Domain Transfer: How To Transfer Your Domain To Another Company

Domain Transfer

If you want to transfer your domain to a different registrar, all of the following requirements must be met to complete the process.

Transfer requirements must all display green.


Important: If your domain has expired or is expiring within the next 10 days, please contact us for assistance. Attempting to transfer an expired or expiring domain can sometimes cause unexpected complications, and we want to ensure that your domain transfer occurs smoothly.
 

It is extremely important that you confirm your domain admin email address before proceeding.
You must be able to receive your Auth-Code to transfer your domain. You will use this code to confirm ownership with the new registrar.
Your domain contact information can be accessed on the left.

It is mandatory that you have access to the Administrative email address in order for a successful transfer. You can view and edit your email address to each tab individually or all at once, depending on which tab you have selected.

  8. Once Auth-Code has been received, you can start transferring your domain to your new registrar by putting the Auth-Code to your new account with them or simply communicating with their Support Specialist.


Pro Tip: Once the auth-code is generated and sent to the gaining registrar, it would usually take 5-7days or, depending on the gaining registrar's domain transfer timeline, to be transferred completely.
 


Pro Tip: Once in a while, a legitimate email goes to your spam folder instead of your inbox. We recommend you check your spam folder if the Auth-Code has been sent there by mistake.
