Transferring a domain involves moving it from your current registrar to a new one. Here’s a step-by-step guide to ensure a smooth transition.
1. Unlock Your Domain
- Log into your current registrar account.
- Locate your domain settings and disable the domain lock (also known as transfer lock).
2. Obtain the Authorization Code (EPP Code)
- Request the EPP code from your current registrar.
- This unique code is required by the new registrar to verify the transfer.
3. Verify Contact Information
- Ensure the domain's registrant and admin email addresses are correct, as transfer notifications will be sent to these addresses.
4. Initiate the Transfer
- Log into your new registrar account.
- Start the transfer process by entering your domain name and the EPP code when prompted.
5. Approve the Transfer
- Check your email for a transfer confirmation request.
- Approve the transfer through the link or instructions provided.
6. Wait for Completion
- Transfers typically take 5–7 days to complete. During this time, you can track the status in your new registrar account.
Important Tips
- Timing: Transfers cannot be initiated within 60 days of domain registration or a previous transfer.
- DNS Settings: Confirm your DNS settings to avoid downtime during the transfer.
- Renewal: Some registrars include a 1-year renewal with the transfer fee.
