What this means
What this means
A domain transfer moves registrar control. It can affect renewal timing, DNS authority, and support responsibilities, so CM Cloud treats transfers as reviewed steps rather than automatic changes.
Before you start
Before you start
Confirm current registrar access, domain expiry date, registrant email access, nameserver/DNS provider, active email records, and whether the domain is locked or under transfer hold.
Step-by-step guidance
Step-by-step guidance
- Check current registrar access and expiry date.
- Confirm where DNS is currently hosted and whether email depends on it.
- Document nameservers, MX records, website target, and Cloudflare use if any.
- Plan transfer timing away from critical business hours.
- Ask support to review before changing registrar or DNS settings.
What CM Cloud support will review
What CM Cloud support will review
Support reviews transfer eligibility, expiry risk, DNS/email continuity, Cloudflare readiness, and whether the domain should be connected to hosting before or after transfer.
