How to Transfer a Domain in 6 Steps

Preparation takes a few minutes; the registrars complete the rest between themselves.

1. Remove the transfer lock

Turn off the transfer lock (Registrar Lock) in your current provider's panel. The WHOIS output should no longer show clientTransferProhibited.

2. Get the EPP (Auth) code

Ask your current provider for the authorisation code of your domain. The code is case-sensitive; do not copy spaces at the start or end.

3. Start the request

Type your address in the box above, press Transfer, enter the EPP code in the cart and complete the order.

4. Check for the approval email

An approval email may be sent to the domain's admin email address. Approving it speeds things up, so make sure the email in WHOIS reaches you.

5. Completed within 5–7 days

The process between registrars usually takes 5–7 days. Meanwhile your website and email keep working with their current settings.

6. Check your settings

Once the transfer completes, the domain appears in your client area. Check the nameservers and DNS records and turn on auto-renew.

Frequently Asked Questions About Domain Transfers

Common questions about timing, fees, the EPP code and downtime

Usually 5–7 days. Approving the confirmation email quickly and your current provider accepting the request without waiting can shorten it.

No. As long as you do not change the nameservers or DNS settings, your website and email keep working. If your DNS records live on the old provider's servers, note them down before the transfer.

The EPP code is a password specific to your domain that authorises the transfer. You can get it from your current registrar's client area or support team. Share it only with your new registrar.

For most generic extensions (such as .com, .net and .org) the transfer fee adds a one-year extension to the domain's term, and you keep your remaining time. See the table on this page for current fees by extension.

Most extensions cannot be transferred within 60 days of registration or the last transfer. You can start the request once that period has passed.

Yes. .tr addresses move between registrars through TRABİS with a transfer code (auth code). See our .com.tr domain page for details.

Expired addresses, or those in the redemption period, usually have to be renewed with the current provider first. After renewing you can start the transfer request.

The most common reasons are a mistyped EPP code, a transfer lock left on (clientTransferProhibited), the 60-day rule and an unanswered approval email. Our ICANN domain status codes page explains what each status means.

What Is a Domain Transfer?

A domain transfer moves the management of a registered address from one registrar to another. You remain the owner; only the company that manages, renews and bills the address changes. Price, support quality or keeping all your services in one panel are the most common reasons to transfer.

What moves with your domain?

  • Ownership and registration details: The registrant does not change; the address stays registered in your name.
  • Remaining registration term: Kept. For most generic extensions (such as .com, .net and .org) a transfer adds one year to the current expiry date.
  • Nameserver settings: Carried over as they are, so your website and email are not interrupted during the transfer.

What does not move?

  • Hosting, email and SSL services: These are separate services and stay with your old provider. Plan them separately if you want to move them too.
  • Records on the old provider's DNS servers: If your domain uses your old provider's DNS service, note down your A, MX and TXT records before the transfer.
  • The old provider's privacy service: After the transfer you can turn on BurtiNET's free WHOIS privacy protection.

Requirements

For most extensions at least 60 days must have passed since registration or the last transfer. The transfer lock must be off, the EPP code correct and the address not suspended. For addresses that are about to expire or have already expired, you may need to renew with your current provider first. Our ICANN domain status codes page explains what the status codes in WHOIS output mean.

Transfers for .com.tr and .tr

.tr addresses are managed through TRABİS, the system run by Turkey's ICT Authority (BTK), and move between registrars with a transfer code (auth code). See our .com.tr domain page for documents, extensions and prices.

Once it completes

Once the transfer completes, renewals, DNS management and nameserver changes are handled in your client area. Looking for a new name? Check availability with our domain search tool.
