I have two domain names (www.abc.com
and www.xyz.com
) which are hosted using say a company called Old-Host. Now, the hosting plan has expired and they have taken down all data residing in their servers without giving me enough time to get back to them. As a result only the domain names are active (abc.com
and xyz.com
), however data is lost and the site does not load.
I researched and found this new hosting company, lets call NewHost to be appropriate and they allow multiple domains also.
My question is, should I transfer those old two domains (abc.com
and xyz.com
) over to the new hosting company NewHost, or can I still let those old domain names reside with OldHost and have my data in NewHost refer to those domain names?
Example, I just sign up only for hosting space at NewHost (no domain name purchased), and I configure such that when I enter www.abc.com
(which was registered by OldHost) the data is collected from NewHost? Is such a configuration possible, or should I have domain name transfer effected for this to happen?
