| Do I have to transfer my domain registration too? It's not required to transfer your domain registration in order to transfer your hosting account. However, to make it easier for you to manage every aspect of your website and get the support you need, we recommend your domain registration and hosting comes from the same provider. |
| Will there be downtime when I transfer my hosting account? Some downtime is possible. To prevent the risk of your site being down, we will send you a temporary URL where you can upload your site so that it is available during the 24 - 48 hour DNS propagation period. |
