1. Verify that the domain name is eligible for transfer.
To make sure your domain name can be transferred, sign in to your current Registrar and check the following:
- The initial registration of the domain name was at least 60 days ago and the domain has been with your current Registrar for at least 60 days.
- The domain name is not on hold with your current Registrar.
2. Prepare your domain for transfer:
- Unlock your domain – remove the Registrar lock you may have set for added security
- Obtain the Auth/EPP code from the current Registrar. If you cannot request an EPP code in account with your Registrar, contact them and ask to provide it to you.
3. Submit your transfer through your Host Pillar account:
- Once logged in, select Domains from the top menu(store) and select Transfer Domain to Us.
- Enter your domain name & EPP code or Auth code.
- Click the yellow 'Add to Cart' button and proceed with the checkout.
Shortly after order submission, the transfer gets initiated at the Registry, and the domain acquires 'pending transfer' status. Transfers that have reached this stage are automatically confirmed within 5 days. Finally, it may take additional 24-48 hours for the Registry to complete the transfer.
