Domain Transfer

A domain transfer is the process of moving your domain registration from one registrar to another. This allows you to consolidate domain management or take advantage of better pricing and services.

To transfer your domain, ensure it is eligible for transfer (unlocked, older than 60 days), obtain the EPP/Auth code from your current registrar, and initiate the transfer on our platform by entering the code and following the steps provided.

The EPP/Auth code (also called a transfer code) is a unique key provided by your current registrar that authorizes the transfer of your domain to a new registrar. You need this code to complete the transfer.

Yes, transferring a domain typically involves a one-time fee. The good news is that this fee often includes a one-year extension of your domain’s registration period.

Domains are eligible for transfer 60 days after registration or transfer with the current registrar. Before this 60-day lock period expires, domain transfers are not allowed.

Transferring your domain does not affect your website or email if your DNS settings remain the same. To ensure a smooth transition, verify your DNS configuration before and after the transfer.

A domain transfer typically takes 5 to 7 days to complete, depending on the registrars involved. During this time, you may be asked to confirm the transfer via email.

If the domain transfer fails, it could be due to incorrect transfer details, domain lock status, or a mismatch in the EPP/Auth code. We will notify you of the issue, and you can retry the transfer after correcting the issue.

Yes, you can transfer an expiring domain, but it's recommended to begin the transfer process at least a few weeks before the expiration date to avoid complications. If the domain expires during the transfer, the transfer may fail, and you will need to renew it with your current registrar before retrying.

Yes, domains are typically locked to prevent unauthorized transfers. You must unlock your domain in your current registrar’s control panel before initiating a transfer.

Your WHOIS information can remain the same, or you can update it after the transfer if needed. It is important to ensure that your WHOIS data is accurate before transferring your domain.

Domains in a redemption period must first be restored by paying the applicable redemption fee with your current registrar before they can be transferred. You cannot transfer a domain while it’s in the redemption period.
