ClickFunnels Internal Domain Transfers

If you purchased a domain name through ClickFunnels before May 30th, 2024, and want to take ownership or manage it elsewhere, you must transfer the domain to another domain registrar. However, ClickFunnels can only facilitate domain transfers through DNSimple. This means you'll need a DNSimple account to initiate the transfer process. 

Important:

- As of May 30th, 2024, ClickFunnels no longer offers internal domain registration services.

- Domains purchased after May 30th, 2024, through ClickFunnels are purchased and managed through IONOS.

For domains purchased before May 30th, 2024: DNSimple offers a 30-day free trial. After the trial period, you must subscribe to their service at $6 per month for as long as your domain remains with DNSimple. Once the 60-day holding period ends, you can transfer your domain to any other host.
