Why do I need to transfer in my domain name?
To keep our prices down and to easily solve any problems customers may have, it is simply easier to manage both the domain name and hosting in one place. It is often quite a lot of hassle to get a global domain name transferred to us because some registrars are quite troublesome in letting domains go, but by having both domain name registration and web hosting in one place, any problems can easily be solved without having to work with other registrars' systems. One common problem that customers have hosting in one place and registering a domain name in another, is that their website and email stops working because they failed to renew their domain name. This does not happen with us, because we manage both hosting and domain name renewals.
