Migrating a domain allows you to seamlessly transition from a self-managed domain to a Rapyd-managed domain, giving you full control over your DNS records directly in the Rapyd dashboard. This feature is designed to make the process quick and painless.

For details on the differences between managed and self-managed domains, check out our guide: Introduction to Domain Management on Rapyd

Log into your Rapyd account and navigate to the Domain directory, which can be found by Clicking Domains in the top navigation.

In the Self-managed domains tile, you’ll see how many domains are currently self-managed. Click Migrate domains to proceed.

A list of all self-managed domains associated with your account will appear. You’ll also see which Rapyd website each domain is currently used by. Select the domain(s) you want to migrate.

Click the Add domain button, which will display the total number of domains selected for migration.

Our system will prepare to manage your domain’s DNS records. This process typically takes about 1 minute. When the process is complete, you will see a link to Complete setup. Click that to continue.

After your domain is set up in our system, you will be able to view it in the Domain management area of the dashboard. Click your domain to view the management page.

On that page, confirm that the DNS records have been imported correctly. Check with your current DNS host to verify before proceeding.

After the domain is added to Rapyd, update your domain’s nameservers to the ones provided in the domain's settings. See our Guide on Changing Nameservers for detailed instructions on how to do this.

Once the nameservers have been updated and detected by our system, your domain will be fully migrated to Rapyd.

Migrating your domain to Rapyd ensures streamlined management and unlocks powerful features to enhance your site’s performance and security. If you have any issues during the migration process, feel free to contact our support team for assistance.
