To transfer a domain name from one host to another, follow these steps:
1. Unlock the domain: Login to your current hosting provider’s account and unlock the domain name you want to transfer.
1. Get the EPP code: also known as “domain authorization code” or “transfer Key.” You will need this to initiate the transfer.
1. Disable privacy protection: If you have privacy protection enabled for your domain, you will need to disable it in your account settings.
1. Purchase hosting with the new provider: Choose a new hosting provider and purchase a hosting plan.
1. Initiate the transfer: Sign in to your new host’s account and initiate the domain transfer by entering your domain name and EPP code.
1. Wait for the transfer: The process can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days or even a week, depending on the registrar. During this time, you should not make any changes to your domain name.
1. Verify the transfer: Once the transfer is complete, your new host will send you a confirmation email.
1. Update DNS records: Finally, you should update the DNS settings to point to the new server where your website will be hosted.
Note: it’s important to make sure that you have all the necessary information and have backed up website data before initiating the transfer to prevent any data loss.
