I’ve recently transferred over to EE from PlusNet and therefore might website domains needed to be transferred over. I’ve registered a domain with Fasthosts and they have sent a new IP address for the domain to be added to the EE server. How do I get this new IP address uploaded?

What EE server? EE do not offer a webhosting service so you will need to host your domain/website somewhere that does.

Domain registration and domain hosting are two distinct services. You pay somebody for registration of the of the domain name every year or two, somebody to look after the DNS records for your domain, and somebody to physically host your website content. These companies are sometimes the same, but they can be different.

At the moment, your domain name still looks to be registered with Plusnet and has not yet transferred to Fasthosts: -

~$ whois editiondb.com
   Domain Name: EDITIONDB.COM
   Registry Domain ID: 64329752_DOMAIN_COM-VRSN
   Registrar WHOIS Server: whois.enom.com
   Registrar URL: http://www.enomdomains.com
   Updated Date: 2026-06-01T07:27:43Z
   Creation Date: 2001-02-25T17:33:25Z
   Registry Expiry Date: 2027-02-25T17:33:25Z
   Registrar: eNom, LLC
   Registrar IANA ID: 48
   Registrar Abuse Contact Email: abuse@enom.com
   Registrar Abuse Contact Phone: +1.4165350123
   Domain Status: clientDeleteProhibited https://icann.org/epp#clientDeleteProhibited
   Domain Status: pendingTransfer https://icann.org/epp#pendingTransfer

The DNS is still being looked after by Plusnet: -

   Name Server: NS1.FORCE9.NET
   Name Server: NS2.FORCE9.NET

And the DNS points to Greenby who are the company that Plusnet have been migrating customer's websites to: -

$ host www.editiondb.com
www.editiondb.com is an alias for homepages.force9.net.
homepages.force9.net is an alias for hp.force9.net.
hp.force9.net is an alias for homepages.force9.greenbysites.com.
homepages.force9.greenbysites.com has address 212.159.8.90

The reason your website cannot be found is entirely a question for Plusnet at this stage.

Domain StatusRegistered And No Website


You sure you have not just bought a domain but not built a website upon it. I have similar & get "404 Not Found" when I try to browse to it.

I think I just have to wait a bit longer for the transfer to take place. This is a website I have managed for several years. I never did get an SSL certificate but am hoping that there’ll be one once it’s hosted by Fasthosts.

Thank you for your comments guys.
