You have 3 options regarding your domain management.

If you don't have a domain name: Registering a New Domain

We will register one domain name for you free of charge as part of our Practice Panda Service. If you decide to transfer your domain out of Practice Panda, there is a one-time, $59 fee to cover the administrative costs of the transfer out.

If you choose to have Practice Panda administer your domain name you receive the following benefits:

  • 10, 20, or 30 (varies by plan) free email accounts of your choosing (Forwarding, POP or IMAP)

  • Free domain technical support

  • Free domain name renewal for as long as you keep your Practice Panda website

OR 

If you have a domain name: Self-Administering Domains (easiest)

You can point your domain name to your Practice Panda content by making one change to the A Record (address) of your Domain Name Settings (DNS).   If you do not know how to access your DNS records, you will need to contact your current registrar to ask how you access the DNS for your domain name. If you choose to keep your domain name at your current registrar any domain related technical issues and yearly renewal fees will need to be addressed by your current registrar. Depending on your Internet Service Provider (ISP) you may not see any changes for up to 24 hours.

OR

Transferring your Domain into Practice Panda (takes 5-7 days)

If you decide to transfer your domain out of Practice Panda there is a one-time, $59 fee to cover the administrative costs of the transfer out. Domain transfers can take up to 7 days to be fully processed by any domain registrars.
