Fantastico Webhosting

One of the biggest problems in transferring a domain from a previous host is the amount of work involved. If this is your first time transferring a domain this can be nerve wracking. Even experienced webmasters get the jitters when thinking about all the things can go wrong when transferring:

There are webhosts that will transfer primary domains free of charge to new accounts/clients up to 30 days after signup. If you have an add-on domain a custom price quote may be needed.

There can be multiple reasons that you may want to block an IP address. But two of the main reasons webmasters block IP’s from accessing their domain is spam and excessive use of bandwidth.

Depending on your webhosting provider bandwidth can be expensive or limited. If your webhosting budget is small, curtailing unnecessary bandwidth is important and will help cut down on expenses.
