How to transfer a domain to a new hosting provider?

Transferring a domain is easy, but does require some preparation. Depending on the domain suffix the procedure may be different.
You can check the current registration data for your domain in the Who.is database.

If you are not the domain owner, you can ask the domain owner to handover the ownership or to request the transfer code for you.

1. Check the current status and registration details of your domain.
Before you start a transfer, please contact your current hosting provider and ask them to:
- Check the current registration details of your domain and update them if needed.
- Send a transfer code to confirm the transfer, also known as auth id, EPP code or Token.
- Remove the Registrar Lock, in case there is one.

2. Submit the transfer code to the new hosting provider.
