I own a domain name already, can I use it with your hosting service?

You can use your existing domain name either as the primary domain name for a new site, or as the domain pointer for your existing site. In either case, you will have to update the name server entries for your domain to point to our servers.

To order a new site and use your existing domain as the primary domain name for it, please follow the instructions below:

* Login to your WinHost Control Panel.
* In the navigation menu under WinHost logo click on "Sites" tab
* Click on "Order New Site" button
* Select "I want to use an existing domain that is registered elsewhere" radio button and type your domain name in the text box without www part.
* Hit "Continue >>" button and finish registration process
* When you are done with registering, contact the registrar of your domain name and set its name servers to the following:

  ns1.winhost.com
  ns2.winhost.com
  ns3.winhost.com

Please see this KB article for the details on how you will be billed for the new site. 

If you want to use your existing domain as a domain pointer for your existing site, please see this KB article for details.
