How do you transfer a website over to Ovaleye?
Websites are connected to domain names. Ovaleye would like to look at your website before starting
your transfer. This way we can see how long the transfer would take and what it involves. This will just
need your current ftp login information. Please add the ftp login to the
transfer@ovaleye.com email.
What is DNS?
Domain Name System (DNS), similar to a zip code, is your server location. It changes when we transfer
your domain name. This process usually takes up to 24 hours. Your email and website may be unaccessible during
this time. Once the DNS has propagated you are good to go and now located on Ovaleye's servers. Ovaleye takes
good care of you while your transfer goes through to our servers. Our servers are located in Fisher Plaza,
the premier Northwest telecom hub. To ensure physical and environmental security, our data center is
SAS 70 Type II audited and operated according to the highest standards.
What are nameservers and what do I do with them?
Nameservers tell you where your domain and website are located. The nameserver can be added
automatically when you purchase a domain name. If you have chosen
to keep your domain name at another domain company, you are able to point the domain name to our
servers by adding our nameservers, which Ovaleye will supply when you email
transfer@ovaleye.com
What is an Authorization code? Where do I find it?
Transfers can't happen without an authorization code.
Here are the steps in authorizing Ovaleye to transfer your domain name.
- In your current domain control panel find where you get a Authorization code. It's listed in many control panels.
- The authorization code will be emailed to you. So make sure your current registrar has updated records. If you do not have the control panel info you can always call your current registrar to transfer.
- The code will be emailed to you. Please add the code to your information when emailing transfer@ovaleye.com
- Ovaleye enters the authorization code when the transfer starts. It's the key to the transfer!
What do I need to know when I transfer my email?
Before your website and email transfer you should make sure that
all your emails have been retrieved from your current server. When the transfer goes through then your new
email should be waiting for you. Ovaleye keeps track of the process with you. Your email is important!
