Thanks for your tutorial. I would like to ask after I transfer my domain to the new host, does the info and how the website is will be transferred as well or it will start from scratch?
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.
Nice tutorial and insights!
Would you mind sharing the site you use to sell your domain?
That's something I've been curious about, but never really took the steps.
