First let me say there are a lot of different hosting providers available. In this tutorial I will show you how to move your WA domain to GoDaddy hosting.
There are many reasons why someone would want to transfer the domain from WA to another host, but I will not get into the reason, but I only see tutorials and trainings on how to move from another host to WA, so let me fill this hole
And let's get right into it!
Obviously you will need a :
- domain registered at WA
- account registered at GoDaddy (or a hosting provider other than WA - it's the same everywhere, more or less) .Also this tutorial assumess you know how to register an account at GoDaddy(if not, go here ->
https://uk.godaddy.com/help/create-a-godaddy-account-16618
<- than come back)
Let's go to the next page and start the process.

The domain and website are two different things. The domain is at the Registrar. The website is at the host. You can transfer just one, or both of those things between companies. I depends on what your goal is.
Transferring your domain to a new registrar is relatively easy. Just make sure your DNS is set up properly when you transfer, and there should be no downtime for your site, and everything will look the same.
Transferring your website to a new host takes a little more skill and precision!

Thank you!
Yes, I agree. Overall WA hosting really offers everything you need.
But, there are times when you may want to transfer the domain from WA.
Like in my case, I moved the domain from WA to put it to auction and sell it. Because you can't sell domain name while still hosted by WA, so that's one reason.
Another reason could be, maybe you can't afford your monthly membership and want to save your site before it is deleted and you move it to another host.
Or third yet unnamed reason heh
So there are reasons as to why would someone...
Anyway, thank you again
