You can move an Order along with all other related Products and Services from your existing Customer Control Panel to another Customer, by following the steps mentioned below:
-
You can move a .UK domain name only if its Registrant Contact is not associated with any other domain name.
-
Third level .ME domain names can be registered only by Montenegrin individuals and entities. Hence, if you are moving a Third level .ME domain name, do ensure that the Customer to whom you are moving has the Default Registrant Contact as a Montenegrin individual or entity.
-
When a .TEL domain name is registered, the system automatically creates an account for accessing the .TEL Hosting Control Panel and sends the login details to the Registrant Contact. If moving your .TEL domain name involves change of the Registrant Contact, then you need to update the email address associated with the .TEL Hosting Control Panel for this domain name.

AttentionUnable to move. Your nameservers are not configured as per the .DE regulations.
Additional Information
- A domain can only be moved using the existing Contact Details of the domain name. The feature for using Default Contacts of the new customer has been Deprecated.
- Move is currently not supported for WordPress Hosting orders.
- Moving a VPS order from one customer account to another can affect the following configurations on your server:
-
Private Network:
If you are using private IPs for your servers, moving the order to another customer account will affect its private IP. When you enable private network for any server under a customer account, it creates a private vlan and all VPS servers under that customer account can communicate over this private network. Therefore, when you move one order to another customer account, this server now becomes of part of a separate private network and will be able to communicate only with the servers under the destination customer account.You will have to update the configurations with the new private IP to start using this again.
-
SSH Key Manager:
The keys that you upload using the SSH Key Manager in the Server Management Panel are available to all the servers only under that specific customer account. Thus after moving the order from one customer account to another, the keys that you will see under its Server Management Panel will be the ones uploaded/managed under this new customer account. However, keys are never deleted from the server’s authorized_keys file.
