Introduction
A domain transfer is the process of moving your domain name from one registrar to another. Businesses often transfer domains for better pricing, customer support, or to consolidate all their services under one provider.
Steps to Transfer a Domain
-
Unlock Your Domain – Log into your current registrar and disable the transfer lock.
-
Get the Authorization Code (EPP Code) – Required to confirm ownership and allow transfer.
-
Verify Contact Information – Ensure your email and phone number are up to date for confirmation.
-
Start the Transfer with New Registrar – Enter the domain name and EPP code at your new provider (like CloudZanzibar).
-
Approve the Transfer – Confirm the transfer request via email or registrar panel.
-
Wait for Completion – Transfers usually take 3–7 days to finalize.
Why Transfer?
-
Lower renewal costs.
-
Access to better features (DNS management, hosting integration).
-
Local support that understands your business needs.
