Transfer your domain to GlobalHostia
Keep your name, your website and your email. Only the company that manages the registration changes, and your domains, hosting and email end up in one client area.
Enter the domain you own. You add the authorization (EPP) code in the next step, and the transfer price is shown before you pay.
How a domain transfer works
Four steps, most of them at your current registrar. We are on hand by ticket and WhatsApp if any of them gets stuck.
Unlock the domain
At your current registrar, turn off the transfer lock (sometimes called registrar lock or client transfer prohibited).
Get the EPP or auth code
Request the authorization code from your current registrar. It is a password for the domain that proves you may move it.
Start the transfer here
Enter the domain above, add the code in the order form and check out. We then send the request to the registry.
Approve the transfer email
Your current registrar may email the domain contact to confirm. Approving it can let the transfer finish sooner.
How long it takes: most transfers of generic domains such as .com complete within 5 to 7 days of the request. The registry's rules set the timing, so some extensions, including many country-code domains, can be faster or slower.
Before you start
A few quick checks prevent nearly every delayed transfer.
- Older than 60 daysGeneric domains usually cannot move within 60 days of being registered or transferred. Country-code domains have their own rules.
- Contact email up to dateApproval messages go to the domain contact, so make sure that address is one you can read.
- DNS records copiedIf your current registrar also runs your DNS, note your records (or keep its nameservers) so the website and email stay online.
- Not expiredA domain that has expired or is in a redemption period usually has to be renewed or restored at the current registrar first.
What you get when the domain arrives
The same controls as every domain registered with us.
A year added where it applies
For most generic extensions, the registry adds one year to the registration when the transfer completes. Some country-code extensions work differently; we confirm before you pay.
DNS management
Edit A, CNAME, MX and TXT records to point your domain at any website, email or service.
Custom nameservers
Use our nameservers or keep your own, for example an external DNS or CDN provider.
Transfer lock
Keep the domain locked against unauthorized transfers, and unlock it only when you decide to move.
Renewal reminders
Email reminders before expiry, with auto-renew so your name never lapses by accident.
One client area
Domains, hosting, email and invoices together, with one login.
