Questions Regarding Transferring Ownership of a Site, etc

  • Unknown's avatar

    1. We are currently revamping our old site, http://www.connectwithyourk9.com, with a new wordpress theme–currently building it under another account, smolinskij1. What would the process be like for transferring ownership/linking the domains? Or do we need to take a different approach? We currently just have a wireframe of the landing page built!

    2. We would also like to change who’s hosting our site. We are currently under a contract with a local website design team. Who do you recommend for efficient business hosting?

    3. Right now, we’re just creating a wireframe with the theme Radcliffe 2 with a free account. What tier would get us access to support or a help desk–as well as website maintenance?

    4. Are there plugin integrations for Pipedrive forms? Our site needs to gather data from our customers that makes it into our database. After looking at form options through the website builder, it seems like there’s pretty limited options for making customizable and efficient forms.

    5. Are there plugin integrations for Hyfin (Hartland) payments? Or do we have to keep running Paypal plugins?

    WP.com: Yes
    Correct account: Yes

  • Hi there,

    What would the process be like for transferring ownership/linking the domains? Or do we need to take a different approach? We currently just have a wireframe of the landing page built!

    To clarify, you are trying to move your existing site (an exact copy) over to WordPress.com, and then redesign it here? I see your site at smolinskij1.wordpress.com but was not sure what you meant by “wireframe” exactly.

    We would also like to change who’s hosting our site. We are currently under a contract with a local website design team. Who do you recommend for efficient business hosting?

    We are a hosting provider, so for example we currently host smolinskij1.wordpress.com. If you wish to change the address of that site to be connectwithyourk9.com instead that can be done by connecting your domain to our service. This will replace your current site with the new one that you would set up here.

    3. Right now, we’re just creating a wireframe with the theme Radcliffe 2 with a free account. What tier would get us access to support or a help desk–as well as website maintenance?

    I’m not sure what you mean wireframe, can you explain? For free sites, we offer support here in our public forums. However, you can access priority support (including live chat) by upgrading to our Business/eCommerce plans, which also includes the ability to upload plugins (see next question): https://wordpress.com/plans/

    Are there plugin integrations for Pipedrive forms? Our site needs to gather data from our customers that makes it into our database. After looking at form options through the website builder, it seems like there’s pretty limited options for making customizable and efficient forms.

    Our built in form builder tool does not connect to Pipedrive, but it seems that you can add a “plugin” created by a 3rd party developer to help you make the connection. Here are a few I found by searching online.

    Are there plugin integrations for Hyfin (Hartland) payments? Or do we have to keep running Paypal plugins?

    Yes I see that Heartland offers an integration for WooCommerce, which is an ecommece plugin available under our Business Plan. More info (from Heartland) here: https://www.heartlandretail.us/integrations/woocommerce-retail-pos

    Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.

    1. In regards to what I’m doing with my wordpress account, I’m creating the new site that will be replacing the current connectwithyourk9.com. We’re doing a full redesign. Will it work to ultimately transfer the smolinskij1.wordpress.com site to connectwithyourk9.com?

    2. Is your web hosting through Amazon Web Services?

    3. And to explain, the wireframe is just the basic site concept! We’re going to be filling out the rest of the pages as time goes on. And your response answers my question–thank you!

    4. Beautiful response for question 4! That’s super helpful!

    5. Also answers my question!

    Thank you for your time!

  • Hi there,

    Will it work to ultimately transfer the smolinskij1.wordpress.com site to connectwithyourk9.com?

    What you could do is redesign the site on smolinskij1.wordpress.com and once you are done developing the site, you have a few options:

    You can transfer the domain from your current host over to WordPress.com so that both the site and the domain are hosted with us:

    https://en.support.wordpress.com/incoming-domain-transfer/

    Or, you can keep the domain at your current host and connect the domain by updating the nameservers and pointing them over to WordPress.com:

    https://en.support.wordpress.com/connect-existing-domain/

    Whether transferring or connecting, using your domain on WordPress.com requires the purchase of a paid plan:

    2. Is your web hosting through Amazon Web Services?

    No, our sites are hosted on our own servers.

    Automattic Data Centers

    Hope this helps!
