I have some domains registered via http://www.ukfsn.org/extras/ (it's ukfsn reselling a US domain registry) and now I want to host the actual sites with another US company where we have isbd.biz registered and hosted.
To do this properly do I need to transfer the domains the to registrar that hosts isbd.biz? I know I can forward from the existing host but I believe that does have some down sides to it.
No, you shouldn't need to transfer the domain. Your domain registration points to a DNS server or two. This then will direct look ups for things like www.yourdomain.com to a webserver, and the webserver needs to be configured to differentiate between www.yourdomain.com and www.somebodyelsesdomain.com.
Thus you need to find out which of ukfsn or isbd is hosting, or will host, the DNS for your domain.
Good luck! Tim.
