Ordering webhosting without transferring a domain
You can order webhosting from Simply.com without transferring your domain – just choose no to domain transfer when ordering; you can always transfer it later.
Normally, we always recommend that our customers transfer their domain to us. It is considerably easier to keep all domains and webhosting plans in the same place, to reduce confusion and administration.
If you still wish to keep your domain with another provider and never transfer it to us, while at the same time having a webhosting plan with us - you can simply choose that you do NOT wish to transfer the domain when ordering via our website.
If you later wish to have the domain transferred to us, you can do this via administration > renew domain in your control panel. Here, you can click on "transfer domain".
