Where should you change a record for your website?
The nameservers tell the internet which provider publishes the records for your domain. If they point to Hover, edit records there. If they point to your host or another DNS provider, edit them in that account even when Hover bills you for the name.
What will the name cost to keep?
Hover lists annual US-dollar prices by extension for registration, renewal and transfer. Open the renewal column for the name you want. Hover says most inbound transfers add a paid year to the remaining term, with exceptions for some extensions. Check the exact name before buying or moving it.
What could stop working when you leave Hover?
If you use Hover nameservers, prepare your DNS records with the replacement DNS provider before transferring away. Save a copy of the website and mail records. A registration transfer moves control of the name. The new DNS provider still needs the records people use.
Which provider would you ask to change the website?
Draw a made-up domain registered at Hover with nameservers from a different provider.
