You can either directly transfer an existing account or delete your previous account and start over from the beginning here at BearHosts.
Legacy G Suite: If you are trying to transfer a legacy G Suite account from another reseller to BearHosts, we currently are unable to process these types of transfers at this time. Don't fret; we have our team working to resolve the transfer dilemma for legacy accounts. If you have a Google Workspace account, we can accept those transfers now.
