As a SeekaHost customer you can transfer or move a domain name from your SeekaHost.app account into another SeekaHost.app account using the domain ownership change option.
Why change the domain name ownership account?
- If for example one of your employees registered the domain name at https://www.seekahost.app/buy-domain-name/ after checking the domain name availability checker and now you want it to be under your ownership. Because the person who registered the domain will have their details in the registrars and the registry will consider them as the legal owner of the domain name.
- Owning a domain of your business, brand is very important and at SeekaHost we always advise business owners, bloggers and anyone who builds their own website on WordPress to register the domain name under their name with their correct details.
- If you sold the domain name to another business owner then you must change the domain name ownership and so you will have to change the account name, emails address and everything that’s connected to a particular domain name.
You can have any reason and if you wish to change the accounting or even just want to separate it and move to another account in SeekaPanel, below steps will guide you.
