You have just purchased a Green
Geeks account and you already own your domain name. For the sake of
this article, this domain you already own can be your primary domain
name or an additional (Add-On) domain for your account.
In order for that domain name to be
connected to the place on the Green Geeks servers where your web site
files reside those domains must be pointed to our Name Servers (aka
DNS). The Green Geeks (DNS) Name Server settings are:
Primary - NS1.GREENGEEKS.COM
Secondary - NS2.GREENGEEKS.COM
**The Name Server (DNS) settings are
essentially the life line between your domain in cyber space and the
web site files you create and update which reside on our servers. If
you have posted web site files on our servers and you point your domain
name to our servers through the (DNS) Name Servers then your web site
will be visible when you type in your domain online.**
From here you have 2 options, you can transfer the domain name to our registrar.
1. Transferring your domain name to
Green Geeks can take a couple of days and after you do so we will
update your name server settings so that they point to the Green Geeks
Name Servers. Also when you transfer your domain name to us we will
renew your domain name each year, if this is your account's primary
domain the renewal will be free (as per our Free Domain For Life offer). Here are the instructions for transferring primary domains to us:

If the domain name you want to transfer is an additional domain name (not the primary domain name on your account) you will need to create a Green Geeks Domains account and have it transferred to that account, the FAQ below will tell you how to do this.
