Transfer Checklist

Shifting your online presence to a new host can feel overwhelming, but we're here to help simplify the process. If you're thinking about transferring a domain to us (or anywhere else for that matter), here’s a checklist of the essentials you’ll need:

  1. Domain Name.This might sound obvious, but ensure you know the exact domain name you wish to transfer.
  2. Domain Unlock.Domains have a security feature to prevent unauthorized transfers. Before a transfer can occur, you’ll need to unlock your domain through your current registrar’s control panel.
  3. Authorization/EPP Code.This is a unique code for your domain, which acts as an extra layer of security. Ask your current registrar for this code; you'll need it to initiate the transfer.
  4. Valid Email Address.The domain owner’s email address (as listed in the WHOIS database) will receive crucial information about the transfer process. Ensure it's accurate and accessible before starting the transfer.
  5. Backup.Always back up your website data before making any changes. This ensures that even if something goes amiss during the transfer, you can restore your website to its original state.
  1. Domain Age.Some registrars require that a domain be at least 60 days old before it can be transferred. Double-check this if your domain is relatively new.
  2. Disable WHOIS Privacy/Protection.While this service protects your personal data, it can interfere with the transfer process. You'll need to temporarily disable it for the transfer to proceed smoothly.
  3. Check Expiry.It's wise to initiate the transfer well before the domain's expiration date. Aim for at least a few weeks to a month prior to ensure there's no lapse in your online presence.
  4. Clear All Pending Actions.Ensure there are no pending actions on your domain, like registration or renewal. This can halt the transfer process.
  5. Familiarize with DNS Settings.If you have custom DNS settings or use third-party services like email or a CDN, familiarize yourself with these settings. You might need to reconfigure them after the transfer.
