Hi, I want to transfer a site to my client who is also on a free account. I don’t want to upgrade my account since I don’t need to, but my client will upgrade his account when he receives the site. I read I need an admin to help me with this? The site is: [https://goofy-jang-9e020a.netlify.app/](https://goofy-jang-9e020a.netlify.app/) ---

hi there, did you see this guide already? If this is applicable to you, you can complete this process easily yourself! > [@\[Support Guide\] How to transfer a Netlify site to a new owner](https://answers.netlify.com/t/common-issue-how-to-transfer-a-netlify-site-to-a-new-owner/3866): > > Last reviewed September 2023. You’ve built an awesome website, but for some reason it’s on the wrong team. Maybe you accidentally put a work site on your personal account or maybe you are handing a site off to its new owner. It happens to all of us! There are two ways to accomplish the transfer. First and preferred, if you’re an owner of the site on any team, and an owner-level member of the team you’re transferring to, you can use the [this flow](https://docs.netlify.com/accounts-and-billing/team-management/team-owned-sites/#transfer-sites-between-teams). Self serve, immediate transfer, no downtime… if not, please visit [Support](http://www.netlify.com/support), and choose dns/site transfer from the dropdown menu on the right, and we will assist you. ---

I think the confusion here might be that she (and a lot of others) would like to know how to transfer to another account, not a different team? Very confusing stuff here. Don’t get it myself either ---

Team and account is interchangeable. Take a look at this documentation: [Team-owned sites | Netlify Docs](https://docs.netlify.com/accounts-and-billing/team-management/team-owned-sites/#transfer-sites-between-teams) ---

Great! I read the link. So, here is my situation: I would like to transfer a website to my brother’s own account. However, when transferring, I only get the option to create another team and cannot select his team because I am not a collaborator. Adding myself as a collaborator via his account would require him to upgrade to a pro version, which he doesn’t want. How can I transfer the website to another free account? At the bottom of the links it says: > To transfer sites between teams with no shared Owners or Collaborators, please contact support. Do I really need to contact support for this? Why is this? Additional questions: 1. I like to keep his project on my own github account because it makes no sense for him to have his own account. Is this a problem? 2. I use an A-Record to point to Netlify servers. When the site is transfered does it still resolve to the correct url? Also first I would like to test it with a starter template before transfering his official to see if all works as expected. ---
