Register domain and move hosting elsewhere

    I know its fairly simple to register and host but for various reasons I want to register a domain anonymously and the best price I can find for this is on A but immediately want to move hosting elsewhere to B where hosting costs are cheaper then A.

    Once I get confirmation from A that the domain is registered is it as easy as going to B and clicking transfer domain? (which most hosting sites seem to have a button for).

    As the site will be anonymously registered will site B who dont seem to currently offer anon registration, ask for details of the registrant? or is that a "they might or they might not depending on the site" question

    TIA.


    note: hope Im not breaking the guidelines by talking about hosting and registering as Im not mentioning any specific names, mod feel free to delete if it is and apologies.

    Hi there

    Once you initiate a transfer and provide the EPP transfer code, the admin-contact listed on the domain's whois will get an email and have to agree to the transfer. Providing they agree, it will transfer across within 7 days.

    However, if you register a domain with registrar A, you generally won't be able to transfer it to registrar B for the first 60 days (or there will be transfer fee).

    Also, if registrar A offer you free whois protection, this will probably be deactivated the moment you transfer it to registrar B.

    Hope that answers your Qs.

    There is no need to move the domain - you can have a domain registered in one place and the hosting in another.

    Two things:

    1 - if you use proxy registration ie. whois privacy it won't move with the domain if you transfer it elsewhere

    2 - you can't transfer a domain for the first 60 days of registration

    and as already pointed out, you don't need to move the registration - just update the nameservers

    Read it again - the OP specifically asked about WHOIS
