How would I find that information, Ed ? And will Godaddy or
EasySpace of whoever be likely to assist me in the transfer ? When
you say "get the DNS set up somewhere else", do you mean at the new
host (Godaddy or Easyspace) or is the DNS provider completely
separate from the hosting provider ? As you can tell I am very
much "pas au fait" with these things.
You can have them be the same company as your domain registrar if
they offer DNS service, or they can be different. I use a free
service for DNS (zoneedit.com) because I'm a cheap bastard. ;-) And
I use GoDaddy as my registrar.
