Move a domain to another account
Changing which HostBari account holds a name — not a registrar transfer, and much faster.
Updated 02 Sept 2026
Moving a name between two HostBari accounts is not a registrar transfer. The registrar does not change, no auth code is involved, no five-day wait applies and no year is added. All that changes is which account can manage it.
When you need it
A colleague bought the domain on a personal account. The company later opened a shared one. An agency registered a name for a client and the client now wants it. The name is in the right place technically and the wrong place administratively.
What travels with it
The registration and its expiry date, because those live at the registry. The ডিএনএস zone comes too, so the website and mail keep working through the move with nothing to re-enter.
What does not travel is anything billed separately — hosting, certificates and mailboxes stay on the account that pays for them. Move those in the same request if they should follow.
Is this the same as changing the registrant?
No. This changes which account manages the name. Changing the registrant changes who the registry records as the owner, which for some extensions starts its own verification and can lock transfers for 60 days. Say which one you want and we will tell you what it involves.
Will the website go down while it moves?
No. Nothing about resolution changes — the same nameservers answer with the same records throughout. If the hosting is staying behind on the old account, that is the part to plan, not the domain.
