Transfer a Domain in 4 Simple Steps:
Verify Your Domain is Ready for Transfer
Before starting the transfer, make sure your domain meets the eligibility requirements:
-
Your domain must be at least 60 days old from the date of registration or any previous transfer.
-
Ensure your domain is not locked or in “redemption” status with your current registrar.
-
The contact information associated with your domain (especially your email) should be up-to-date, as you'll need it for authorization.
Once these conditions are met, you're ready to move forward!
Unlock Your Domain
For security reasons, most registrars automatically "lock" domains to prevent unauthorized transfers. To initiate the transfer process:
-
Log in to your current registrar's account.
-
Look for the domain management settings and find the option to “Unlock Domain.”
-
Confirm that the domain status is now set to “Unlocked” so that it can be transferred.
If you're unsure how to do this, consult your registrar's support or contact us for guidance.
Obtain the Authorization (EPP) Code
The Authorization Code, also known as the EPP Code, is a unique code that acts like a password for transferring your domain. It is crucial for completing the transfer. Here's how to get it:
-
Log in to your current registrar's dashboard.
-
Navigate to the domain management section and request the EPP code for the domain you want to transfer.
-
You may receive this code via email or directly on your account page. Make sure to store it securely.
This code will be used in the next step to authenticate the transfer.
Initiate the Transfer to KnitHost
Now that your domain is unlocked and you have the EPP code, you can start the transfer:
-
Enter the domain name you want to transfer into the search box.
-
Submit the EPP code when prompted during the transfer process.
-
Complete the checkout and confirm your transfer request via the email sent to the domain's administrative contact.
Once you've confirmed, the transfer will be initiated. The process usually takes 5-7 days, but we'll keep you updated at every stage.
