Domain Transfer

Before Getting Started, You will need to have the following:

• A domain purchased through ClickFunnels

Step #1 - What is an Internal Domain?

A domain purchased through ClickFunnels and still hosted by ClickFunnels is also known as an Internal Domain. The steps in this article will only work for Internal Domains.

You can determine if your domain is an Internal Domain by following these steps:

1. Go to ClickFunnels Domains.
2. Look to the right of the domains listed under "Expiration" to see if it is internal or not, as shown below.

If your domain is listed as internal, you can proceed with the transfer process as outlined in this guide.

You can determine if your domain is an Internal Domain by following these steps:

1. Go to ClickFunnels Domains.
2. Look to the right of the domains listed under "Expiration."

• If it shows an expiration date next to it, then it is an Internal Domain.
• If it says "External Domain" next to it, then it is not an Internal Domain.

Only Internal Domains can be transferred using the steps outlined in this article.

Step #2 - Creating a Required DNSimple Account

Internal Domains can only be transferred to a DNSimple account.

If you wish to have your domain transferred to a different registrar, you will first need to transfer the domain to DNSimple and then transfer the domain from DNSimple to the registrar you wish to host your domain.

1. Visit the DNSimple pricing page.
2. You can select a free trial by scrolling to the bottom of the page.

After setting up your account with DNSimple, proceed with the domain transfer to DNSimple and then follow their instructions to transfer the domain to your desired registrar.

Now fill out the card information as seen below. 

Now click on  Start my free trial.

   If everything is correct, then proceed to Step #4.

Step #4 - Adding the Domain to your DNSimple Account  

You will receive an automated email from DNSimple informing you that ClickFunnels wants to move your domain into your DNSimple account.

Within the email, they will give you a hyperlink to click on to accept the transfer.

Click on the hyperlink  to be sent to a DNSimple page showing your domain and an Accept and Decline button.  If the domain is correct, click Accept. 

A registration form will appear that must be filled out before DNSimple will accept the transfer.  Once the form has been filled out, click Accept Push at the bottom.
