Trouble - 8/1/2008 3:40:11   
ok, I had a website hosted on www.enriqueplazolart.com

the server belongs to a friend, I just had to pay for the host name.



I logged into hostgator.com to buy space instead of having it on my friends server.

How can I change it over to host gator? I still have the host name. and I bought space on hostgator. but it still redirects to my old server.


thanks,

please tell me if I am not clear on something.

You need to change the domain nameservers to match your current server. The domain is still pointing at your friends server.

Access your GoDaddy Registrar account and change the Domain Server information which is now shown as:

NS29.DOMAINCONTROL.COM
NS30.DOMAINCONTROL.COM

To: (the HostGator companion DNS settings provided by them).

Allow 48-72 hours for the change to be made then transfer your site files using the username/password information provided by HostGator.

Welcome to OutFront!

:) Whoops! Looks like I posted at the same time as MCD. His info correct; mine expands somewhat.

The Domain Name Server change to NS1029/1030.HOSTGATOR.COM has been processed. See:

http://whois.domaintools.com/enriqueplazolart.com

You should be able to transfer files now.
