Pre-Purchase Domain Hosting Question

mjroddy Nov 10, 2014 3:13 PM

I've been considering upgrading my CS6 to CC.
One thing I am wondering about is should I change my web hosting too, since that seems to come with Adobe CC. I need to decide in the next 2 weeks, since this is when I'm due for renual on my domain name and hosting.

My questions are hopefully simple:

Does Adobe allow me to bring over my already-owned domain name (it's just my surname) and, does Adobe take care of all the emails addresses associated with that domain name?

In other words, I have, "Video@domainname.com" "mjr@domainname," "info@domainname," and about 3 others. Do I still need a domain hosting service for this?

Thanks very much!

Are you talking about Business Catalyst hosting? That is closer to a CRM and you may not be able to bring your site as is over to BC for hosting. So you may want to read up on that:

http://businesscatalyst.com

As for the email address, that would depend. If you are using a 3rd party mail provider then your MX record would remain the same and email would not be affected. If the emails are hosted with another provider (i.e.: your current web host), then you would need to migrate the mailboxes over and setup the addresses on the new account. The BC team would be best suited to help answer and outline that sort of process for you.

Preran can you move this post to the BC forum for assistance?

With the Creative Cloud hosting yes you can bring your own domain name over. No issue there.

The CC hosting does not have email associated with it. You can use an external email provider OR upgrade to the next level plan that does include email.

Read up on BC before you move your site over is your best bet.
