Domain Transfer Checks

Before Initiating a Domain Transfer we need to do the following checks.

1. Business Email

Investigate if there's an email using the domain you're trying to transfer.

• If there is none, proceed as normal.
• If there is an existing email, identify what the Email Provider is.
• If the email provider is different from the Registrar, take note of the MX & TXT records to add them to the DNS records in Dynadot after the Transfer is complete.
• If the email provider is the same as the registrar, do not proceed with transferring unless the client insists. If they do insist, advise that you will need to recreate their business email in our server as well which will cause the Inbox to be "wiped out". So they need to save, or forward any important emails to keep them.

2. Domain Pointing

If Domain Pointing hasn't been done yet & you have Registrar access, complete the Domain Pointing Process first before you initiate the transfer. This way, we can bring the website live on the legacy domain instead of doing it after the transfer where we need to wait for the transfer to complete first.

You'll need to monitor the Transfer Status in Dynadot on a daily basis to check if the Transfer runs into an error with a wrong Transfer Code or if the transfer is already competed.

Email Calendars

If you are missing the Bitrix Calls from the Email Calendar Panel (shown below), you can add it via settings.

Simple Texting

Check Simple Texting at least once a day. This will be part of the future scoring system for the PMs.
