What’s new?

Traditionally, transferring a service or domain to another account was a bit of a headache. It needed both parties to submit tickets and wait for manual processing, which could lead to days of email ping-pong that killed momentum.

Now, with our self-serve feature, you can start and complete transfers directly from your WHC Client Area. No tickets. No delays. Just a smooth, streamlined experience.

How it works

1. Kick things off

• Go to your WHC Client Area
• Click the gear icon or open the Account menu.
• Choose Transfer Ownership, then select the services or domains you want to transfer. Only active services and domains within the grace period are eligible.

2. Provide recipient info

• Enter the name and email of the person you’re transferring the service to
• Double-check for typos (‘cause accuracy is key!)

3. Verify via email

• You’ll get an email with a verification link. Click it within an hour to confirm the transfer.

4. Recipient accepts

• The recipient will get an email with a unique, secure link to review and accept the transfer. If they’re not yet a client, they’ll be able to quickly create an account.

5. Done and done

• Once accepted, the transfer is completed instantly. Both parties receive confirmation emails.

Why you’ll love it

• Faster processing: Wrap things up in minutes, not days.
• Better security: Requests are protected with email-based 2FA, unique verification links, and strict time limits.
• Increased autonomy: Handle transfers independently. No tickets, no waiting.
• No extra cost: No hidden fees or surprises.
