Transfer Domain Name

Why Transfer a Domain Name?

• Better pricing and renewal rates
• Improved domain management tools
• Consolidation of multiple domains under one registrar
• Enhanced security and customer support

Steps to Transfer a Domain Name

Step 1: Unlock Your Domain

Log in to your current domain registrar and disable the domain lock feature, which prevents unauthorized transfers.

Step 2: Obtain the Authorization Code

Request an EPP/Auth code from your current registrar. This code is required by the new registrar to process the transfer.

Step 3: Choose a New Registrar

Select a new domain registrar that offers better features, security, and pricing.

Step 4: Initiate the Transfer

Enter the domain name and authorization code on your new registrar’s transfer page. Follow the instructions to complete the transfer request.

Step 5: Confirm the Transfer

Your current registrar will send an email confirmation request. Approve the transfer to proceed.

Step 6: Wait for Completion

Domain transfers typically take 5-7 days to complete. Your new registrar will notify you once the process is finished.

Things to Consider Before Transferring

• Ensure your domain is at least 60 days old, as ICANN rules prevent recent registrations from being transferred.
• Check renewal fees at the new registrar.
• Ensure your contact details are up to date to receive transfer confirmation emails.

Conclusion

Transferring a domain name is a straightforward process that allows you to take advantage of better pricing and services. By following these steps, you can seamlessly move your domain to a new registrar.
