I already have a web site with another provider. How do I use my new domain name with that site? / Do you provide URL forwarding?

We do not offer URL Forwarding to sites that are hosted outside of the AZC Network. URL Forwarding (sometimes called Website Redirection) is when the party who nameserves your domain name "points" your domain name to an existing site that is hosted by a separate provider.

If you already have a web site that is hosted by another provider and would like to have your new domain name configured so that it direct visitors to that site, please contact your current hosting provider and ask them if they will nameserve your domain name and configure it to "point" to your existing site.

You will need to obtain the nameserver information (the names of their nameservers - IP addresses are not necessary) and Technical Contact information (contact name, email, address, phone, etc.) from your new hosting provider. You will also need the registry key we emailed to you. (If you have lost your registry key, please contact billing@azc.com and request that they re-send the registry key to you. Please be sure to include your domain name in the request.)

Please have that registry key handy and go to:
http://www.inww.com/maintenance/gtld/

• Enter your domain name and your registry key
• Click on "Enter Management"
• Click on "Delegation Details"
• Enter your new provider's nameserver information there in the place of AZC's nameserver information
• Go back to the main menu
• This time, click on "Contact Details"
• There, enter the details of your new provider in the "Technical Contact" section, in place of AZC's Domain Name Services information
• Go back to the main menu
• Log out

Please note that, due to internet latency, it can take a few days for the transfer to be propagated (completed) world wide.

Note that many providers of "free" web space do not provide nameserving. If this is the case, you may wish to consider having your site hosted by a provider who will provide nameserver support for your domain name as well as your web site. Our sister site, AZC.COM has several hosting plans available. You may wish to view them; they are posted at http://www.azc.com/htmls/service.html.
