How to transfer a domain to FORPSI?

 

I need a website

Do you need a web presentation or an e-shop on your new domain? You can choose from our offer of high quality webhosting services:
We’ll give you a free trial for 18 days to fully test the service. Classic webhosting services are capable of running simple web presentations. You can choose from a wide variety of popular platforms (WordPress, Joomla…).
If you prefer a preinstalled system we recommend our WP Ready hosting. With WP Ready you get a preinstalled WordPress together with the most popular templates. All you need to do is add some content and fine-tune the design.

I need e-mails

Do you only need e-mails on your own domain? With our E-mails service you get 5 mailboxes. Go to your domain details and order the E-mails additional service.
 

Domain security

We offer multiple services for increased security – e.g. DNSSEC (for free). If you have a FORPSI webhosting you can also get a DV SSL certificate (for free when certain conditions are met) or other certificates.
 

DNS management

To show the right content on your website you need to setup the DNS properly. DNS servers – simply said – give directions to the users. Without them nobody would know where the webservers or mailservers are. You can keep your DNS records at any DNS server of your choice. Most registrars offer their own DNS servers. Some of them might require you to have the domain registered by them though. When transferring domain to FORPSI, please check whether you can still run your domain on current DNS servers.
 
For easier management of your domain we highly recommend you to transfer your DNS to FORPSI as well. We not only offer simple and accessible management of DNS right in your customer administration but for some domains there is the DNSSEC available for better security of your domain.
 
How to change the DNS?
You can find an overview for different TLDs in our knowledge base.
To prevent any downtime, we offer the possibility to set up the records before changing the DNS servers. If you need your domain to run with close to no downtime, please contact us using the Contact form. Send us the records you need to have set and we will prepare our servers for the DNS server change.

Domain redirecting

I already have a website – how to show the presentation on my domain? You can use the service Redirect. All you need to do is give us the URL and the domain will be automatically redirected to desired location. You can purchase the Redirect in the domain details. 

Additional services

The Complete list of additional services with detailed information can be found on our website. The most used are Redirect, e-mails and the possibility to hide the information in the central registry.
 

Domain renewal

To renew your domain, you need to place a renewal order in your customer administration. You can choose the renewal period and also order any additional services. We send a notice to the owner’s e-mail address when the domain is about to expire. We highly recommend keeping your e-mail address updated.
If you have multiple domains in your account, you can ask us to issue a bulk invoice.
Every TLD has its own rules based on central registry policy. There’s an overview of these suspension and renewal processes in our knowledge base in the domains category.
