[Nfb-web] Nfb-web Digest, Vol 86, Issue 5

[Barrie Campbell]

Peter,

You seem a bit confused as to what you need changed.

The domain servers on record with nameregistrars.net are the NFB.net
servers. The link from NFB.net to the affiliate page are what you need
to change, specifically, the DNS mapping to the new server.
Alternatively, you can change the content of the old site to send
users to the new site.

You will still want to get in to your domain account, but you don't
need to change anything with nameregistrars.net to move to the new
site.

If you could give us more info on the old site URL and the new site
URL we could be more detailed in our help.

Barrie Campbell
