If you have already registered your domain name elsewhere and would like to transfer the registration to our registrar, then please unlock and authorize the transfer. Keep in mind that whether you choose to transfer the registration or retain it at its current registrar, you must use our nameservers in order to use our e-mail, DNS and web site services.
Before you can transfer a domain, you will need to unlock the domain name, and get theauthorization code. Both of these tasks require logging in to the account where the domain is originally registered.
Note: If you do not know your registrar name, you can go to whois.domainpeople.com to search your domain name in the Whois records. The Whois record may also display the e-mail address that was originally used when registering the domain name.
Unlock Domain Name
Before you can transfer your domain name, you need to log in to your account where the domain name was originally registered and unlock it.
Obtain Authorization Code
You will also need to get the authorization code. An Authorization Code is a password that you need to locate when you want to transfer domain names ending in .com, .net, .org, .biz, .us, .info and .name. You can find the authorization code by accessing the account where the domain name was originally registered. (Note: The Authorization Code is also known as an "Auth Code," "Auth Info Code," or "EPP Password.")
Below we see a screen in a typical account that shows the Auth Code and that the domain is locked.
Once the domain name is unlocked and you have the authorization code, you can start the transfer.
Keep in mind the following:
The transfer process can take 5-8 days.
The authorization e-mail from the current registrar will be sent to whichever address you provided to them during the original registration process, so please be certain that it's active.
