Website & Domain Transfer

The foundation of every digital handover. We transfer domain ownership, DNS records, hosting access, CMS credentials, and SSL certificates — keeping your website live throughout the process.

Why Website & Domain Transfer Goes Wrong

Domain transfers are deceptively simple in theory and surprisingly fragile in practice. The typical failure modes: domain transferred before the new hosting is ready, causing hours of downtime. DNS propagation not accounted for, leaving emails bouncing. CMS login credentials not passed over, leaving the buyer locked out of their own website. SSL certificate expired because it was tied to the old hosting account.

These aren't edge cases — they happen on almost every DIY handover we've been brought in to clean up after the fact. The fix is always more expensive and more disruptive than doing it right the first time.

We've transferred hundreds of websites and domains across every major registrar and hosting platform. We know the sequence, the gotchas, and the contingency steps when a platform throws up complications.

The Transfer Process

1

Audit All Domain & Hosting Assets

We map every domain (including redirects and old domains), hosting accounts, email configurations, and SSL setups associated with the business.

2

Confirm New Hosting Is Ready

Before touching the domain, we confirm the buyer has hosting in place and DNS is configured correctly. Nothing moves until the destination is ready.

3

Lower TTL Values

We reduce DNS TTL values days before the transfer so propagation completes faster once the domain moves. This minimises any window of downtime.

4

Initiate Domain Transfer

Domain transfer initiated via the registrar. We manage both the sending and receiving side, handling authorisation codes and approval emails.

5

Verify & Hand Over CMS Access

Once the domain is confirmed in the new registrar, we transfer CMS credentials, verify buyer login, and remove all old admin access.
