How to Initiate a Domain Transfer From Third Generation
Review our knowledgebase article for initiating your domain transfer - https://support.thirdhosting.com/index.php?rp=/knowledgebase/32/Transferring-Your-Domain.html
How Can I Continue to Use My Domain While My Services Are Still at Third Generation
If you wish to maintain your domain functionality while preparing to migrate other services, you can retain the current Third Generation name servers. Ensure that your domain’s Name Servers remain set to NS1.THIRDHOSTING.COM and NS2.THIRDHOSTING.COM in your domain registrar’s control panel. By keeping these name servers unchanged, your website, email, and other services hosted through Third Generation will continue to operate normally until your final service date. This approach allows you to plan your migration at your own pace without disrupting access to your domain. Once you have successfully migrated your date to your new hosting provider, you can update your domain's name servers to your new provider's DNS servers for seamless transition.
