GoDaddy: keep the keys with the business
Domains bought at GoDaddy often sit in a web designer’s account. These steps put them in the business’s own name and keep a second person able to help.
Every step below is from GoDaddy’s own help pages, checked on 6th October 2026. Screens change: if a step doesn’t match what you see, the linked page is the one to trust. Nothing here needs you to share a password.
Let a second person in
In your register this is field N.4 of the GoDaddy account.
- Go to the Delegate Access page.
- Under People who can access my account, select Invite to Access.
- Enter their name and email address, choose an access level, then select Invite.
Delegates can use your products but can’t see or change payment methods or passwords. They need their own GoDaddy account.

Turn on 2-step verification
In your register this is field N.6 of the GoDaddy account.
- Set up at least one verification method first, such as an authenticator app.
- Go to the Security page.
- Under Enhanced Security, switch the 2-Step Verification toggle on.
Sign in with a business address
In your register this is field N.5 of the GoDaddy account.
- Go to the My Profile page and select the email address.
- Change it to the business address, then select Send Verification Code.
- Enter the code sent to the new address.
This doesn’t change the domain’s registrant details, which are updated separately.
Move the domain into the business’s own account
In your register this is field N.3 of the GoDaddy account.
- In the Domain Portfolio, select the domain to open its Domain Settings.
- Under Transfer, select Transfer to another GoDaddy account.
- Enter the business’s account email twice, choose whether to copy the contact details, then select Send Transfer Request.
- The business accepts it from the email within 10 days.
DNS settings move with the domain; a website or email product doesn’t. A domain within a day of expiry, expired or already moving can’t be moved.
