Transferring a domain from one registrar to another is a common process, especially when you want better pricing, stronger security or more reliable support. Although the word transfer may sound technical, the actual steps are simple when explained in the right order. This guide walks you through the entire domain transfer process from preparation to completion, so you always know what to expect.
1. Confirm That Your Domain Is Eligible for Transfer
Log in to your existing registrar and unlock the domain. Domains are usually locked by default to prevent unauthorized transfers, so unlocking is an essential first step.
Once the domain is unlocked, request the authorization code. This code is also called the EPP code or transfer code, and it verifies that you are the legitimate owner of the domain.
Most transfers take between five and seven days. The timing depends on how quickly your current registrar releases the domain.
Your new registrar will send a confirmation email to the administrative contact listed in your WHOIS information. Make sure this email address is active and accessible. If you do not reply, the transfer usually continues automatically.
