Below are some few simple steps to move your domain.

1. 1. 1. Get a valid domain by verifying that you’ve registered it for a minimum of 60 days. That is standard regardless of where you need to move it.
      2. Validate your domain after confirming administrator’s/domain owner’s email alongside other contact information on the account. After move to the next stage.
      3. From your losing domain host request a transfer code or EPP code which you’ll receive via email. Note, only the authorised person or domain owner can transfer a domain.
      4. Using the EPP code received, register for Hosting.co.uk’s transfer domain service.
      5. Enter the domain you intend to move alongside the EPP code. At this stage, you can choose to keep or change your nameservers.
         a) Keep my current nameservers. Sticking with your registrar’s default nameservers will guarantee no interference on your site during the exchange.
         b) Change to Hosting.co.uk's nameservers. The ideal option to manage all your domains and account details in one location.
      6. Allow 5 - 7 days on average to complete the domain transfer.
      7. Monitor your domain transfer process from your account and get immediate access upon completion.

Your domain can be moved almost any time once it is outside the 60 days of its registration, according to ICANN.

The unique password to move your domain is called EPP authorization code. Your EPP code is listed under the dashboard to manage your domains or in the email related to that domain, after requesting the code from your present registrar.

Domain transfer takes 5 - 7 days on average to complete, although some domain extensions can take shorter periods, making the process take anywhere from 30 mins to 7 days. By logging to your Hosting.co.uk cPanel you can monitor this process.

Certainly! By logging into your hosting.co.uk account, you can monitor the status of the domain you are transferring under ‘manage my services’ tab. The status will give details as to where you are in the transfer process and which email address is associated with your domain name.

Definitely. First, you need to unlock the domain at your registrar and solicit your EPP code. Next, start the domain transfer process at Hosting.co.uk once EPP code has been successfully acquired. If you require any assistance, contact us.
