Namecheap: keep the keys with the business
A Namecheap domain belongs to whichever account it sits in. Moving it to the business’s account is free and doesn’t need a transfer code.
Every step below is from Namecheap’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.
Share access with a second person
In your register this is field N.4 of the Namecheap account.
- In Domain List, select Manage next to the domain, then the Sharing & Transfer tab.
- Under Share Access, enter their email address or Namecheap username and select Add.
- Choose what they can edit. They confirm from an email within 7 days.
Only the domain’s owner can share access, and the other person needs their own Namecheap account.
Turn on two-factor authentication
In your register this is field N.6 of the Namecheap account.
- Go to Profile, Security, then Two-Factor Authentication, and select Enable.
- Save the backup codes it shows you.
- Scan the QR code with your authenticator app.
Sign in with a business address
In your register this is field N.5 of the Namecheap account.
- Go to Profile, then Personal Info.
- Select Edit next to Primary Email, enter the business address and your password, then Change Email.
- Use the confirmation link sent to the new address while signed in.
Move the domain into the business’s own account
In your register this is field N.3 of the Namecheap account.
- In Domain List, select Manage next to the domain, then the Sharing & Transfer tab.
- Under Change Ownership, enter the business’s Namecheap username or email and select Change.
- Confirm with your password. The business accepts from an email, unless its account accepts automatically.
The change is final and free, with no 60-day wait. Hosting and Private Email need separate steps.
