How to Transfer a Domain

Transfer your domain from another registrar to NexusHost.

Prerequisites

Before initiating a transfer:

โ€ขDomain must be at least 60 days old
โ€ขDomain must not be in a locked state
โ€ขYou must have the EPP/Auth code from your current registrar
โ€ขDomain must not be expired

Step 1: Unlock Your Domain

At your current registrar, disable the transfer lock (also called "Registrar Lock").

Step 2: Get the Auth Code

Request the EPP/Authorization code from your current registrar. They may email it to you.

Step 3: Initiate Transfer

1.Go to Dashboard โ†’ Domains
2.Click "Transfer Domain"
3.Enter your domain name
4.Enter the EPP/Auth code
5.Proceed to payment

Step 4: Confirm Transfer

You'll receive an email to approve the transfer. Click the confirmation link.

Step 5: Wait for Completion

Transfers typically take 5-7 days. During this time:

โ€ขYour domain continues to work normally
โ€ขDNS settings are preserved
โ€ขYou'll get email updates on progress

Important Notes

โ€ขTransfers extend your domain by 1 year
โ€ขSome TLDs (.uk, .de) have different transfer processes
โ€ขContact support if transfer takes longer than 14 days
