Moving from Domain.com

Three ways to do it. Most people pick the first one: about 10 minutes, and nothing goes down while it switches over.

Never send us your password. Every option below uses Domain.com's own invite or settings screens, so you stay in control and can remove us any time.

1. Point your domain to us Recommended

Your domain stays at Domain.com (you keep paying them for it). We host the new site. You just swap two settings.

Before you start: we'll email you two nameservers that look like xxxx.ns.cloudflare.com. Have that email open.

  1. No official page retrieved.

Changes usually show up within a few hours, at most 24 to 48. Your old site keeps working until the switch finishes.

2. Move your domain to us

We take over the domain itself, so you get one bill (ours) for website, hosting and domain. It stays registered in your name and we renew it at cost.

  1. Third-party guides describe: unlock under Security, turn off privacy, request the EPP code on the Transfer tab. No official page confirmed.

Timing: ICANN 60-day rules apply to all registrars.

Then send us: the authorization code (also called the EPP or transfer code). Paste it in your dashboard or reply to our email. Don't post it anywhere public.

3. Keep Domain.com, let us in to fix or rebuild

Best if you only want fixes or a rebuild and want to stay on Domain.com. You invite us; we never need your login.

Domain.com calls it: UNVERIFIED · Choose:

Invite this email: hello@advancingwebsites.com

  1. No current official Domain.com help article could be retrieved. www.domain.com/help redirects to the Network Solutions help center, so Domain.com appears to share Network Solutions' Users & Roles system (Primary / Admin / Tech) - NOT confirmed for Domain.com

Good to know about Domain.com

Stuck?
