Additional Information

Name server updates typically take 12 to 24 hours, though in some cases the propagation of the change can take up to 72 hours. Site users may report problems accessing your site at HostBuddy.com during this time. Until propagation is complete, requests to your domain name may point to your previous host.

If do not remember your Register.com username and password, go to http://www.register.com/support/account/password.rcmx The password will be sent to the administrative contact for the domain. If you are not the administrative contact, you will have to contact Register.com toll free in the U.S. and Canada at (800) 899-9724. Outside the U.S. and Canada, phone +1 (902) 749-2701.
