  • Why can't I register my domain name?

    If you haven't done so already, please make sure the domain name is available. Please go to...

    betterwhois.com
    http://www.betterwhois.com/

    Please be sure that your Order Number is correct. Check to see that there is no extra spaces preceding or following the order number entry.

    SBI! will register the more popular/standard domain name extensions -- ie., .com., org. or .net.

    Please try again by following these steps...

    1) Open Manager > Add Domain > enter order number > Add Domain Now > select 'new' and okay to proceed.

    2) If you cannot access the 'Set Me Up' URL using the Manager, access the 'register now' link that was provided inyour SBI! order confirmation e-mail ("Get Ready for Site Build It!" was the subject of that e-mail.)

    3) If you fail at any point in the above instructions, please e-mail support@sitesell.com and explain exactly where you fail, what you were doing at that moment, and exactly what error message you receive. Be sure to include your order number and the domain name you are trying to register.

  • Can I transfer a domain that I already own?

    To use SBI!, your domain MUST be hosted with SBI!. If you are sure you want to use a previously registered domain name to build a site with SBI!, it will need to be transferred.

    Please refer to the original order confirmation e-mail you received that has the subject line, "Get Ready for Site Build It!" and read specifically the section on Ken's warnings not to transfer...

    "P.P.S. DO YOU WANT TO *TRANSFER* A DOMAIN THAT YOU ALREADY OWN?"

    If you're still certain that this is what you want to do (use a domain for your SBI! site that was registered elsewhere) then do as Ken states in the following section of the e-mail... "P.P.P.S. If, for some reason, you want to get off the yellow brick road and register a NEW domain name right NOW, without doing Action Guide's first 5 DAYS..."

    Failure to transfer the domain as indicated will result in the inability to build the site in SBI!.

    The problems with transfers include but are not limited to the following three issues...

    1) the domain is not in good standing with the current Web host company and/or Registrar (i.e., past due on payment, etc.)

    2) the e-mail address used to register the domain originally is no longer active. (When the transfer process begins an e-mail is sent to the e-mail address connected to the original domain registration. If you no longer check that e-mail address, you will not get the instructions, and you will not be able to process the steps required by you. As a result, the transfer will fail.)

    3) If the domain is less than 60 days old from original registrar, it cannot be transferred.

    In the end, the transfer option is there and it's up to you.

  • Can I change my domain name?

    We do accommodate domain name change requests if the existing domain name is less than 1 year old.

    There is a charge of CAD$50 for the manual processing of domain name replacements.

    If you do decide to change your domain name, please do the following...

    1) Please contact SiteSell Support at, https://support.sitesell.com/contact-support.html and provide the following information,

    o Explain that you would like to have us process a "domain name change."

    o Provide the original SBI! order number as well as the domain name you no longer want.

    o Provide full mailing address, phone number and e-mail address. (This information should match that held by your credit card company)...

    First Name
    Last Name
    email address

    Orig Order#:
    Orig. Domain Name:

    ****************************************************
    DO NOT PROVIDE YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBER IN THE E-MAIL.
    ****************************************************

    2) After you send the e-mail to support, we will provide you further instructions on how to proceed with the replacement.

    ********* Please note *********

    1) that a domain name replacement is not simply a change of the domain name on your existing website. Once the remplacement has been processed, your original SBI! order/domain will be deactivated. You will need to register a NEW domain and beging building a NEW site starting with Look and feel, then home page etc.

    2) You may only process one domain name change per ORIGINAL Order.

    3) Domain name changes will not be processed on any order that has a domain that has been registered for over 1 year.

    1) Open Manager > Add Domain > enter order number > Add Domain Now > select 'new' and okay to proceed.

    2) Your registered domain name will add itself to your Manager.

    3) You will be asked if you would like to transfer the data from temporary.com's domain to newly added domain. Be sure to select 'yes'(you will not have the chance again). This will import all the data from temporary.com to new domain's Master Keyword List.

  • How many domains can I register with my SBI!?

    Each order of SBI! includes one domain and everything needed to plan, build, manage your SBI! Web site... AND it includes 1 full year of Web Hosting too!.

  • Can I use my SBI! domain name on another server?

    The domain that you have registered does belong to you... you can move the domain to any server but if you choose to do that, you can no longer use the SBI! system and tools for that domain.

    If you still wish to transfer your domain:
    Please follow these steps...

    1. Get the username and password from the catch-all instructions that was emailed to you.

    2. Go to https://build.sitesell.com/manage.html and use the manage interface to transfer your domain.

    If you didn't save this email, please let us know and we'll send the username and password. Contact SiteSell Support at, http://support.sites ell.com/contact-support.html and request your Catchall email be reset. Include your order # and domain name.

  • What happens to my renewal if I transfer an existing domain name to SBI!?

    When you transfer a existing domain to SBI!, that domain is automatically renewed for 1 year.

    For example...

    If someone had 9 months left on their domain before transferring to SBI!, they would have an additional 12 months added to it once the transfer is completed.

    This ensures that the domain will never expire before SBI! usage is up.
