Frequently Asked Questions
What is an authorization code?
An authorization code (also known as EPP code, transfer key, or auth code) is a unique code that verifies you own the domain and authorize its transfer. You can get this code from your current registrar.
How long does a transfer take?
Most domain transfers complete within 5-7 days. Some may take up to 14 days depending on the current registrar's policies. During this time, your website and email will continue to work normally.
Will I lose my website during the transfer?
No. Your DNS settings are preserved during the transfer, so your website, email, and other services will continue to work without interruption.
Can I transfer a recently registered domain?
ICANN rules require that domains be at least 60 days old before they can be transferred. If your domain was registered less than 60 days ago, you'll need to wait before initiating a transfer.
