If you have a domain name that is already registered, you can either transfer control and billing for your domain to Uggle Internet, or update the DNS settings for your domain (NS1.UGGLE.NET & NS2.UGGLE.NET).
Updating the DNS settings for your domain name can be done via your registrar. For DNS updates, you will continue to be billed via your current registrar.
