A domain transfer changes its registrar. Hosting, DNS and email may be separate services. List them before touching settings.
Check who controls the registrar account and renewal notices.
Arrange authorised access before starting the transfer.
Ask the registrar about locks and the transfer code. A recent registration or contact change can affect eligibility.
Save the current DNS records and identify their provider.
Ask whether DNS service continues after the registrar transfer.
A shop moves its domain billing but keeps its website and mail hosts.
That does not require moving every service together.
Agree who checks the website, incoming mail and outgoing mail.
Keep the old service available until the handover is verified.
Separate a registrar transfer from hosting and DNS changes, then prepare a clear handover before moving your business domain.
