How to Transfer a Domain to Us

Transfer your domain from another registrar to manage everything in one place.

Before You Start

  1. Domain must be 60+ days old (ICANN rule)
  2. Unlock the domain at your current registrar
  3. Get the EPP/Auth code from your current registrar
  4. Disable WHOIS privacy temporarily (some registrars require this)
  5. Ensure admin email is accessible — you will receive a verification email

Transfer Process

  1. Go to Domain Transfer in your dashboard
  2. Enter your domain name
  3. Enter the EPP/Auth code
  4. Complete payment (transfer extends your domain by 1 year)
  5. Approve the transfer via the verification email
  6. Wait for the transfer to complete (5-7 days for most TLDs)
