Hosting Existing Domains

Choose this option to host a domain registered outside Parallels H-Sphere if you'd:

• prefer to contact the registrar personally rather than apply changes automatically;
• like to register a non-standard or regional domain, which can't be registered automatically (e.g. your_domain.de);
• 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.

Following the registration 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 control panel, your site will be available by the instant domain alias.

Domain registration is a standard procedure. First, you purchase a domain name from a domain registration company. Second, you register this domain name with your web hosting provider and get your new IP address. It is only then that your site becomes available to all Internet community. This is true for both standard and nonstandard domains. In case of standard domain names, however, the registration process is automated.
