artifactsofmars Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 How does this work? I have a now-defunct web store and what would I do to transfer the domain name from that to a new website if I wanted to? I have never transferred one, but started off fresh each time. Are there companies that do this? I think i have seen ads for this before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flotwig Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Yes. Where do you have the domain registered? Is it with the web store company or with a proper registrar like Namecheap or Gandi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your title is misleading, as I thought you were transferring ownership of the domain. So you have one website, and you want to use the domain for another website? You don't need a company for it all you do is change the DNS The Reverend 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Reverend Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 As the poster above stated, all you have to do is update the Nameservers, it is wonderfully simple in the NameCheap control panel. Who is your domain provider? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnthomas1433 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I actually didnt understand you. It is misleading. Are you trying to transfer a domain name from one web host to another? If then, just contact the web host to where you are transfering. They shall do it for you. If you want to use the domain name for another website, just use a 301 redirect in .htacces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikelouis Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I have no idea how it works. I normally leave it to the hosting companies who will do the whole process for you. All you need to do is pay a small fee for the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
