      We need to move our domain from one account to another at our domain registrar (which is Moniker).  Both the "from" account and "to" account will be at Moniker.  The "from" account currently has privacy settings enabled and we'd also put these in place for the "to" account.

      Has anyone done this and see any impact on SEO?  Is there any big or common mistakes that I should be aware of?

      Thanks all!

        I have moved domains from one account to another at the same registrar without problems.  I have have also moved domains many times from one registrar to another - even in different countries - without any loss of rankings.

        A few times these have been domain sales where the registrant (visible to the public) has also changed.  No problems.

          No problem at all, just make sure your domain is registered for a few years, not just one, so its taken as a serious long term business.

          • Will doing a 301 redirect for one domain to another give the latter domain the formers links?

          • I've consolidated other domains to a single one with 301 redirects, yet the new domain authority in MOZ is much less that the redirected ones. Is that right?
