Q: Can I use a registrar other than Network Solutions?
A:

Yes. When you transfer your domain, you will have to update your record with your registrar (instead of with Network Solutions), specifying UCVHost Name Servers.

Your registrar is usually whomever you bought your domain from. Unfortunately, UCVHost Support cannot help you fill out the transfer forms for your individual registrar. There are many registrars out there, and each one has different procedures for the registering and transferring of domain names. We cannot know the precise procedures of each registrar. We can only give you the information that we have: our nameserver information and a general overview of the process.

The process, in overview, is:
1. Create an UCVHost account with the domain name.
2. Upload your content, using the IP address.
3. Create your mailboxes.
4. Follow your registrar's procedures to update your DNS record. Fill out any forms and reply to any email you need to to complete the process.
5. Wait. Due to the distributed nature of DNS, it will take several (usually 2-4, but sometimes 7-10) days *after* your records are updated for the DNS changes to propagate. There is no way to speed this process up. If, after about 10 days, the domain still does not resolve properly, you can contact us to help you determine what the problem is.
