How to Transfer a Domain from GoDaddy to Cloudflare (Use Cloudflare as Your Domain Registrar!)

In this video we will walk through the process of transferring a domain name that is currently on GoDaddy, to Cloudflare, where we will be able to take advantage of Cloudflare's super-low domain renewal pricing through the Cloudflare registrar: www.cloudflare.com/products/r...
There are a few reasons why I really like Cloudflare, and a lot of reasons why I prefer not to use GoDaddy. You can learn all about why in this video, where I compare GoDaddy and Namecheap, and have a shout-out to Cloudflare in this video as well. In short: If you're looking for the cheapest way to renew your domains year after year, Cloudflare is your best bet (and no... before you ask ... I don't make any money by recommending them to you - this is what I use for my own domains!)
The instructions in this video will help someone who is trying to transfer their domain to a registrar that is NOT Cloudflare, as well, but you'll probably have to skip the part of the video where I change the nameservers - that section is Cloudflare-specific.
If you have any questions, or if you get stuck, leave a comment below.
- If you're looking to buy a NEW domain name, check out Namecheap: www.wiyre.com/recommends/name...
- Need web hosting? Check out Siteground! They are great for Wordpress sites: www.wiyre.com/recommends/site...
Both of these options are affordable, easy, and best of all, it helps support this channel, at no additional cost to you!

Great tutorial. My only critique would be to add the restrictions to the beginning of the video. I purchased a domain recently and wanted to transfer. Started the process while watching your video and I got stuck because of it. I added a reminder to my calendar, but it would have saved me a bit of time if I knew. Thanks for putting the time into making this walkthrough though!

Thank you so much for this step by step guide. I will never buy anything from Godaddy ever again.

@moncorp1 11 месяцев назад

One step left out was unlocking the domain on Godaddy. If you don't do that the transfer won't take place. And some of the interfaces in godaddy have changed since this video was made. Some are in beta that allow you to switch back to the old interfaces. Then you can follow the video. But once godaddy takes them out of beta and makes them permanent, this video will be obsolete. Hope Wiyre makes a new one then.

Thank you kindly for this video, sir. I'm a dev, and I have clients that want to move away from GoDaddy (because of their ridiculously high prices for hosting). Super helpful - thanks!

@ornawalters3293 2 года назад

Super helpful! Thank you so much for walking through this process with so much detail. Question: If the domain is forwarded to another URL, do I have to make that change inside CloudFlare once it's moved over? Or will that forward be carried over in the transfer process? I'm aware that the domain you move in this video doesn't have anything on it, so I'm wondering if I need to do something else if the domain is active with content and/or forwarded to a different URL. Thank you!

Thanks! i would have been lost without this video.

@nextgenray 3 года назад

Nice video - spot on and very helpful. Question: Does Cloudflare now point to the Go Daddy Hosting or are there additional changes needed? If the A records in Cloudflare have the Go Daddy IP Address, does this connect the domain to the Go Daddy hosting plan?

Thank So much for give and detailed and concise tutorial especially the end part to go back and release them via transfer out. It worked exactly the same and I am transferring from simpledomaintools. Those crooks raised all of my domains from 9.99 to 17.99 this month And I have 34 domains. You were a huge help.

Sir after we transferd our domain to cloudflare how to connect with our host

@djmtype 2 года назад

Does Cloudflare keep the contact info of the domain name private? Or is that extra?

@nasrullahyousofi1947 3 года назад

I have just purchased my domain name from Godaddy for 2years and changed the name server too. So do I have to pay again to cloudflare for transferring my domain???

@d00msday-l3x Год назад

Once I went to 6:14, it says that "The following domain is unavailable for transfer" for me..... should I just start a new domain, or is there a fix to that?

@senoner90 Месяц назад

My understanding is that Cloudflare does not provide hosting. So how do you solve that issue? (I'm new to this)

@muezartindia9311 3 года назад

Its been 20 hours and the domain registrar has not been updated why?

@MrLoorduae 2 года назад

What i mean we can just transfer name server but keep the domain on go daddy ?

@MauriceMutetiNgundi 7 месяцев назад

can i transfer expired domain?

@bradford-vts 3 года назад

Cloudflare or Google for Domain hosting? Which would you say? I heard lots of good things about both. And told that the domain hosting service can affect website performance and one should move away from their web host providers and domain host with either cloudflare or google who are two of the best. Do you know any of the differences?

@Urbanette Год назад

Google charges about 20% more

@specialCraftsandmore 3 года назад

Why does mine say cant trasfer until May 9 i never transferred it and i bought it awhile ago is there a way to get that off

@techtipspro4464 3 года назад

connect your current registrar and ask them to explain what's wrong, They have to explain any specific question that customers have, Hope it helps it works for me.

@erinobrien3522 Год назад

This is very helpful... , even in 2023, but what if it's not a virgin domain and it has a bluehost site connected? 🤔

@mick3yoroz586 Год назад

Does this affect the actual hosting for live websites? I have a couple websites that are online. I want to transfer just the domains to cloudfare. I don't want to change the hosting for the websites.

@Wiyre Год назад

No, does not affect the hosting. Domain registrar is different from website host

@jameswalker8366 Год назад

Is it possible to change the nameservers to something I want after transferring the domain to CloudFlare? I have purchased a domain from CloudFlare, but I was not able to change the nameservers for the domain. Is it possible to change the name servers of the domain after transfer?

@Urbanette Год назад

Not unless you buy a plan, but you don't need to. You keep the cloudflare DNS and your host links to the cloudflare account, then you get all the great stuff that Cloudflare gives you for free.

@FredNeust 3 года назад

Hello my friend, do not laugh at me. I have currently 150 (!) domains on godaddy. Now i want to move ALL ... do you recommend cloudflare? I use a lot of Wordpress and want to sell some.. whois protection free is good... and I do not lose the time of registry etc. Any downsides? CDN will be good right, I am just confused why you recommend namecheap in description not Cloudflare

@Wiyre 3 года назад

I am sorry you are stuck at GoDaddy! Luckily, Cloudflare will save you LOTS of money in renewal fees. WHOIS protection is included at Cloudflare: developers.cloudflare.com/registrar/domain-registration/whois-redaction It will take time, but it will be worth it.

@FredNeust 3 года назад

@@Wiyre awesome quick reply. called their service and they tried to upsell the DOMAIN CLUB for 220$ a yeaa so renewal just costs 12 dollar :D:D:D:D Just imagine i would have bought. Ok i will move successviley over. I could not find a downside of cloudflare yet. just afraid they will be come costly as they are trading on stock exchange haha

@Wiyre 3 года назад

Godaddy is publicly traded too on the stock exchange - and I have more faith in Cloudflare than I do GoDaddy - best of luck!

@FredNeust 3 года назад

@@Wiyre Thanks wow shocking. I just wanted to move all to cloudlflare BUT!!! i cannot change NS on the free version. That means i cannot list them on a registrar like dan.com :O omg

@FredNeust 3 года назад

any answer?

@tonybp Год назад

Is this method still working today? How many days before expiration date should I do the transfer?

@Wiyre Год назад

Still works today. By expiration, do you mean your domain name renewal on GoDaddy is about to expire?

@tonybp Год назад

@@Wiyre Hey thanks for the reply! Yes, I have a couple of domains in GoDaddy that will expire in about 30 days, I'm thinking a week before should be OK, right? I've also been told that GoDaddy makes it very hard for folks to transfer domains, locking them for 60 days for the silliest reasons.

Does cloudflair have free ssl?

Yes they do: www.cloudflare.com/ssl/

Thank You Thank You Thank You!! Perfect video on how to transfer your domain to Cloudflare. I transferred from another registrar to cloudflare and was able to apply your steps for the trasnfer. Cloudflare should pay you for this tutorial. Better than anything Cloudflare has on their KB's. You should put a link on this video to send donations/gifts to you. I would love to contribute. Thanks again from NYC
