This article describes the options for transferring products between different Hetzner accounts. The procedure differs depending on the platform: Robot, Hetzner Console, or konsoleH.
Robot products
Dedicated root servers
For dedicated servers, the following article describes how to do the transfer: Server transfers between Robot customers
Domains
You can transfer domains directly on Robot by the previous contract partner.
Procedure:
- Person A = current owner
- Person B = future owner
- Person A selects the domain they want to transfer on Robot under Domains.
- Person A creates a transfer token by going to Create token and gives the token to Person B. The token is valid for 7 days.
- Person B goes to their account on Robot and starts the transfer under Domains → Show domain transfers → Start domain transfer and enters the token.
- Person A receives an email and confirms the transfer on Robot by going to the Transfer tab.
- The transfer is automatically carried out and Person B receives a notification when it is finished.
Note: An existing AV contract is not automatically transferred and must be renewed if necessary.
Rackspot
- Person A = current owner
- Person B = future owner
You can transfer rack space reservations in two ways:
- Person A fills out a form
- Both Persons A and B send support requests using their Robot accounts:
- Person A opens a ticket with transfer request
- Person B opens another ticket and agrees to the transfer
vSwitch
It is not possible to transfer a vSwitch. If you want to transfer a server that is connected to a vSwitch, you need to first remove the vSwitch. Then transfer the server from Person A to Person B (see steps above). And then assign the server to a vSwitch on Person B's account.
Hetzner Console products
Storage Box
Procedure:
- Person A = current owner
- Person B = future ownerBoth Persons A and B need to have a shared project to transfer a Storage Box.
- Person B creates a project and invites Person A. (See below.)
- Person A moves the Storage Box to this project.
- Person B then moves the Storage Box to a private project.
Cloud server

- Person B moves the server to a private project.
Object Storage
It is not possible to transfer Object Storage Buckets between projects. To move them, you need to replicate the data:
- Create a new bucket in the target project.
- Transfer the data using tools such as rclone.
Project invitations on Hetzner Console

- Open the project.
- Select Security in the left-hand menu.

konsoleH Products
Web hosting packages, Storage Shares & Managed servers
Unfortunately, we are generally unable to carry out manual transfers.
Storage shares, web hosting packages and managed servers cannot be transferred.
Managed Domains
As a gesture of goodwill, we can manually transfer domain registrations only. Please note, however, that you will always have to transfer the data yourself.
