Most companies today have their own domain name if they have their own website for their business. But what happens if you want to change domain companies? Many companies find that a change will help keep their costs down, combine services with one supplier or add more options. But, a company usually does not transfer domain name because they have developed a brand with that name. Fortunately, you can change your supplier without changing your domain name.
Most companies that offer software to connect to the internet can now move domain names from one company to the next. In the same way that you can carry a mobile telephone to a new carrier, domain names can be easily transferred in most cases to a new carrier.
It Is Easy To Switch
The steps to switch are easier than those that set up your domain in the first place. This is because you don’t need to spend time choosing the name for your domain. Take a look at the options available for your domain name. One thing that saves money is bundling services together. Another option is expanding the level of your services. As you company grows, you may find the services you have contracted with no longer do all you need to have done. A reputable company will extend your subscription along with your new contract for a small service fee. This way, you don’t lose the investment you have made in your current domain subscription.
Then, go to the website of the company of your choice. Once there, enter your old domain name in the box provided and select the “Add to Cart” or a similar button. Then add your payment information and your domain has been transferred. You can cancel your old account, or simply let it expire depending on the terms of your contract.
The Next Steps
Once you complete the transfer process, your domain is immediately up and running. It is good to test your site out in case there is a problem. Usually, this process is quite seamless. If you have combined services, such as adding an e-commerce store, a hosting site or new website, you can proceed to upgrade your new business website.
Don’t forget that you will need to make sure that your e-store, blogging site and website are all working together. You want your customers to be able to easily switch between all of your new pages. Make sure that you keep in a separate place all the data for your new account such as the company name, address, contact information and your account number.
Ready, Set, Go
Once you have completed the changeover, the more enjoyable your website is the more customers will return to your website. Like going to a favorite store, customers will visit websites they enjoy. This brings new sales for your company.
So, don’t hesitate to change your domain name to improve your bottom line. Your business and your customers will thank you.
