Domain Changes

Can I change my domain name? (You buy it for me).

Yes, absolutely. If you would like us to buy your new domain for you, there may be a domain change fee involved, depending on whether or not we have already purchased a domain for you). Please contact us at support@otherpeoplespixels.com for more detailed instructions on how to complete this option.

Please keep in mind a few things:

  • If you have an OPP-run email inbox, its contents CANNOT be transferred over from the old domain name. If you decide to change to a new domain, your inbox will start over from scratch. Make sure to get any important info (emails and contacts) from the old mailbox before having us switch.
  • If we purchased your original domain for you, please let us know if you would like us to transfer the original/old domain into your name and management, so that web traffic and email from the old domain can continue to be forwarded to you until the old domain's natural expiration date. If you'd like the forward to continue past that date, you will have to take control of the domain so that you can remain in control of the domain registration.
  • If you decide you do want to change your domain, you can look up available domains at NameCheap. There is a fee for us to purchase a new domain for you if we have already purchased a domain for you in the past.

You can get in touch with us at support@otherpeoplespixels.com for a link to pay the fee, and to notify us of the new domain you'd like to use.

Can I change my domain name? (I'll buy it for myself).

Sure! You can buy the domain of your choice, from the registrar of your choice. Just as an FYI, domains should not cost more than $10-15 a year. Remember that hosting costs are included in your OPP flat fee, so you do not need to purchase hosting from anyone else.

Please keep a few things in mind:

  • If you have an OPP-run email inbox, its contents CANNOT be transferred over from the old domain name. If you decide to change to a new domain, your inbox will start over from scratch. Make sure to get any important info (emails and contacts) from the old mailbox before having us switch.
  • If we purchased your original domain for you, please let us know if you would like us to transfer the original/old domain into your name and management, so that web traffic and email from the old domain can continue to be forwarded to you until the old domain's natural expiration date. If you'd like the forward to continue past that date, you will have to take control of the domain so that you can remain in control of the domain registration.

Once you have purchased the domain, and changed the nameservers to be:

ns1.deeperbydesign.com
ns2.deeperbydesign.com

Send us an email at support@otherpeoplespixels.com, let us know what your new URL is, and we can help with the rest.
