BEFORE YOU START
Three Things to Do at Your Current Registrar
Transfers stall for the same few reasons every time, and all of them are settled at the registrar you are leaving. Ten minutes here saves a week of waiting.
Unlock the domain
Registrars lock domains by default to stop hijacking. Find the lock setting in your account and switch it off before you start.
Get the authorization code
Also called an EPP code or transfer key. Your current registrar will either show it in the dashboard or email it to you.
Check the admin email
Every message about the transfer goes to the administrative contact. Make sure that address still works, and turn off private registration, which hides it.

TRANSFER FAQ
Domain Transfer FAQs
Quick answers on codes, timing, eligibility, and what happens to your site while the domain moves.
How long does a domain transfer take?
Usually five to seven days. Both registrars email the administrative contact for approval, and approving those two emails is the fastest way to move it along.
Will my website or email go down while it moves?
No. Your DNS records come across as they are and the domain keeps resolving throughout, so your site, email and SSL keep working.
Why is my domain not eligible for transfer?
ICANN blocks transfers in the first 60 days after a registration or after a previous transfer. Also check that the domain is unlocked, not expired, and not in a redemption period.
Do I lose the time I already paid for?
No. A transfer adds a full year on top of whatever time is left, so nothing you have already paid for is wasted.
What does a transfer cost?
It follows the extension, and it is based on the renewal price rather than the first year registration price, so the two are often different. The exact amount is shown before you pay. Taxes and ICANN fees are extra.
What is an authorization code?
A one time key, also called an EPP code or transfer key, that proves you control the domain. Your current registrar shows it in your account or emails it to you.
Can I transfer several domains at once?
Yes. Use bulk transfer to move a whole list in one go instead of one at a time.
What happens if the transfer fails?
Nothing is lost. The domain stays exactly where it is and you can start again once whatever blocked it has cleared.

Transfer pricing varies by extension and excludes applicable taxes and ICANN fees. A transfer adds one year to your registration. Domains cannot be transferred within 60 days of registration or of a previous transfer.
