Why do I have to transfer my domain, and what does it
mean?
Firstly,
a basic explanation of the domain name system (this isn't entirely
accurate but for all intents and purposes it will help you're
understanding of what is happening). What happens when you type
in an address into your browser is essentially the Internic
domain database is checked to find the name servers for that
domain. Once your browser knows the name servers is contacts
them and wants to know the specific address of the computer
that your website is located on. Once it has that, it then goes
to that computer and retrieves your site. When you sign up with
a hosting provider you have the Internic domain database changed
to that it points to your new hosting providers name servers.
Your hosting provider will setup their name servers to accept
your domain and point it to the right computer (the one that
will have your website actually on it).
There
are a lot of domain registrars around. Domain registrars are
the companies who actually modify the domain database for you,
you pay them for rights to a domain, and they update the domain
database when you tell them where you want it to point. As there
are now lots of domain registrars and more popping up all the
time, it is impossible for us to list explicit instructions
on changing the name servers associated with your domain for
all of them. We've tried to document a few of the more common
ones, however, they may change without our knowledge. The job
of transferring your domain is essentially up to you, as we
don't actually have any power to transfer the domain, for authorisation
reasons only the owner and certain contacts can change details,
however, we are willing to give you help when you have specific
questions. If you need help, send your specific question to
your representative and they will try to help you out. A handy
tool is called 'whois'. This checks every domain registered
and tells you what it's name servers are currently set to. Click

Please
also remember that after you've changed it, it can take up to
2-3 days to propogate throughout the world, meaning, the change
may not be visible for up to 2 days (it could be longer if you
are behind a firewall or proxy).
