Yes! You can start browsing your plan features and, if you have a Web Hosting or Merchant Solutions plan, even start setting up your website when your domain is pending with a temporary address we'll provide.
Pending simply means that your domain is not yet active across the Internet or, when you elect to transfer your domain to Turbify, it is not active with your plan yet.
We set up a temporary web address that you can use until your transfer is complete and your domain becomes active with your plan. The temporary address will look something like this:
https://cpanel501.turbify.biz/~nlbep4zxeug8oxxx/
Note: You can also use the URL format to browse subfolders.
Find your temporary web address
- Sign in to your My Services page.
- Click the Web Hosting link.
- Copy the text under Current User and add it to the end of the web address as in the example above. Note: Add your current user text after the ~ symbol.
- Click the Server Information link.
- Copy the Server Name (cPanelXXX) and add it to the beginning of the web address as in the example above. Note: Replace XXX with your server number.
After you transfer your domain, you'll be able to use your own domain name with your plan instead of this temporary web address.
Can't wait?
Most domain transfers take only a few days, but if you have had to change your WHOIS information, or you transferred your domain recently, for example, you may need to wait a little longer to complete the transfer.
If you find that your transfer is taking too long, you can redelegate your domain name while you're waiting. Redelegating means that you'll simply tell your current registrar to redirect your domain name to point to Turbify. This process will allow you to use your domain name with your plan, though you'll continue to manage your domain and pay any renewal fees with your current registrar. Learn how to redelegate.
