If the domain name you wish to use is currently with 1&1, then you have two options:
If you prefer to continue to manage the domain name using Network Solutions and still use our services, then go to 1&1 and update its nameservers.
If you prefer to manage it all in SiteControl alongside the other services you're already using, then transfer the domain name registration from 1&1 to us.
