Hi community!
I am desperate for some technical help!
About 10 years ago, I asked a friend to help me set up my website (www.jeffmalo.com), and he chose to work with a business called Funio. The website was very minimal, and old school, it was not a good representation of my business, so about a year and a half ago, I decided to switch to Shopify where I have better control of the content and the look and feel. I am 80% sure what I did was follow the path of "connect an existing domain to Shopify" from Funio instead of a domain transfer, I can't remember the details. However, now I realize I am paying Shopify almost 500 dollars a year for my website, but also paying ~$400 a year for Funio. I want to know if it's possible to completely move everything to Shopify so I can get rid of Funio. I don't know if I can just stop Funio, I'm afraid my website will go down if I do that, I don't know how exactly it's set up.
Does anyone have an idea of what I can do? Thanks in advance !
Hello @JeffMalo
I think you need to check this guide to move ahead into this Transfer Domain to Shopify
I hope this will help you or simply ask the support team they get back to you
Thanks
Hi @JeffMalo 👋 you need to make sure you own the domain, which is a separate matter you should do your due diligence through internet research.
In some cases when using a "hosting" or "hosting domain" service etc that serve may own the domain.
Or there can be ~60 day transfer lockout period where you unable to transfer a domain such as after a registration/?renewal?/transfer.
Get your ducks in a row and have your business property properly documented.
When you know it's your domain need to pursue a domain transfer to a domain registrar or shopify.
It doesn't necessarily need to be shopify so you don't have all your eggs in one basket.

Hi PaulNewton,
Thanks for the reply! I did a WHOIS search on GoDaddy and it shows the following info:
