And that's exactly what I did. Now the only thing I will need to do when the domain transfer occurs is to go in to my domain management at GoDaddy and set up the domain email addresses and the forwarding to my ISP. Again, this is certainly not rocket science, but the service providers leave a

Yeah, I got it sorted out by changing back to the MX server address at 1and1. All seems to be well at this point. The real rub is the proper sequence of what steps to take when transferring an actively hosted domain. The process varies slightly from one provider to another, which is where I g
