Over the years, we have built up documentation and made it accessible for our institutions to assist with supporting Domain of One’s Own. With Reclaim’s pricing model changes beginning January 1, 2021, you’ll want to update your support documentation to reflect that.
Navigate to your Support Documentation
For this example, we’ll refer to the templated documentation that is given out with every new DoOO setup. This will likely be in your main Domain of One’s Own cPanel account in a separate WordPress install called “DoOO Documentation” or something similar.
Inside this WordPress install, navigate to Posts and edit the published guides named “When You Leave”, “Migrate to Reclaim Hosting”, and “Export Your Domain”.
