This guide explains how to move (transfer) a domain name to a new or existing VIPcontrol account.

​
Before proceeding - important notes

It is very important to know that moving a domain name to another VIPcontrol account does not:

​
Transferring your domain to another user

  1. Log in to VIPcontrol.
  2. Click the My Services link on the top → Domain Management from the tabs underneath.
  3. Click the Manage button for the domain name that you wish to move to a new account.
  4. Click the Move Domain Name option on the left side under Admin. Move Service
  5. Click on the Move button and follow the prompts to finalise the transfer.
  6. After you click the Move button, an invitation email will be sent to the email address you entered on that page. This email will include an invitation link.
  7. To finalise the move, the person with access to that email needs to click on the invitation link and follow the prompts from there.
  8. If the person taking ownership of the domain already has a VIPcontrol account, the domain name will be moved to their account. However, if they don’t have an existing VIPcontrol account, they will be prompted to create one during the invitation link process.
  9. After following the steps, the domain ownership and billing will be transferred to the new user, completing the move.
Please note that if you have an unpaid invoice for a domain name, you won’t be able to move it. To complete the move request, you need to make sure that all outstanding invoices associated with the service are paid. Once you have paid any outstanding invoices, you can move the domain name to the new VIPcontrol account.
