Moving a Domain to Another Account 1/2

It very often happens in the management of domains that a domain needs to be moved from one account to another, for any number of reasons. The Utilities module allows you to do this easily, so long as you are the manager of the account the domain is currently in and have the username of the account it is being moved to. The first step in the process is to click the "move" link in the Utilities module.




On the page you are brought to next you have a box listing the domains you can move, and a textbox to enter the username you are moving the domain into. It is important to realise that only domains which can be moved will show up in this list.

Domains cannot be moved if they are cloned to another domain, have a domain cloned to them (meaning that one domain is copying the settings of the other domain) or if they are on our registry and have the registrar lock enabled. If the domain you are trying to move does not show up in the list, return to the members home page to check the clone link to see if it is cloned and the whois link to check the status of the registrar lock. Both of these links are in the Domain Settings module, to the right of the domain in question, though "whois" will only show up if the domain is registered through us.




The last item on that form is the checkbox asking if you want to maintain the current mail forwarding. Email forwarding is often tied to the email address in the account's member information, so moving it to a new account can sometimes interfere with the arrangements. If you check this box, the system will retain the current mail forwarding after the domain is moved. Once you have everything filled out correctly, click "Next" at the bottom to go to the next step.
