Domain Transfer

What is a domain transfer?

A domain transfer is the process of moving a registered domain name from one domain registrar to another. Some common reasons for domain owners to transfer their domain(s) are wanting to consolidate their domain portfolio under a single registrar or taking advantage of better pricing or services offered by another registrar.

The exact process works in a slightly different way depending on the extension of the domain name that you are transferring. You may need to fill in a form, verify your transfer request by email, or request an authorization code from your current registrar to initiate a transfer. Depending on the domain extension, the process can take between a few minutes and a few weeks to be completed. Domain transfers usually come at a fee.

Example:

If you want to transfer your domain from another domain registrar to Openprovider, you can start a new transfer through our control panel. You may need need to enter the EPP code you received from your current registrar. Once you start the transfer, you will need to confirm the transfer request via email. You may also possibly need to pay a fee at your current registrar. After the process is completed, your domain is transferred to Openprovider and you can manage it through our control panel.
