Before I got sidetracked with AWS SSO issues which ended in my last post:

Now initially I thought I would go ahead and transfer over the websites associated with those domains. But then I started thinking about how I would transfer the files and automate the configuration — some of which I have completed and some of which I have not.

As I mentioned those websites are still functional because the NS records for the websites don’t have to be in the same account where the domain name is registered.
