No, and here's why you're probably asking: Most people hear "transfer" when they really just need to "connect" their domain. These are completely different things, and you only need to do the second one.
The Simple Truth
SiteSwan hosts websites - we don't register domains. So while you can't transfer your domain to us (we don't handle registrations), you also don't need to. Your domain can stay right where it is, with whatever company you originally registered it with (GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.).
What You Actually Need to Do
Just "connect" your domain by updating its DNS settings. This takes minutes and doesn't involve moving your domain anywhere. Think of it like telling your domain where to find your new SiteSwan website - no transfer required.
Why the Confusion?
- Many providers push "transfers" as part of their sales process
- The terms sound similar but mean very different things
- People assume they need to move everything to one place
When Would You Actually Need to Transfer a Domain Name?
Only if you want to move your domain registration to a different registrar for reasons like:
- The previous website provider had the domain in their account and is insisting on moving out of their account now that they're no longer working with your client
- Better pricing was found elsewhere
- You're purchasing additional domain names, and want them all in the same account
But remember: This has nothing to do with using SiteSwan. Your website will work exactly the same way no matter where your domain is registered.
