# Move or transfer a domain

> Move a domain to another of your foundables, or transfer it to another company, to keep your web address with your business.

Move a [domain](/help/glossary#domain) you bought through Foundable to another of your foundables. Or transfer it out to another company that sells domains.

Ted can do this for you. Ask him to move a domain to another foundable, or to unlock one for a transfer. You copy its code yourself.

Only the owner can move a domain. The owner or an admin can transfer one out.

**1. Open the domain**

Open the account menu at the top right, or **More** on a phone. Choose **Settings**, then **All domains** (an admin: **Domains**), and press the domain.

**2. Choose Move domain**

On its **Registration** card, open the **…** menu and choose **Move domain**.

**3. Pick the foundable**

Pick it under **Move to**, then press **Move domain**. The domain and its renewal move there. Its website and email stop at once in the foundable it leaves.

If you delete a foundable, you keep its domains, marked deleted. They don’t renew or show a website until you move them. Moving is all they allow.

## Transfer it to another company

**Transfer out** is in the same **…** menu. It moves the domain to another company that sells domains, a registrar.

**1. Wait for the lock to end**

A new domain stays locked for its first 60 days, and Foundable can’t change that. The window says the day it can end.

**2. Turn off Lock domain transfers**

The window then says the transfer can go ahead.

**3. Copy the code**

Press **Reveal authorization code**, and copy it. Your new registrar uses it to start the transfer.

## Check that it worked

A moved domain shows under its new foundable in **All domains**. A transfer shows **Transferring out** while it goes, then **Transferred out**, with the day it moved.

## If something goes wrong

> **“…’s inbox uses an address on this domain. Change its address in Inbox first.”**
>
> Your foundable’s email uses this domain. Change that address in the Inbox first, then move it. See [Change your email name or address](/inbox/email-address).

> **“Turn off the transfer lock first.”**
>
> Turn off **Lock domain transfers** in the window, then press **Reveal authorization code** again.

> **“Couldn’t reach the registrar.”**
>
> Wait a moment, then try again. If it keeps happening, [contact support](/help/get-help).
