A domain pointer is when you have us setup a 2nd domain of yours to point to a subdirectory of your account so it will load a different site from the main domain on your account.

Types:

Domain Pointer -> Main Domain
This is when we point your 2nd domain to your main domain.

Can I transfer existing domain name to you?
Yes, just be sure to specify that you are requesting a transfer and NOT a new domain. You should keep the service with your current provider while waiting for InterNIC to complete the transfer process. We will provide you with a temporary URL address so you can mirror the site on our server. All email and web pages will still be accessed from your current site. When InterNIC announces the completion of the transfer there is a 48-72 hour propagation period where visitors could go to either site. At the end of the 72 hours you should contact your previous host to have them delete the old domain from their records and update their DNS record. If you use this same provider for your Internet access you will not be able to access your domain site until they update their DNS.
