Transferring domains

[artifactsofmars]

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.

Yes. Where do you have the domain registered? Is it with the web store company or with a proper registrar like Namecheap or Gandi?

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

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?

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

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.
