Step 3: Verify Contact Information

Ensure your domain contact details are current to receive important transfer communications.

Step 4: Begin Transfer at New Provider

Your new provider will need:

  • Your domain name
  • The EPP code we provided
  • Current contact information

Step 5: Approve Transfer Request

Watch for and respond to transfer confirmation emails to authorize the move.

Step 6: Transfer Processing

Important notes about the transfer period:

  • Usually takes 5-7 days to complete
  • Your website remains fully operational
  • Email services continue working
  • DNS records stay intact

Step 7: DNS Configuration

After transfer completion:

  • Review DNS settings at your new provider
  • Verify all services are working correctly
  • Update nameservers if necessary

Important Considerations

Before initiating a transfer:

  • Domain must be older than 60 days
  • No pending domain updates
  • Active registration status
  • Valid contact information
