  • You will see a form with few blank fields and an option list. We will create juts 1 CNAME record but 4 A Records.

For creating CNAME do this:

  1. Inside Name write www  which will be automatically replaced with your Domain URL
  2. Inside TTL write 14400
  3. Set Type to CNAME
  4. Inside address write ghs.google.com
  5. Click on Add Record
  6. Done!

For Creating A Record do this:

  1. Inside Name enter your naked domain name such as mybloggertricks.com without the www
  2. Inside TTL write 14400
  3. Set Type to A
  4. Inside address write this I.P address 216.239.32.21
  5. Click Add Record

Repeat the process  three times and in step#3 enter for the following I.P addresses respectively:

216.239.34.21
216.239.36.21
216.239.38.21

 

      6.   Done!

Unlock The Domain

Now you can confidently fill up the form on [a href="https://secure.hostgator.com/freedomaintransfer.php" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"]HostGator Domain Transfer[/a] Page.

Domain Transfer form

Your primary HostGator Domain is the Domain address you wish to transfer i.e. Your Website URL.

Please keep checking your Inbox for any Email you may receive. Your Registrar or HostGator can contact you to verify that you are the real owner of the Domain.

How Long will it take? Will it effect your traffic?

It will take at most a week. So be patient. Your traffic will not be disturbed because it can continue as normal. Whatever transfer settings that may occur at the background wont effect your incoming traffic in any way. Our Blog went down for 24 hours because we had forgotten setting the DNS settings which I have now clearly explained under Name Servers headline so that your transfer may occur as smoothly as possible. During this time keep bugging the agents and enquire about the status of the Transfer. They never mind :>

Enjoy a Free One Year Domain Hosting

Upon the transfer HostGator automatically renews your domain for 1 additional year as a welcome gift from them. This is one reason why I call them crazy!

Need Help?

Do let me know if you needed any consultancy or free help. You are most welcomed to bug me with as many questions as possible. Would be a pleasure to help you with a safe and secure transfer. Peace and blessings pals. :)
