How to delegate domains

Published: July 31, 2023

The Domain Delegation option can be used to provide access to one or more of your domains to another Epik account user (web designer or developer) while you retain registrant ownership, with both security and privacy, so a third party can manage the domain’s DNS settings or build your website.

The delegated party will need to create an Epik Account to receive and manage the domain. Instruct/invite the receiving party to create an Epik account and provide you with the email address of that account.

  1. Login to your “Epik” account from https://www.epik.com/
  2. Click the “Pushes” tab located across the top of the screen, right under the “epik.”
  3. Click “Outgoing Pushes”.
  1. Click “New Domain Push.”
  1. Enter your domain name(s) and receiving/delegated party’s Epik email address.
  2. Select “Push Type” then “Delegation Management” drop down.
  3. Choose the “Duration” from the Duration drop down (1-6 months & 1 year).
  4. Click “Push” to complete the process.


Once the domain is delegated, it will show in the target user’s Epik account from where he/she can manage the domain, while you retain the ownership.

FAQ

No. A delegated party will only have access to manage domains(s) that is/are being delegated to them in their own Epik account and will not have any access to the domain owner’s account.

Delegated parties will not be able to push/transfer out the domain, nor change WHOIS settings.
