This support article details the process to add a hosted domain to your EPHost account. As an existing customer, you may login to your EPhost account to Register a New Domain, Transfer a Domain, add a Parked Domain, add a Sub-Domain or Domain Alias.
Here are some of the options available:
Registration required of a Domain: EPHost will register this domain for you.
Transfer Administration of the Domain: EPHost will transfer "registrar" control of this domain to us.
No registration or transfer required: The domain will be added as a web site and email domain, but will not be registered for you. It is assumed that you have registered the domain elsewhere and will update your name servers with your registrar.
NOTE: Simply logging in to your EPhost account, you can use the 'Domain' option from the menu to get to option you desire.
