Domain Name Transfer Information
Transferring a domain refers to relocating the billing of a domain name only. This process does not transfer your email accounts or website content, The DNS may need to be updated after the transfer. For more details, please refer to our Guide to Moving Hosting. If you want to transfer your email and website, please contact our sales team to arrange this. We will be happy to help.
Kindly note that domain transfers may take some time to complete. Please understand that Appalachia Domains cannot be held responsible for delays in transfers caused by errors made by third parties.
Domain Name Details
Transferring a domain is a straightforward process. We suggest planning ahead to ensure that you start the transfer well in advance of your domain renewal date.
First, you need to make sure that the details listed for your domain are accurate, especially the email address. You must have access to the domain’s admin contact email address to complete the transfer.
- Contact your current provider. If you don’t have access to the email address associated with the domain you want to transfer, you will need to update it.
- Next, request that your provider unlock the domain for transfer and give you an “authorization key” or “EPP code.”
- Complete your order via the transfer box above.
- Please regularly check the email address for the domain transfer (including your Junk Mail folder). The registrar will send an email to the email address that is registered to the owner of the domain name. An email is how the register verifies the transfer request; you must respond to this.
- If you have any questions or concerns about the progress of your transfer, feel free to contact Appalachia Domains’ helpline.
Note: Domains cannot be transferred between registrars until the domain is 60 days old.
