Receiving Ownership
Your new website is now live!
The last part is to make sure the domain (website address) is officially in your name, so that you have full control over it going forward.
You will need to have an Afrihost Clientzone account for this. You’ll then receive a request to accept the transfer - this is normal and only takes a few minutes
Note: The transfer request will become available at the start of the next Afrhost billing cycle - around the 6th of the new month.
Step 1 - Create a ClientZone Account
If you are new to Afrihost, you first need to create an Afrihost ClientZone account.
ClientZone is your one-stop portal to manage all your products, make payments, check balances and top up your account.
