Hi,

Allow me to ask some noob questions: Today I purchased a Google Domains name (paid the price) and also subscribed a WP12 Beginner hosting service on Exabytes.com

May I ask:
1. Do I need to transfer my domain from Google to Exabytes? If yes, I cant transfer within 60 days of purchase. Am I missing anything?
2. Do I need to wait transfer completion only then I can start building my Wordpress blog on Exabytes? I am a complete newbie when it comes to Exabytes/Wordpress toolkit, I cant seem to login my WP login.php because it can't detect the server.

Customer service is replying very slowly and not really helpful, would totally appreciate if anyone can help me out and show me some pointers here.

Thank you! icon_question.gif

No need to transfer the domain, but you probably has to use Exabytes nameservers.

Got it, i've updated their nameservers in my Google Domains, should take ~36 hours to update.

That aside, is there any benefit to transfer my domain from Google to Exabytes? Or no need?

Exabytes is good for MyNIC domains, but for normal domain like .com or .net, better stay with Google. If want to transfer then try porkbun or namesilo.

Ah ok, I am using a ".co" domain, so I guess I will just remain with Google for now if there's no added benefits
