The problem. Domains spread across three registrars, years of renewals on autopilot, and a new studio name that needed a home.
What we did, in one morning.
- Registered two new domains and had them live within minutes: one redirecting to the studio site, one to the AI Race Tracker, with email forwarding on the studio address.
- Moved three established domains onto one lean, modern registrar, approved for same-day completion instead of the usual week.
- Started a client’s domain on the same move, well ahead of its renewal date.
- Kept every site and every mailbox running throughout. No DNS changes, no downtime.
- Scheduled the last holdout’s move for its renewal window, so nothing ever lapses.
The result. Seven domains under control, auto-renew and privacy on, and one less vendor to pay.
Technical detail
- Registry lookups (RDAP) and DNS resolution checks to inventory registrar, expiry, nameservers and mail routing for every domain.
- Transfers sequenced to keep authoritative DNS on the existing hosting nameservers, so resolution never changed.
- 301 URL forwarding with tracking parameters; wildcard forwarding; mail forwarding on the new domain.
- Outbound transfers approved at the losing registrar to skip the five-day hold.
