# Domain Transfer — doodlafarms.com from GoDaddy

## Overview

The `doodlafarms.com` domain is currently registered under Lucy's GoDaddy account. The team decided to transfer it to Asymmetric's account for centralized management and easier oversight. This came up during the [[wiki/clients/current/doudlah-farms/2026-04-05-salesforce-call|2026-04-05 internal team call]] alongside the broader [[wiki/clients/current/doudlah-farms/2026-04-05-email-migration-outlook-gmail|email migration]] and [[wiki/clients/current/doudlah-farms/2026-04-05-site-performance|site performance]] work.

## Transfer Process

The transfer follows a standard GoDaddy domain unlock and auth code flow:

1. **Unlock the domain** — In GoDaddy, navigate to the domain and toggle the transfer lock off.
2. **Obtain the auth code** — After unlocking, GoDaddy will issue an authorization code (EPP code). It is a multi-character string with symbols. GoDaddy may attempt to dissuade the transfer; proceed past the confirmation prompt.
3. **Send auth code to Mark** — Karly retrieves the code from Lucy and forwards it to Mark.
4. **Mark initiates the pull** — Mark uses the auth code to pull the domain into Asymmetric's registrar account.

> **Note:** The unlock step requires identity verification tied to Lucy's GoDaddy account. Karly needs to coordinate with Lucy directly to complete this step, as the verification code will be sent to Lucy's phone number on file.

## Status

| Step | Owner | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Contact Lucy for GoDaddy auth code | Karly | ⬜ Pending |
| Retrieve and send auth code to Mark | Karly | ⬜ Pending |
| Initiate domain transfer | Mark | ⬜ Pending — awaiting auth code |

## Action Items

- [ ] **Karly** — Contact Lucy, walk her through unlocking the domain in GoDaddy, and obtain the auth code.
- [ ] **Karly** — Send auth code to Mark once received.
- [ ] **Mark** — Initiate the `doodlafarms.com` transfer upon receiving the auth code.

## Context

The transfer was discussed as part of a broader effort to consolidate Doodla Farms' technical infrastructure under Asymmetric's management. Having the domain in-house reduces dependency on the client for DNS changes, renewals, and troubleshooting — particularly relevant given the ongoing [[wiki/clients/current/doudlah-farms/2026-04-05-site-performance|site performance issues]] and planned [[wiki/clients/current/doudlah-farms/2026-04-05-email-migration-outlook-gmail|email migration to Gmail]].
