  Please how can I delete the domain aiff-ghana.com so another party can buy it immediately? My client for whom I registered this domain now wants to but it with a different registrant and host it.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I suggest transferring the domain to the client, rather than canceling it.

  If we cancel your domain, it can take up to several weeks for our domain registrar to release the domain, and we can’t guarantee that your domain will be available to you again once canceled.

  Here are some alternative options:

  • You can transfer the entire site/domain combination to a new owner, and allow them to take care of the domain transfer to the new host. You client must become a WordPress.com user for this option.

  • Or you can simply transfer the domain to a new registrar, and then adjust the ownership information accordingly with the new registrar.

  Let me know if any of these options work for you. Many thanks!

  You’ll begin the process by following the information here:

  And then, you’ll start your transfer to GoDaddy:
