We Handle Your Domain Transfer

Why this matters more than it sounds

Lose your website files and you can rebuild. Lose your hosting and you can move. Lose control of your domain and you lose the address every customer, every business card, every sign, and every search result points to.

Recovering a domain from an unresponsive registrant is slow, sometimes impossible, and always happens at the worst time.

What correct ownership looks like

• The registration is in your business name
• The account email is one you control and still check
• You can log in yourself, today, without asking anyone
• Auto-renew is on, with a payment method that won't silently expire
• Contact details on the registration are current

That last one catches people out — expiry warnings go to the registered email, and if nobody reads it, the first sign of trouble is the site going dark. Catching that kind of thing before it becomes a problem is part of ongoing updates and edits.

What a transfer involves

1. Unlock the domain at the current registrar
2. Get the authorization code — a short code proving you're entitled to move it
3. Start the transfer at the new registrar
4. Approve it from the registered email address
5. Wait — transfers have a mandatory holding period

The site stays up the whole time. Handling this is part of the service, but the account it ends up in should still be yours.

Two things worth knowing

Recently registered or recently transferred domains can't move again immediately. There's a lock period. Worth checking before planning around a date.

Privacy protection is worth having. Without it your name, address and phone are in a public database, which is why new domain owners get a wave of spam calls and fake invoices.

Where the domain sits in the setup

The domain is the address; hosting is the space. They're separate services and can live in different places. Keeping both in accounts you control is what makes the site genuinely yours — the same reasoning as owning your source files.
