@stevenspriggs In this case I am going with 1&1, but I do have domains with GoDaddy.
I am a week and a half into the transfer & not even halfway done yet. …Good luck getting a domain transferred under any time constraints.
If you ever decide to transfer a domain (for example, away from your host’s “free” domain service), do it about 80 days before you have to.
Found out that “footer_required” for #concrete5 only has the code for tracking site stats—nothing else. Asynchronous GA? Put it at the top.
