When you want to create a web hosting account with polar55, you have to decide whether you want to transfer your domain to us or not. When transferring, you have two options:
1: Order without transfer to Polar55
2: Transfer the domain to polar55
If you choose the first option, it means you will manage your domain externally. The second option is to transfer the domain to polar55. If you choose this option, we will manage your domain and handle automatic renewals for you.
Typically, it makes the most sense to transfer the domain to polar55, so both web hosting and domains are handled by the same provider.
When you transfer a domain to us, it only involves the administration. You need to move the content of the website and emails yourself. Alternatively, you can hire us for this task if you need assistance. Please note that your DNS settings are not automatically changed during the transfer. Therefore, you can move your content before changing the nameservers at your own pace.
