I am transferring my part ownership of a small business to the other owners.

Our domain (actually, we have three registered domains all pointing to our main site, and the following applies to each of them) was registered through godaddy.com with me as the contact person, but then I used domainsbyproxy.com to make the contact information private.

So for each domain, if you do a whois search, domainsbyproxy is the registrant, and then I am the contact listed with Domains by Proxy.

How do I change things so that the domains remain private, but are handled by another of my partners?

Again, right now I have:

- Godaddy account in my name, with the three domains listed.
- Each domain actually has DBP as the registrant
- DPB has me listed for the contact for each domain

When finished, I'd like:

- My existing godaddy account, but none of these domains are in it
- The three domains keep DBP as the registrant
- DBP has one of my partners listed as the contact

How do I accomplish this? The tech support from both godaddy and DBP has been confusing.

From what little experience I have with DBP, you'll probably have to take these steps:

Initiate the transfer of domain names out of your account into your former business partners' account.

You'll have to cancel your DBP registration to do this.

Upon the transfer completing, your business partners should create a new DBP account and pay for privacy with this domain name.

There isn't, as far as I know, any way to maintain privacy when you transfer a domain name. You'll have to cancel it first and then let them do whatever they want with it.

I think Roldar has got it right. When you transfer the domains, The DBP agreement doesn't go with it. They'll need to buy privacy after transfer.
