Prepare before starting
Confirm that the domain is eligible for transfer and is not subject to a registry or registrar lock. Check the domain's expiry date, verify the registrant email address and obtain the required authorisation code from the current registrar. Review any transfer restrictions that may apply after a recent registration or previous transfer.
Protect website and email continuity
A registrar transfer does not automatically mean that website files or email hosting are moved. DNS settings may remain unchanged, but you should record the current nameservers and important DNS records before making changes. Keep existing hosting and email services active until you have confirmed that the domain resolves correctly and all services work as expected.
Important points for Domain Transfer
Check transfer eligibility, domain lock status, registrant email access, authorisation-code requirements and expiry date. Keep DNS records documented.
Before you place an order
