Buying a .com domain

[Humbler]

Right now I use ipbfree but im planning on buynig a .com domain soon, but does that mean i also need to find a host for my website or will it already be online?

No when you buy a domain you can change the name servers to direct the domain to a host. I'm not sure IPBfree give you a option to add a domain via name servers do they?

[Humbler]

Yes in the admin cp it is possible to add your domain name there

Then when you purchase a domain from a company, you can change the name servers - On the adminCp does it tell you name servers i.e:



ns1.thehost.com
ns2.thehost.com


If so; when you purchase the domain; find the section corresponding to that domain on changing the name servers; then set the name servers provided by ipbfree; give it a while for the name servers to change from the default then add you're domain via the adminCp on ipbfree.

Enjoy.

You can either use a redirect or a as it says set you're domain CNAME to that address. Either way it's up to you. Good luck.

IPBFree is great. It saves you the time of buying ipboard,installing,downloading it. I can just tell you the cheapest .com seller which is for me is GoDaddy.com

Namecheap is cheaper than GoDaddy. And they can go hell of a lot more cheaper.

just go to ipbfree.com support section and ask them to park the domain for u.
