About LinkBacksI recently created an account with x10 hosting, and moved my website to it. Now how do I transfer my domain name from the old site to the new one? My previous host was Google Apps, and the name is registered through GoDaddy.

Please read the following wiki article. I recommend you look at the introduction paragraph and the Parked Domains paragraph:
http://x10hosting.com/wiki/Domain
Basically, you will need to change your GoDaddy settings to point to our nameservers: ns1.x10hosting.com AND ns2.x10hosting.com
Then you will need to login to your cPanel and click on 'Parked Domains'. Enter your domain in the text box, click Add Domain, and wait a few hours for it to process.

Thanks! I'm modifying the main domain, not a parked one, BTW. Waiting for it to go through...

Ummm, it's been at "Process wait" for several hours, and the old site is now down. Help!

Your welcomeIt can take up to 48 hours for the domain to finish processing.

Wait, When the nameserver change goes through at goDaddy, do I still have to wait for the x10 main domain change to get approved?

change the nameserver at your domain control panel.
the nameservers that you have to use are
ns1.x10hosting.com
ns2.x10hosting.com
then login to your x10hosting account panel at
http://x10hosting.com/control
and change your main domain.
It can take upto 48 hours for your domain to transfer. Your both the sites (new and old) may go offline for sometime.

I'd suggest adding your website to your x10hosting account first, waiting for the change to go through (getting confirmation from the system) and then pointing your domain to our nameservers in GoDaddy's control panel.

It seems our processing queue is a bit slow, so I would suggest waiting until it resumes before shifting the website here.

Resume? It's stopped? Would have been nice to know before my site went down for an entire day. When will it Resume?
