in your godaddy admin panel, for your domain you should be able to set the “Nameservers”.
From your hostgator hosting, they should tell you what your nameservers are. It will be something like NS1.NAMESERVER.COM. You will have two nameservers. Go into the godaddy page and put these name servers to replace the ones with godaddy.
Godaddy i think is like PARK##.SECURESERVER.NET
Once you replace that the domain will look for your hosting at HostGator.

Don’t trust dishonest claims like “Best web hosting only $1 /month” or “Get the cheapest web hosting without sacrificing quality and features!!”. Take into consideration that some hosting companies are cheating and lying to their customers. It is very important that your service be uptime (functioning and available for use) . It means you can access your account whenever you want to update your web pages, and users can enter your website whenever they refer to your site address. If your hosting service is not uptime it can be catastrophic!
If your website is not a business site (is personal), you can refer to this cheap, reliable service:http://www.goldpuma.com
As an experienced web master, I’m sure GoldPuma would work for you and fulfill all your requirements. They have a really great offer for hosting & I have used them for over 3 yrs now, and have never had a single problem with them.
Hope this helps.

I have a GoDaddy domain and I was wondering if there is a way to change the actually domain name to something else.

Like does it have something like godaddy/(thenameofyoursite).com or something like that? or is it like a real website. like if i was naming it basketballstuff, would it be basketballstuff.com or something like basketballstuff.godaddy.com or godaddy.basketballstuff.com?

Like when you register the domain it says standard, deluxe, protected. Does that mean anything?

If you do a “WHOIS” and the status says it’s on redemption period, only the last registered name holder can “redeem” it with the last sponsoring registrar (Go Daddy based on what you stated). Even if you “pretend” to represent the registrant, Go Daddy will still redeem and put it on its last registration account and not in another.
Next best thing is to make a reservation with various backorder companies like Snapnames, Pool, and Enom Club Drop. They have the best batting averages for .com.

Different e-commerce sites have tie-ups with different payment gateways or payment service providers.Checking on their web-site itself for what they support and what they don’tis the best option. Follow the payment links and you will know…you are not giving the money right now anyways. .are you ?

When you register a domain through godaddy.com, they give you a “parking” page until you create a website to go with it. In today’s world, most people seem to associate “domain name” with “website”, so if you had a domain without a website, many people would think the domain didn’t exist.
Basically, the “parking” page is there to say “this domain exists, but doesn’t have a website yet”.

Which is better to do:
1) Delete account (domain and server access) with GoDaddy and then re-open same domain name with new server?
2) or finish out year paid for domain with GoDaddy and then take my domain elsewhere? Is that even possible or does GoDaddy own it?

Im sick of Go Daddy. I bought the rights to a domain name for two years, but am sick and tired of GoDaddy putting their ads all over my webpage. How do I move it to someone else’s server, and in two years do I retain the rights?
