How do I switch to QiSites?
If you already have a website, follow these steps to switch from your current website provider.
When will my website be ready?

Can I keep my site private until I'm ready to go live?
Yes, you can choose to place your website in password protected mode. Your visitors will see a "Coming Soon" message.

What domain name should I choose?
Your domain name is an important decision, so we have some advice.

Yes, you can transfer your domain away to another provider.
What if I already have a domain name?
Great, you'll just need to connect your domain by connecting to our nameservers. We can help you!
Can I transfer a domain registration to QiSites?
You don't need to transfer your registration in order to host a website on our platform, but if you would like to transfer your registration we can accept inbound transfers of .com, .net, .org and .info domains.
