As part of our personal branding service, we buy and set up domains on behalf of our clients. The domain is registered for you and it leaves with you. This page walks through moving it into your own registrar account — the screenshots show GoDaddy because it is the most common destination, but the same five steps work at Namecheap, Cloudflare, Porkbun, or anywhere else. Nothing here is GoDaddy-specific except the pictures.
Before you start, two things worth knowing: moving your domain and moving your website hosting are two different jobs, and doing both on the same afternoon is the most common way people take their own site offline. If that distinction is new, read domain vs. hosting — and who really owns yours first. For a step-by-step version with the timing rules and registrar locks spelled out, see how to move your domain to any registrar or host.
Step 1: Request the transfer
Email our Operations team (operations@blitzmetrics.com) and let us know you’d like the domain transferred to your GoDaddy account.
Step 2: We initiate the transfer
Our team will start the domain transfer process from our account to yours.
Step 3: Accept the transfer
Check your email for a message from GoDaddy with the subject line “Action Required: Changes to your GoDaddy account.”
Open it and click “Activate Now” or “Accept Transfer”, then log in to your GoDaddy account to confirm.
Step 4: Domain is yours
Once accepted, the domain is fully under your control and billing.
Important note: Website files are separate
The transfer only moves the domain name. Your WordPress files remain on our hosting until you’re ready to migrate. Contact our Ops team if you need help with that step.
What this costs you
We do not bill you for what we already spent. Every registration and renewal fee we paid on your domain stays paid. There is no exit fee, no clawback, and no invoice for an unused portion.
Your new registrar may charge to accept the domain. That fee is theirs to set and it is yours to pay — it is usually about the price of one year of registration, and at most registrars it adds a year to your expiry rather than being a pure cost.
We register standard-priced domains only. Premium, auction, and aftermarket names are not included in our programs and we pay no broker fees. If the exact name you want is being resold as an investment, we will register a clean variant and tell you which one before anything is bought — or you can buy the premium name yourself, in your own name, and we will host and manage it.
Timing. A registrar can refuse to move a domain for 60 days after it is first registered, and changing the listed owner can start its own 60-day hold. These are registry rules, not ours. If a lock is in the way when you ask, your request stays open until it can actually be completed. Eligibility windows for your specific program are in the terms you agreed to when you signed up.
Ask us any time. You never have to give a reason.
