Domain Transfer FAQs
Why is my domain locked
Domains are locked by registrars to protect them from unauthorized transfers. This is a security measure to prevent hijacking.
To transfer your domain, you’ll need to:
- Unlock it from your current registrar’s dashboard
- Disable any additional transfer protection features
How long does it take to transfer a domain?
Will my website go offline during a domain transfer?
No. Your website and email services remain active during a domain transfer, provided you:
- Keep your hosting unchanged
- Do not modify DNS settings during the transfer
After the transfer, DNS records will continue functioning as before.
Can I transfer an expired domain?
It’s possible to transfer an expired domain if:
- The domain is still in the grace period
- The current registrar allows the transfer
If the domain is in redemption, you’ll need to renew it first before transferring.
What happens to my emails during a domain transfer?
Email services using your domain are unaffected during the transfer as long as:
- MX records remain unchanged
- Your hosting or email provider is not moved
If you’re switching email hosting providers as well, you’ll need to update MX records after transfer.
What’s an EPP (Auth) code, and how do I get one?
An EPP (Authorization) code is a unique key required to transfer your domain between registrars.
To get it:
- Log into your current registrar’s control panel
- Locate “Transfer” or “Get EPP Code” option
- Request or copy the code
Some registrars send it via email for security verification.
Do I need to notify my current domain provider when transferring?
Not necessarily. The transfer process automatically notifies your current provider.
However, you must:
- Unlock the domain
- Obtain the EPP code
- Approve any emails requesting transfer confirmation
Can I transfer multiple domains simultaneously?
Yes. Many registrars, including Truehost, allow bulk transfers.
You’ll need to:
- Unlock all domains
- Obtain EPP codes for each
- Initiate the bulk transfer from the new registrar
Can a domain transfer be rejected or fail? Why?
Yes, common reasons include:
- Domain is locked
- Incorrect or missing EPP code
- Transfer not approved via confirmation email
- Domain is within 60 days of registration or previous transfer
- Outstanding payment or disputes with current registrar
Can domains be changed or altered during transfer?
No. The domain name itself cannot be altered. Only the registrar managing it changes.
You can:
- Update contact details
- Change DNS settings after the transfer is completed
What do I need to transfer my domain?
You’ll need:
- An unlocked domain
- EPP code from your current registrar
- Access to the domain’s administrative email
- No ongoing disputes or holds on the domain
What if I don’t know who my registrar is?
You can check your registrar using a WHOIS lookup tool. It will show:
- The current registrar
- Expiry date
- Contact information
Are there any limitations to transferring domains?
Yes, including:
- Domains less than 60 days old can’t be transferred
- Transfers between some registrars for certain country extensions (.ug, .co.ke, .uk, etc.) may have specific rules
- Domains under legal dispute or locked for security reasons cannot be moved
