need email or web-hosting from us, this is the service for you. You are likely running
your own running mail or web servers and do not want to handle running your own DNS
server. To order this solution, please visit this site

Purchasing a Domain from Speakeasy
Interested in getting the yourdomain.com of your dreams? Speakeasy is in the process
of creating a tool that will allow you to purchase the domain name of your choosing from
our MySpeakeasy page. Until then, you can contact us by submitting a request to the
Domains

MySpeakeasy). Provide them with the domain name of your choosing when submitting
the request.
Additionally, you can contact our Sales department at (800) 556-5829, option 1, and add
a new domain name and hosting package to your account.
Transferring your Domain to Speakeasy
If you are interested in our Full Web and Email hosting packages, or our Mail Only
hosting packages, you will need to initiate a transfer of your existing domain name from
your current host to Speakeasy before we can provide service. There are essentially two
steps involved when transferring your domain from another hosting company to
Speakeasy. Careful attention must be paid to this, as both steps must be correctly
completed before your Speakeasy hosting service will be operational.
Step 1: Transfer your domain with your Registrar
If your domain is already registered, you will need to change your domain registration to
point the domain towards Speakeasy's NameServers. This step is very important, as
your hosting service with Speakeasy will not work until the records at your Registrar
have been updated to reflect Speakeasy's NameServer information. Since Speakeasy is
not authoritative on your domain, we are not able to perform this step for you. Only the
registered owner of a domain can update the registration information. Most Registrars
