    Hey all,

    Basically a friend of mine has bought our domain name, and decided to host our website on their server. Its been a few years now, but they are getting bigger and need to focus on their project which means I need to transfer our 2 websites to a host sever…but my question is how they can transfer the domain name to us so that we have soul rights and can stop relying on them to be webmaster…

    Any suggestions on the easiest way to do…I ASK YOU ALL TO SAVE them the time in trying to work out more for me…

    Thanks so much for you help…

    Sorry I am a bit clueless with this stuff!

    Thanks
    gg

  • not a WordPress problem –

    please contact the name registrar for how to transfer the domain name.

    If you are hosting elsewhere then you need to change the nameservers to that of the new hosting company from the control panel for that domain name.

    Where was your domain name bought?

    hmmmm, well not sure where to consult, just asking to clarify it before i ask my friends for MORE help…if you know what i mean

    they bought it via www.remarpro.com, but they host using dreamhost if that helps

    thanks again for taking the time guys

    they bought it via www.remarpro.com

    No they didn’t. Perhaps they meant wordpress.com? In which case, they need to contact the folks over at wordpress.com to arrange a domain name transfer.

    If you want to take ownership of the domain then you need to contact the domain registrar for that domain and see what their procedure is. Normally they will want written permission from the owner to confirm that they want it transferred to someone else.

    They probably bought the domain from Dreamhost as well as the hosting, have a look and see what’s involved.

    ok well, i will just forward the question to the source i suppose (just trying to avoid asking MORE MORE MORE…if you know what i mean). I was almost positive they said it was purchased via www.remarpro.com, but i will have to verify and see what the procedures are by them and by dream host. Will see…

    Thanks to all for your attempt to help, i appreciate it none the less.

    Thanks again,

    www.remarpro.com doesn’t register domain names at all. I think your friends may have been confused.

    He might of meant the Hosting link at the top of this page????

    ie bought via www.remarpro.com

    No – www.remarpro.com does not sell hosting either. That links to a list of hosts that you could use but we neither endorse them or have anything to do with them.

    www.remarpro.com recommends a number of hosting companies at the link above called hosting, we know they don’t sell hosting and domain names. He has took the recommendations for hosting from this site.
