Transfering a Website to a new Owner

Transfering a website from your account and all related domain names to a new owners account.

1. Login to your CMS

2. If you have more than one website under the account make sure you are working on the correct site.

3. Hover over your account name located at the Top-right of the CMS. From the dropdown options presented, Select “Account Options”

4. From the options presented on the accounts screen select “Transfer this web site to a new owner”

5. Enter the New Owners Details.
   ( This process will create a new account on our system under the new owners name using these contact details and transfer the website from your account to theirs)

6. Tick the relevant boxes under options to either retain your admin rights, email payment instructions relating to the site to the new owner, or to send new passwords and login instructions to them after the transfer

Once completed and actioned a new account is created under the new owners contact details and the website and related domains are then transferred into it. 

Unless you have ticked the option boxes to keep admin access you no longer can make any changes to the site so it is important to apply any contact details and domain registration changes before the transfer is initiated.
Once transferred the new owners are now responsible for hosting charges and any domain renewals in the future.
