Just transferred hosting to InMotion from Godaddy, changed nameservers but when i go to my domain www.michaelkimelman.com I get an inmotion placeholder and a note saying make sure to replace this page with my own index.htm page. How do I do this? When I originally spoke to the sales rep he told me all I had to do was change the nameservers and it would populate. Thank you.

Hello kimelman,

Thanks for submitting a question about transferred hosting to InMotion from GoDaddy. I regret any misunderstanding that may have taken place, but the website content must be transferred from one host to another. Changing nameservers points the domain to a different location, like the address of a residence or business, but there must be content at the new location in order for a website to display normally.

I suggest pointing the nameservers back to GoDaddy until your site has been transferred. We have a website transfer request you can fill out so our transfer team can help you make the transition.

Best,

Christopher M.
