Domain Transfer
You can easily transfer your domain from your current registrar to 123eHost. This process adds an extra year to your domain’s original registration term. For instance, if your domain is set to expire in 6 months, transferring it to 123eHost will extend its expiration date to 1 year and 6 months from now.
How to transfer a domain from another registrar to 123eHost, follow these steps:
- Unlock the Domain: Log in to your current domain registrar’s account and unlock the domain you wish to transfer. This step is essential as domains are often locked by default to prevent unauthorized transfers.
- Get the Authorization Code (EPP Code): Request the EPP code (authorization code) from your current registrar. This code is necessary for the transfer process and is used to verify your ownership of the domain.
- Verify Contact Information: Ensure that the administrative contact information for the domain is up-to-date. The transfer process will send verification emails to this address, so it needs to be correct.
- Initiate the Transfer with 123eHost: Click here and enter your domain name and the EPP code to start the transfer process.
- Approve the Transfer: After initiating the transfer, you will receive an email from both your current registrar and 123eHost. Follow the instructions in these emails to approve the transfer.
- Wait for the Transfer to Complete: The transfer process usually takes between 5 to 7 days. During this time, your domain will remain active, and you should experience no downtime.
- Confirm the Transfer: Once the transfer is complete, you will receive a confirmation email from 123eHost. Your domain registration period will be extended by one year, ensuring your domain remains active.
By following these steps, you can smoothly transfer your domain to 123eHost and enjoy extended registration and reliable domain management services.
