How a transfer works

  1. Prepare at your current registrar

    Unlock the domain and request its authorization (EPP) code.

  2. Start the transfer here

    Enter your domain and the code in our cart and complete checkout.

  3. Approve the move

    Confirm the transfer email. The registry completes it, usually within a few days.

  4. Keep things running

    We help you check DNS so your website and email keep working.

Monthly managed care
Will my website or email go offline?
They should not. Before the transfer completes, check that your DNS records are in place. We can review them with you.
Does a transfer add time to my registration?
For most extensions, a transfer adds one year to the registration. The cart shows the details for your domain.
Why can my domain not be transferred yet?
Registries block transfers for 60 days after a registration or a previous transfer, and while a domain is locked.
Where do I find the authorization code?
In the domain settings at your current registrar. It may be called an EPP code or transfer code.
