Built a site under the wrong account, or want to give your website to someone else — a client, a partner, your own other account? You can move it yourself in a couple of minutes — the site, its domain, and everything on it go together.
Before you start
- Sign in to the account that currently owns the site — that's where the transfer starts.
- Know the email address of the new owner. They'll need a free Zarla account with that email — signing in once creates it.
- The transfer starts from the account the site lives in — if the site was shared with you, even as an owner, only the original account can move it.
Send the transfer
- In the sidebar, go to My Sites and click the site you want to transfer — this matters if you have more than one site.
- Click Site settings in the sidebar and scroll to Site collaborators.
- Click Transfer.
- Choose what you want:
- Share ownership (you keep access) — the other person becomes an owner too, and you both keep working on the site.
- Transfer ownership (you lose access) — the site moves into their account and you won't be able to edit it anymore. If you're helping them settle in, tick Keep minimal access for handover (Staff role).
- Enter the Recipient email, tick the confirmation box (it names the site, so you can double-check you're transferring the right one), and send.
What happens next
The new owner gets an email with an accept link (it expires after 14 days). They sign in — or create a free account — with that email address and click Accept. The site stays where it is until they accept; once they do, the site is theirs, and they can manage the site, its domain, and everything on it from their own account. If the site already has a paid plan, payments stay on the card that set it up until that plan is canceled — contact support if you need billing moved across.
Want to call it off? Back in Site settings, a Pending transfers card lists transfers you've started — click Cancel. The accept link stops working immediately.
Started your site under the wrong email?
Same fix: sign in with the email that has the site, send a transfer to your other email address, then accept it from that account. Two minutes, everything intact.
