  I have an existing domain hosted by dreamworks. When should I transfer before or after competing the web site?

  Hi @alohasnow, if you’ve already got a live site at Dreamhost, and if you plan on importing from that site, I’d recommend creating a site here and transferring the contents over prior to pointing or transferring the domain here.

  You’ll likely want to pick up the plan you intend to use though so that you can take advantage of its features:

  If you need more help, can you send a link to the existing site so we can make further recommendations?
