properly. This is done by applying your hosting company's name servers to your domain name.

Inside the domain Control Panel provided by your registrar (the company you registered the domain with) you should have the option to change the name servers, which may also be referred to as NS or DNS change.

To properly host a domain registered with another company with us, you must:

1. Add the domain to your Hosted Domains list (Site Management > Hosted Domains).
2. Set our name servers for your domain.
3. Wait for the name server change to propagate (usually within 12-24 hours).
