How it works
Four steps, most of them handled by us. You'll only need a few minutes at your current registrar to get started.
Sign in to your current registrar and remove the transfer lock on the domain you want to move.
Ask your current registrar for the transfer authorisation (EPP) code. It's usually in the same dashboard as the lock setting.
Enter your domain in the transfer tool above, then paste in your EPP code when prompted at checkout.
Confirm the transfer request. It typically completes in 3 to 5 business days, with no downtime for your website or email.
