A company already has a website created by web developer A, hosted by webhost A and their domain name is registered with registrar A. They want me a newbie to create a new website for them and keep theiroriginal domain name because it is printed on all their business cards etc. How do I go about keepingthe original domain name but changing the domain name registrar to registrar B and changing the webhostto web host B? Do I need to contact the original Web developer? Do I have to wait until thedomain name/webhost expires? The company may not even own the domain name but the original web developermay own it.
ok what you are asking is transfering of domain its realy simple stuff okay as you said orignal webdeveloper have domain registrar access than you gotta ask that develepor to transfer the domain to your registarar account once that is done you need ur new webhost and use that webshost nameservers to trasnfer from that old host to new host if you need all old website files too you will need to ask that to webdeveloper its all game that who have main access to domain registrar account
Ask the company if they own and have all the access of the domain like administrative/registrant contact, transfering domain names needs the EPP which the owner should have it.
