Keep your domain where it is, and point it at your new site in minutes.
Overview
Your domain stays registered where it is, in your name. Switching just means telling it to show your new site instead of your old one, by changing a few settings called records.
Your portal works out where your domain is registered and shows you exactly what to type, using that company’s own names for each box, with a link to its help page. Then we check the records by ourselves, add the padlock, and email you when it’s done. Your email keeps arriving the whole time.
Soon, at the most common registrars, you won’t type anything: you sign in and approve, and every record is set for you. And if you don’t have a domain yet, you’ll be able to get one from us, connected from the start.

How it works
In your portal
Type your domain.
We work out where it’s registered and show the exact records to add, in that company’s words.
At your registrar
Add the records.
One record proves the domain is yours, and the others point it at your new site. Your email records stay as they are.
Into Your domain
We take it from there.
We check the records every 10 minutes, add the padlock, and email you when the switch is done.

Questions
Will my email stop working?
No. Email uses different records, called MX records, and you leave those exactly as they are. The portal tells you so.
I don’t know where my domain is registered.
You usually don’t need to. Your portal works it out from your domain’s settings and names the company for you. If it can’t, we find it with you.
How long does it take?
Adding the records takes about 10 minutes. Reaching everyone can take up to a day, and some visitors see your old site until then. That’s normal.
Can you do it for me?
Yes. We’ll do it with you on a call, at any registrar.
Does connecting my domain cost extra?
No. It’s part of your plan, and the padlock (HTTPS) is included.
