Introduction

The process of initiating a domain ownership transfer involves transferring control from the current domain owner to a new recipient, whether or not the recipient has an IP ServerOne account. This transfer typically occurs when domain ownership changes due to business transactions or partnership shifts. The transfer can be carried out through IP ServerOne’s platform if both parties have accounts, or via other domain management tools if the recipient does not. The steps may vary slightly depending on the recipient’s account status, but the overall process ensures a secure handover of domain rights and responsibilities.
