EDIT: i wrongfully created this topic in the game programing instead of general programming forum. Can a moderator please move it. Hi. As far as i understand the web developement forum was merged into this one so i hope its the appropriate place to ask. I have a shared hosting solution that i use to host my website on at company A. Im renting a dedicated server to host my first person shooters server on at company B. I have installed apache on my dedicated server and i copied my website over to it and the website works if i access it using my dedicated servers static IP address. So now i need to have my domain name point at my dedicated server instead of my shared hosting solution. If i use whois on my domain name it states that it is registered to company A . Is this normal? I understand that theyre managing it for me but since its mine and i pay for it shouldnt my name apear on it?. I want to drop my shared hosting plan at company A but i want to keep my domain name. Should i ask compay A to transfer ownership of the domain to me? or should i ask company A to drop my shared hosting but to keep managing my domain for me and then to point it at my dedicated servers static IP? or should i ask compay A to give "management" of my domain to company B? or should i ask company B to take over management of my domain from company A? or something else? Thnx in Advance!

Yes my shared hosting provider and registrar are the same company and my didicated server is at a different one.

Thnx for clearing it up for me.

Just one last question. Lets say ive now worked with my registrar and my domain name now points at the corect static IP. 4 years down the road my registrar goes bankrupt! what happens to my domain name?
