Today we are going to be discussing how you can transfer a domain name, that you own, to another person within the same registrar. This video is going to pertain to the GoDaddy registrar. This is different than transferring a domain name to another person which we will discuss in a separate video.

   Go to GoDaddy's website

   .

   To get started with what we need to do is go to GoDaddy's website. We will click on the shortcut that we have on our desktop. Once clicked, it will open the GoDaddy page for us.

    Check the box for 'we do have the customer's account number and username'

    .

    You should have this information. You don't have to have it, but it's useful if you do have it. So we are going to enter in the customer number. If you have a username instead of a customer number that also works.

    This is part two of three

    .

    As you can see, there these are the things that we're going to lose. This is a domain name that's been registered for long time so there are some free things that Go Daddy offers. They are just letting us know that we are going to lose these free things. Most of those may be useless if you know how to code a website or do anything.
