 How do I move a parked domain onto a hosting account ?
Article

When a domain name is registered at the same time as a web hosting account is purchased, the domain will be automatically attached to the hosting and will work immediately. Similiarly, if you upgrade a the domain parking package to a web hosting account, the domain name will be attached to the hosting and will work after a short period of time.

If you purchase a web hosting package separately, then it will not be immediately attached to any domains on your account until you specifically set this up, as this may or may not have been your intention. To switch a parked domain onto your new hosting account do the following ...

  • Log on to your control panel (https://cp.irishdomains.com)
  • Click Billing (if not already selected)
  • Click MyDomains to see a list of your domain names
  • Click on the domain name itself (not on Manage DNS)
  • Click Switch Parent Subscription 
  • Select the Parent Subscription (hosting account) to attach domain to
  • Click Choose Parent Subscription button.

    At this point the domain will be moved onto the new hosting subscription. This may not take visible effect for a few hours as DNS changes propagate. Depending on the configuration of the new subscription the domain may be automatically configured for email (Qmail) or set up for web hosting on the new account. Previous custom DNS records for the domain may be removed. You can log adjust email or hosting services and DNS as required....

  • Log on to your control panel (https://cp.irishdomains.com)
  • Click Select Subscription to list hosting/parking subscriptions
  • Click Select on the Hosting account you attached the domain to (you may wish to mark this as default)
  • Click Hosting > Domain Overview > Domain Administration to see domains on this account.
  • Click on the domain name to check
  • Verify that Web hosting, Forwarding Qmail, etc are as you wish
