I need some help with my website! My 2 domain names are still pointing to my old website, and I’m still paying monthly hosting fees there, but I am afraid to screw up when re-directing it to Grow-a-Brain current location. If you are certain you can successfully do it, can you help me cut them off? I’m sure it’s a very simple process, but I don’t want to do it myself. Please email me at realhanan (at) yahoo (dot) com, if you can do it for me. I’ll be glad to pay any market fees for the service.
