Home › Domain Transfer
Move your domain without taking anything offline
Your site and email keep running throughout, and the transfer adds a full year to your existing expiry date.
Four steps, most of which take a minute
The waiting is your current registrar’s doing, not ours. Approving their confirmation email is what speeds it up.
Unlock the domain
Turn off registrar lock in your current control panel. The domain must also be at least 60 days old.
Get the EPP code
Copy the authorisation code, sometimes called an auth code or transfer key. It is usually emailed to you.
Start it here
Enter the domain and EPP code at checkout and pay for one year. That year is added to your current expiry.
Approve the email
Your current registrar sends a confirmation. Approve it and the transfer finishes in hours instead of days.
Before you start, check these four things
Nearly every rejected transfer comes down to one of them. Sorting them out first saves a week.
- The domain is more than 60 days old and has not changed owner recently
- Registrar lock is off
- The admin email on the domain is one you can actually read
- It is not within 15 days of expiry, and not in redemption
Transfer pricing

Every transfer adds one year to your existing expiry date, so this replaces a renewal rather than adding to it. See all extensions.
Transfer questions
Will my website or email go down during a transfer?
No. A transfer moves who manages the registration, not where the domain points. Your nameservers and DNS records stay exactly as they are, so the site and mailboxes keep working throughout.
How long does a domain transfer take?
Usually five to seven days for .com, .net and .org, because the losing registrar has a five-day window to respond. .in and .co.in transfers often complete within a day or two. You can approve the transfer email to speed it up.
What is an EPP or authorisation code?
A password that proves you control the domain. You get it from your current registrar’s control panel — it is sometimes called an auth code, EPP code or transfer key. Paste it at checkout and we do the rest.
Why is my transfer being rejected?
Almost always one of four things: the domain is still inside the 60-day lock after registration or an ownership change, the registrar lock is on, the EPP code is wrong or expired, or the domain is within 15 days of expiry. Fix whichever applies and try again.
Do I lose the time left on my current registration?
No. A transfer adds a full year on top of your existing expiry date, so nothing is wasted. That is why the transfer fee replaces a renewal rather than being an extra charge.
Can I transfer a domain that just expired?
Not while it is in redemption. Renew it with your current registrar first, wait for the status to clear, then start the transfer. Registries block transfers on expired domains.
Is there a charge to transfer?
Yes, one year at the transfer price shown on our domain pricing page — and that year is added to your existing expiry. We do not charge a separate handling fee on top.
Can you help if I get stuck?
Yes. Send us the domain and a screenshot of whatever your current registrar is showing, and we will tell you exactly which step is blocking it.
