Using A Domain You Already Own
If you already own a domain name that is registered elsewhere, you can still use it with your Reset account. You will just need to change your domain's settings to point to Reset IT. To do that, contact your registrar or log in to your account with your current registrar and change the name servers to:
Ns3.trinitygsp.com
Ns4.trinitygsp.com
This tells your registrar that Reset is now the hosting provider. It does not move website content, that is something you'll do later in your control panel. Once that has been done, it will take every host and internet service provider between 4 to 48 hours to update their records to associate our name servers with your domain. This is called DNS propagation.
Once a domain has been pointed here (by changing the name servers), there are two ways you can use the domain on your account. You can transfer the domain's registration to your Bluehost account, or you can just assign the domain name to your account without transferring the registration.
Domain names are typically renewed once a year and sometimes for multiple years at a time. It can be easy to lose track of where your domains are registered when it is time for renewal, especially if your domain and hosting are in separate places. And keep in mind, you need both a hosting provider and a domain registrar to have an active website and working email. For this reason, many of our customers like to transfer domains to their Reset account to keep things simple. Here you can keep everything on one bill, purchase domains for multiple years, and set up your domains and hosting to automatically renew. No need to worry about a lapse in service or worse, losing your domain registration altogether.
