Transferring your domain is simple and only takes a few steps:
Why is my domain locked, and how do I unlock it?
Domains are typically locked as a security measure to prevent unauthorized transfers. To unlock it, log into your current registrar’s account, navigate to your domain management section, and look for an option to disable the transfer lock. This is usually a simple toggle switch.
How can I check if my domain is locked for transfer?
You can check your domain’s status by performing a WHOIS lookup. Look for a status such as “clientTransferProhibited” which indicates the domain is locked. You can also check your current registrar’s control panel under domain security settings.
What is an EPP (Authorization) code, and how do I get it?
An EPP code (also called an auth code or transfer key) is a security password required to authorize a domain transfer. You can obtain it from your current registrar, usually through your domain management panel. Most registrars provide an option to “Get Auth Code” or “Request Transfer Code” in their interface.
What information do I need to start a domain transfer?
You’ll need:
Are there any restrictions on which domains can be transferred?
Yes, common restrictions include:
Expired domains may have additional requirements
Domains registered within the last 60 days
Domains that have been transferred within the last 60 days
Domains with pending legal disputes
Can I transfer a domain that has recently expired?
It depends on how long it has been expired. Most domains have a 30-45 day grace period after expiration when they can still be renewed with the current registrar. After this period, additional steps may be required. Contact our support team for specific guidance on expired domains.
Will my website experience any downtime during the transfer?
Typically, no. Your website and email should continue working normally throughout the transfer process. We recommend keeping your nameservers unchanged during the transfer to ensure uninterrupted service.
What happens to my email accounts while the domain is transferring?
Your email services will continue working as long as your MX records remain unchanged. We recommend not making DNS changes during the transfer process to maintain service continuity.
Can I make changes to my domain settings during the transfer?
We recommend avoiding major changes to your domain settings, DNS records, or nameservers during the transfer process, as this could potentially interrupt the transfer.
No, you don’t need to contact them to start the transfer. However, you will need to unlock your domain and obtain the EPP code from their control panel. Some registrars may send a confirmation email that you’ll need to approve.
Is it possible to transfer multiple domains at the same time?
Yes, you can transfer multiple domains simultaneously through our bulk transfer option. Each domain will require its own EPP code, and you can manage the entire process through your Truehost UK account.
Can a domain transfer be rejected or fail? What are the common reasons?
Yes, transfers can fail for several reasons:
