Domain Hosting


Registration and Transfer

BestWeb can host your domain, regardless of who you are registered with. However, having your domain registered by register.com, through BestWeb, simplifies the process of hosting with BestWeb.

According to policies set forth by ICANN, a domain cannot be moved to a different registrar until it has been registered for over 60 days.

If you are currently registered with register.com, there is no charge to have your domain transferred to BestWeb. Upon receiving your contract, BestWeb will request, through register.com, that your domain's DNS servers be pointed to BestWeb.

If you are currently registered with a registrar other than register.com, there are two options:
  • For a one-time transfer fee of $10, BestWeb will request to have your domain registration transferred to register.com. Your current registration period will then continue under register.com, along with an additional year. BestWeb will request, through register.com, that your domain's DNS servers be pointed to BestWeb.

  • If you would like to remain registered with your current registrar and do not require assistance in changing your domain's DNS servers to be pointed to BestWeb there is no charge. To do so, our DNS servers are:

    NS1.BESTWEB.NET   209.94.100.100
    NS2.BESTWEB.NET   209.94.100.200

    You can use the following links for information on changing your DNS servers:
