I already have a domain name hosted elsewhere. How can I transfer it to my Dad's Hosting plan?

When ordering your plan, select the 'I have a domain and will update my nameservers' option on the order form, and enter the domain name you will use on the 2nd page. You must then ask the people you registered the domain with in the first place to point the domain to our names servers:

ns1.dadshosting.com

ns2.dadshosting.com

This process can take some time, namely the time it takes your registrar to update it, plus 24-48 hours on average to propogate round the world's DNS servers (see 'Why doesn't my domain work straight away?)
