To add a new domain name to your account:
- Select Add New Domain in the Domain Settings menu.
- Choose the type of domain you want to register.
You can choose out of the following options:
Registering Standard (Second Level) Domains
To create a new standard domain (.com, .net, .org, etc.), enter
your desired domain name into the field in the first form
omitting the www part:
To its right, select the top level domain: com, .org, .net, etc.,
then enter your contact and billing information.
Based on these data, the system generates a domain registration
request and submits it to the domain registration company.
Transfering Domains
Transfer domain already registered from outside your CP to Success Life Network's registrar
This will update domain's info and change its DNS servers to Success Life Network DNS servers.
Advantages to transferring domains you own to Success Life Network include the ability to renew your domains directly from your control panel.
Transfered domains are registered with Success Life Network for the period chosen at transfer
plus the time remaining from registration with original registrar.
NOTES ON DOMAIN TRANSFERS:
The following domains types are not eligible for transfer to the Success Life Network registrar:
- Domains purchased throught an outside regstrar in the last 90 days.
- Domains already in use in the system
- Third level domains if they use a second level domain owned by another user
Before attempting transfer, you must log into the system where you registered your domain and make sure that:
- Your domain is unlocked.
- You obtain a Transfer Authorization Key. The wording on this may vary - it is a secret code required to prevent unauthorized domain transfers. You will need to enter this code in your CP upon registration.
- Your email address on file at that registrar is valid.
Your current domain registrar will likely contact you at the email address they have on file to confirm your domain transfer. Failure to respond to confirmations will result in a failed domain transfer.
Hosting of Existing Domains
Choose this option to host a domain registered outside Success Life Network (e.g. GoDaddy, Network Solutions, etc...) if:
- you prefer to contact the registrar personally rather than
apply changes automatically;
- you would like to register a non-standard or regional domain,
which can't be registered automatically (e.g. your_domain.de);
- you prefer a different registrar than the one used by your
hosting provider.
In either case, you need to make sure that the domain name is valid.
Enter it into the box, omitting the www. part.
NOTES ON HOSTING A DOMAIN REGISTERED ELSEWHERE:
Following the registration in your CP, you will get an e-mail notification
with the information to send to your domain name registration
company. They will make appropriate changes on the root DNS
servers, and within a couple of days your domain will be accessible
at the new IP address. Right after registering the domain in your user CP,
your site will be available by the instant domain alias.
Your new DNS servers will be: (in either order):
- ns2.successlifenetwork.com
- ns.successlifenetwork.com
Domain Renewal
Domains transfered or registered from your H-Sphere control panel
with a domain registrar need to be renewed when the registration period expires.
In your account you can choose between manual and
automatic
renew modes.
Manual Renew Mode
With Manual renew mode, you will be warned about domain expiration in advance,
so that you can renew the domain on time. To renew your domain manually:
- Go to your CP Domain Settings/Domain info menu, and click the domain name link.
- On the page that appears in section Domain Renew Mode, click the Renew domain link.
- Choose a domain renewal period in the form, you will be taken to.
- Press Submit and agree to charges, if any.
WARNING:
It is important to renew your domain on time,
as you will not be able to renew it from your Control Panel when it gets expired.
Automatic Renew Mode
If you have opted for an Automatic Renew Mode, the domain will be automatically renewed the number of years, you specified when choosing the Domain Renew Mode. The charges for a renewal will be made according to your plan settings.
