This guide is for transferring custom domains between Dub workspaces. If you want to transfer default Dub domains between workspaces, please refer to the guide on how to transfer links between workspaces.

Transferring domains between workspaces is a common use case for many Dub.co users. Some examples:

  • You're working with a client on a project and want to transfer the custom domains you've set up for them to their workspace
  • You're selling your custom link shortener and want to transfer the custom domain to the new owner's workspace

This guide will show you how to transfer your Dub.co custom domains from one workspace to another – in just a few clicks!

When transferring a custom domain between workspaces, all links associated with the domain will also be transferred as well.

Step 1: Open the domain transfer modal

For a given domain, click on the button and select Transfer.

Step 2: Select the destination workspace

In the domain transfer modal, select the workspace you want to transfer the link to:

Click on Confirm transfer to complete the transfer.

That's it! Your domain and its associated links should now be successfully transferred to the new workspace.

Whenever a domain is transferred, the associated workspaces' usage stats (number of clicks, number of links) will be updated accordingly. This means that the source workspace's usage stats will be reduced, while the destination workspace's usage stats will be increased.

Caveats

  • You cannot transfer a primary domain to another workspace. You'll need to set another domain as primary before transferring the existing primary domain.
  • Link tags are not transferred when you transfer a domain and its links between workspaces. You'll need to re-apply the tags to the link in the new workspace.
  • You can only transfer links to workspaces that you have access to. If you don't have access to the destination workspace, you won't be able to transfer the domain.
