Transferring your domain to a new registrar allows you to consolidate your management under one provider.

Before You Begin

  • Ensure your domain is unlocked at your current registrar.
  • Obtain your Authorization Code (EPP code) from your current registrar.

Transferring a Domain

  1. Request an EPP code from your current registrar.
  2. Provide this code to your new registrar.
  3. Confirm the transfer via the email sent to the domain owner.
  4. Wait for the transfer process to complete (usually 5–7 days).

Best Practices

  • Ensure your domain is not within 60 days of initial registration, as most registrars prevent transfers during this period.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my website go down during a transfer?
