How do I transfer a domain between teams?

We do not support directly transferring domain ownership from one team to another. Instead, you can download a zone file with all of the domain’s DNS information.

You can find the Download Zone option by clicking the More button to the right side of your domain name in the Networking tab.

Once downloaded, delete the domain from the old team, add it to the new team, then copy and paste the DNS records from the zone file into the domain in the control panel.

You can only transfer Droplet Snapshots directly to another account or team. You have to migrate other resources manually to another account or team.

Use the app’s Settings tab to remove domains associated with App Platform apps.

Why aren't my vanity DNS name servers resolving?

If you use vanity or branded DNS nameservers that delegate to DigitalOcean’s nameservers, you must update to new IP addresses.
