Transfer a site to another account
A transfer changes the site’s owner and can change who pays for its service. Use it when handing a site to a client or another person who will take responsibility for it.
Start the transfer
As the current owner, initiate a transfer for the site and identify the receiving account by email. Review the destination carefully and share the transfer link with the intended recipient.
A site collaborator cannot transfer ownership. The recipient needs to sign in with the intended account and verify the email address before accepting the request.
Review the receiving account’s billing
The recipient sees the site and any relevant prepaid coverage before acceptance. A free, unactivated draft does not require billing setup. A site with service requires the receiving owner to authorize its $15-per-month renewal and complete any required setup or payment.
Coverage and timing depend on the site’s current service and the receiving account’s billing status. Review the dates and amounts presented by the transfer flow. Do not assume a transfer restarts a trial or means an immediate full-month charge.
Complete acceptance
The recipient accepts the reviewed terms of the transfer and completes the displayed billing steps. Ownership changes only after the required receiving-account setup or payment succeeds.
If an external payment or reconciliation step is still pending, follow the existing transfer’s status. Refresh or retry that transfer as instructed rather than sending another ownership request for the same handoff.
Verify the handoff
After completion, the recipient should confirm that the site appears in their account, inspect its billing coverage, and review the draft and publication. Review collaborators, contact destinations, and integrations so the new owner understands who can edit and where inquiries go.
Ownership transfer does not itself replace your form recipients or external CRM credentials. Those business arrangements deserve their own review.
A sender can withdraw an unaccepted request when the handoff should not proceed. Once complete, a new ownership change requires another transfer.
