Transfer Ownership

Easily Transfer Your WHC Services to Someone Else

Small Business Success

Need to move a domain or hosting plan to someone else, like a client or team member? Now you can do it yourself, straight from your WHC account. No more tickets!

Introducing our brand-new Self-Serve Ownership Transfer Feature, designed to make transferring your service or domain to another person easier, faster, and more secure than ever before. Smooth sailing, eh?

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 Manage on your desired service or domain.
  • 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.

See this article for more information.

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.

Who is this for?

Here are a few real-world examples where this feature comes in handy:

Deliver complete control to your clients. No shared logins or support ticketing delays.

Billing Cycle

Easily Change Your Billing Cycle With WHC

Domains

Managing your billing preferences just got a lot easier! At WHC, we're excited to announce a new feature that puts more control in your hands: you can now change your billing cycle directly from your Client Area without the need to contact support.

What’s new?

Previously, adjusting your billing cycle required reaching out to our support team via chat, ticket, or call. But now, you can make the change yourself, anytime you like, straight from your Client Area. This enhancement is available for both services like hosting and domains.

Why this matters

  • More control: Make changes to your billing cycle whenever you want, without waiting.

  • Simplicity: Adjust your billing preferences for services and domains in just a few clicks.

  • Transparency: View updated pricing and details before confirming changes.

How it works

Services

  1. Log in to your Client Area
  2. In your dashboard, you can select which type of service you want to change (e.g, Hosting and Websites, Servers, Emails and Apps).
  3. Locate the service you wish to change, and click on Manage.
  4. Click the gear icon in the top right corner, and then on Plan Details.
  5. Locate the dropdown box under “Billing”, then select your preferred billing cycle from the options provided (e.g., monthly, yearly, etc.).
  6. Click on Save to confirm your changes. 

Domains

  1. Log in to your Client Area.
  2. Click My Domains.
  3. Locate the domain you wish to change, and click on Manage.
  4. Click on the settings gear icon, then Billing Cycle. 
  5. Select your desired billing cycle (e.g., 1 year, 3 years, etc) from the dropdown box.
  6. Click on Save to confirm your changes. 

Regarding renewals

If an invoice has already been generated for an upcoming renewal, we’ll automatically update it to reflect your new billing preferences.

When you change your billing cycle, the new cycle becomes active once your current one ends.

If payment is overdue, the invoice must be paid before you can make any changes to your cycle.

Get started today

Head over to your WHC Client Area and try it out. Have more questions? Our team is always happy to help!

And if you haven’t yet experienced the best in Canadian hosting, WHC is here to offer you lightning fast speeds, near-zero downtime, trusted resources, and so much more. Time to kick your online journey into overdrive.

Wordpress 6.8

Say Hello to WordPress 6.8

WordPress

WordPress 6.8 “Cecil” has officially arrived—named in tribute to boundary-pushing jazz pianist Cecil Taylor. Like its namesake, this release is all about pushing the creative envelope, not with flashy new features, but through deep refinement of what already works.

Whether you're a site owner, designer, or developer, WordPress 6.8 enhances how you build, edit, and manage your content, quietly making everything faster, easier, and more powerful.

What’s new?

Style Book just got better

WordPess 6.8

The Style Book in the Site Editor has been redesigned with a cleaner, more structured layout and clearer labels. You can now easily manage your typography, colours, and block styles from one organized interface, with direct access from the Styles panel in the sidebar. Fewer clicks. Better visibility.

Expanded design tools for visual precision

WordPress 6.8 gives you finer control over block styling and design without needing a developer. That means easier, more professional-looking results for everyone, whether you’re touching code or not.

Query Loop block upgrades

WordPess 6.8

Managing dynamic content just got smarter. The Query Loop block now lets you:

  • Include or exclude sticky posts

  • Sort results in new ways

  • Pull content from nested page hierarchies

This gives you full control over how content displays across archive, category, or custom pages.

New: Query Total block

WordPess 6.8

Say hello to the Query Total block, which displays how many posts or pages match your filters. Think “12 posts found” or “3 results”—great for search results and category pages that need clarity.

Cover block enhancements

The Cover block now includes image and background resolution controls, letting you optimize visuals for quality or speed depending on your needs. More polish, less load time.

Details block: Now with name attributes

WordPess 6.8

Want a sleek FAQ or progressive disclosure section? The Details block now includes a name field, allowing multiple collapsible sections to be styled and grouped more effectively.

Editor upgrades for streamlined workflow

  • Inline reset buttons: You can now reset individual design settings—like colors, shadows, and duotone filters—with a single click. Great for experimentation without the mess.
  • A ‘Cut’ function for blocks: The Cut option joins Copy and Paste in the block toolbar menu. It’s a small but crucial upgrade that makes moving content easier than ever.
  • Command palette enhancements: Two new commands supercharge your workflow:
    • Add new page: Instantly create a new page from anywhere.
    • Open Site Editor: Jump to the Site Editor from any Post/Page screen.
Just hit Cmd+K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows) to access the Command Palette.

Starter Content: Jumpstart your pages

WordPess 6.8

The Inserter now includes a Starter Content category, featuring prebuilt page layouts you can use to quickly design new pages. Any time you add a new page, you’ll have these layouts just a click away!

Upgrading to WordPress 6.8

You can upgrade to WordPress 6.8 directly from your dashboard or through cPanel. Need help? See our helpful guide to Manually Update WordPress and WordPress Plugins.

If you’re on a WHC Pro Managed WordPress plan, we strongly recommend testing the update on a staging site first. This creates a copy of your live site where you can experiment without risking any disruptions.

Getting started with WordPress

Starting from scratch? We’ve got you covered with our WordPress installation guide. It’ll take you through the process of getting your new site up and running smoothly.

Looking forward

WordPress 6.8 isn’t about flashy changes—it’s about refinement. Smarter defaults, faster navigation, more control, and smoother creation. Every block, tool, and setting works just a bit better. And when everything works better, your site does too.

Upgrade today and discover how small improvements can make a big difference.

Check out the official release post for a full list of changes. And as always, the WHC team is here to help if you need a hand.
