In order for your domain name to resolve to a website, you need a Domain Name System (DNS) server to host it. When you register a domain name with us, we are hosting your domain name on our DNS. One of the free domain registration services that we offer is called Domain Forwarding. With this service, you can register your domain name, and point it to an existing website at a different address. If you plan to host your website with a company other than FastWebServer, you can move your domain name off of our servers to another Internet Service Provider (ISP) or Host provider at any time at no extra charge. To do so, simply login to the Manage Your Domain section, and change the Domain Name Server entries for your domain.
