Guide: How to Transfer Your Domain from GoDaddy to the Westmore Trust Account (GoDaddy Account-to-Account Transfer)

Not using GoDaddy? No problem. ContactWestmoreand let us know which registrar or registry your domain is with, and we will provide you with secure, step-by-step instructions tailored to your platform.

Important Security Notice 🔒

Before initiating any domain transfer, Westmore must be notified in advance of the intended date and time. We recommend scheduling the transfer so that Westmore can be on a live call with you (and the registrar, if required) to ensure the process is completed correctly and securely.

As an additional safeguard, Gerard Michael will personally provide a confidential Westmore verification code required before the transfer begins. This code is issued directly by Gerard Michael and is known only to him. Do not start the transfer without this Westmore code.

Westmore also follows internal security protocols that are not publicly posted. These additional safeguards are provided only through direct communication with Westmore, ensuring your domain transfer is fully protected, authenticated, and properly completed.

📞 Contact Westmore to schedule your secure transfer appointment and receive the necessary Westmore verification code.

GoDaddy may require you to unlock the domain first.
