The information would be easy to move over, but I have no idea how difficult it'll be to transfer the domain away from WP (they registered it with the plan) or if that's even possible. They also already printed the domain on their swag so we're stuck with it.
Probably just going to have to power through, though I may look into moving the domain and moving to a static hosting for long term once their 1 year is up with WP.
idk about wordpress, but can imagine you can just get a domain transfer, pay another year with the new provider and then freely use it.
Yeah, you'd think. But I'm not expecting it to be straightforward or easy (if it is, then yay). I'm definitely going to look into it.
Nah, I doubt it would be hard. Luckily there is a central body governing this and saying what they can, can't, must and mustn't do.
One complication is if they recently bought the domain. I think you need to wait like 90 days or so after a domain purchase or transfer to be able to transfer it.
They did about a week ago, and that's what I'm assuming is going to be the hangup. I've just not ever messed with domains registered through WordPress, so I'm also unclear if there are any other restrictions or paywalls (everything is an upsell with them). I get mine directly from a registrar and am familiar with transferring those.
Yeah, that's probably impossible. I think that's an ICANN rule.
But I would assume that wordpress is a normal registrar, just one that's highly integrated into their other services.
Edit: apparently the limit is 60 days, and a registrar can choose to transfer it anyways but they don't have too. It's an ICANN rule intended to protect the buyer.
Transferring a domain from wordpress seems to be pretty straightforward with no fees. If they are not too expensive you could also just change the nameservers or edit the wordpress DNS if that is possible.
Thanks!
I've got more than 60 days before they want to go live, so it's certainly possible.
I hadn't looked into it at all yet (have had other things on my plate today), but my main fear was that the domain was registered to WP and just assigned to their account (e.g. WP "owned" the domain and we wouldn't have standing to transfer it). Again, I have done zero research on that front and was largely assuming WP would make it difficult.
I'll talk to the stakeholders and see what they think. They've already paid for a year of hosting and additionally may want to stick with WP for "reasons" (in which case I'm stuck). They didn't say why they chose it, so I dunno. We'll see I guess. Thanks again.
I hope you get your way :)
Again, if it's not too much work, I would prepare a static site first and then, when it's ready, work on just flipping the domain target to your new server.
I cannot imagine that you cannot change the domain's destination. You can still keep it registered at WordPress, that doesn't matter.
