To transfer a domain from one registrar to another, you will need to follow these steps:

  1. Check if the domain is eligible for transfer: Some domains have restrictions on them that prevent them from being transferred. For example, certain generic top-level domains (gTLDs) like .com and .net have a 60-day transfer lock after the initial registration or a transfer, during which time the domain cannot be transferred. Other domains may have longer or shorter transfer lock periods, so it is important to check with both the current and the new registrar to see if the domain is eligible for transfer.

  2. Unlock the domain: If the domain is currently locked, you will need to unlock it before you can transfer it. This can usually be done through the current registrar's website or by contacting their customer support.

  3. Obtain the domain's authorization code (also known as an EPP code or transfer code): This is a unique code that is required to transfer a domain from one registrar to another. You can usually obtain the authorization code from the current registrar's website or by contacting their customer support.

  4. Initiate the transfer with the new registrar: Once you have the authorization code, you can initiate the transfer process with the new registrar. This is typically done through their website, where you will be asked to enter the domain name, the authorization code, and some other information.

  5. Approve the transfer: After initiating the transfer, you will typically receive an email from the current registrar with a link to a transfer approval form. You will need to follow the link and approve the transfer to complete the process.

  6. Wait for the transfer to complete: The transfer process can take several days to complete, depending on the registrars involved. During this time, the domain will remain with the current registrar and will not be available for use by the new registrar. Once the transfer is complete, the new registrar will become the official registrar for the domain, and you will be able to manage it through their website or customer support.

Note: Some registrars may charge a fee for transferring a domain to their service. Be sure to check with both the current and the new registrar to see if there are any fees involved in the transfer process.
