      What is a domain transfer?

      A domain transfer is the process of changing the registered ownership of a domain name from one person or organisation to another. This can be useful if you want to change who is in control of your website’s address, or if you want to move your website to a different hosting provider. The process of transferring a domain typically involves several steps, including obtaining authorisation from the current owner, providing the necessary contact information for the new owner, and paying any applicable fees. It’s important to note that transferring a domain can take some time to complete, and it may also result in the loss of any website or email services that are associated with the domain.

      Here’s some useful tips about domain transfers

      1. Research the new registrar: Before initiating a domain transfer, make sure to do your research and find a reputable registrar with good customer service and reasonable pricing. Check reviews and ratings online to get an idea of their reputation.
      2. Verify eligibility: Make sure that your domain name is eligible for transfer. As mentioned earlier, some domain names may not be transferable if they were recently registered or are in a locked status.
      3. Obtain authorisation code: Request an authorisation code from your current registrar, also known as an EPP code or transfer code. This code is necessary to initiate the transfer process with the new registrar.
      4. Initiate transfer: Once you have the authorisation code, initiate the transfer process with the new registrar. You will need to provide the authorisation code, as well as your contact information and payment for any applicable fees.
      1. Confirm transfer completion: Once the transfer is initiated, the new registrar will communicate with the old registrar to complete the transfer. The process can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the registrars involved. Once the transfer is complete, confirm that the domain is now registered with the new registrar.
      2. Verify website and email settings: After the transfer is complete, you may need to update your website and email settings to ensure they continue to function properly. Check with your new registrar or website host if you are unsure of how to make these updates.
      3. Monitor for issues: Keep an eye on your website and email services for any issues that may arise after the transfer. If you notice any problems, contact your new registrar for assistance.

      What is a web host transfer?

      All websites are stored on a server, a server which is hosting your website, otherwise known as a web host.  Your website would normally stay on the same server, but under some circumstances you may want to move your website to a new web host.  Not all web hosts are the same, so you first need to make sure the new web host is compatible for moving your website.

      Here’s some useful tips about web host transferring

      1. Choose a reputable web host: Before choosing a new web host, do some research and make sure they have a good reputation. Read reviews from other users and check their uptime guarantee to make sure your website will be available to your visitors.
      2. Backup your website: Before you transfer your website, it’s important to make a backup of your website’s files and databases. This ensures that if anything goes wrong during the transfer, you’ll have a copy of your website that you can restore.
      3. Check for compatibility: Make sure the new web host supports the same technology and software that your website currently uses. For example, if your website is built on WordPress, make sure the new web host supports WordPress and its associated plugins.
      4. Plan ahead for downtime: Depending on the size and complexity of your website, transferring it to a new web host can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Plan ahead for any potential downtime by letting your visitors know that your website will be temporarily unavailable.
      1. Test your website after the transfer: Once your website has been transferred to the new web host, make sure to test it thoroughly to ensure everything is working as it should be. Check for broken links, missing images, and any other issues that may have arisen during the transfer.
      2. Update your DNS settings: After your website has been transferred to the new web host, you’ll need to update your domain’s DNS settings to point to the new web host’s servers. This ensures that visitors can find your website at its new location.
      3. Monitor your website’s performance: After the transfer, keep an eye on your website’s performance to ensure it’s running smoothly. If you notice any issues, reach out to your web host for assistance.
