    Hello

    I purchased a domain with Irish Domains and purchased domain only as I do not have a website set up yet. I just wanted to set up email first but it doesn't look like I can do this with them because I purchased domain only.

    Can I transfer my domain to someone else and then add in the email or do I just need to u my subscription with Irish Domains.

    Any tips please !!!

    You won't have email for your domain until you pay a hosting provider for a basic package.

    You could transfer the domain to any provider you like and pay them for the service, but Irish Domains have a basic package for less than a fiver a month and I'm not sure it gets any cheaper.

    Hi Dades

    Thank you for the reply.

    I had purchased the domain from Irish Domains, I went back in last night and purchased email hosting.

    Now my issue is how to link the two because when I go to set up my email address is says no domain name is linked to the subscription :(.

    Any ideas of what I do next would be great, thank you :D

    Why not give them a ring and ask them to help you out? The support number is on their website and I am sure they will be happy do help you. After all, you are a paying customer.

    It wasn't as easy as expected! We had to hosted with host gator, at least they have an online chat.
    Thanks for the tips!
