  I am planning on adding website design into my portfolio. I was told wordpress is the best place to manage and create sites for my clients. If they have an existing domain, what is the best way to transfer it so that I have control over it ?

  Oh and just noting too, in our services domains can only have one owner. So generally I’d encourage the true domain owner to keep control over the domain itself rather than transferring it to a contractor, but, that’s between them and you.
