do they PM me? do i PM them?.... what needs to be transfered? how do i use the domain?

If you've bought a domain from someone here at NamePros, it's a good idea to pm the seller if you haven't heard from them yet. You can check at the bottom of the main page to see if they're online. If they're not, be patient

You usually need to pay for the domain before you receive it. If you are paying in NP$, you can send them directly to the seller. If you are paying via paypal, you will need to pm the seller for their paypal ID.

They will probably want you to set up an account at the registrar (Godaddy, Enom, etc..) where the domain was located so that they can "push" the domain to your account for free. You will then need to pm the seller with your account info (ID, e-mail, etc...)

Once you receive the domain, it's really up to you what you do with it. You can just keep it in your account if you like. You could "park" it at a place like sedo.com to maybe make a few cents every time someone clicks on one of the links on your site. You could develop it by finding a host, and putting content on your page. You could even resell it.

Good luck!

I'm not sure...
You might have hosting through the registrar. If not, you will want to obtain hosting (there are some cheap plans via NamePros members). Once you have hosting, you would use an html/other program to set up your site, and maybe an FTP client to transfer the code to the host.

but when i've got a site all made, how do i assign it to the domain?

You will have to work with your hosting comapny to set that up. Basically, they will assign the domain to your hosting account & give you the needed info to enter into your FTP client so you can upload the code to their server.

in my Cpanel there are 2 buttons, saying

Parked Domains
and
Addon Domains

is this what i need to use?

yandig · 06-30-2005, 03:42 PM

sorry, I don't use cpanel

Wildchild22 · 06-30-2005, 04:05 PM

ah okies, thanks for the help

barefoottech · 06-30-2005, 06:44 PM

Yes In Cpanel you can the New Domain As either a Parked Domain or add-on Domain. You will still need to Set the Nameservers of the DOmain to point at your hosting .Ask your Friendly Tech-support person at the hosting company.

is the NP$ Domain Registration good enough to be used?, i've been looking and i can't see anywhere that it offers Free push?

You upload it to the hosting server, and then log into the place where your domain is kept. You will need to change the nameservers for that domain to point to the hosting server. Now, this is pretty easy, especially if you host with 1and1, because they allow you to "add on" domains. It is an idea to ask your host for the nameservers and DNS settings for new domains.
