Transferring a domain
How to transfer a domain to us or away from us: preparation, the EPP/auth code and what to expect.
A domain transfer changes the registrar where the domain is registered. This is not the same as changing nameservers: the site can stay where it is, and only who manages the registration changes. Transfer availability, price and rules depend on the domain extension (.hr, .com and others) and on the registrars. We will confirm the exact terms on request.
Transferring to us#
- Check the domain status at the current registrar: it must not be locked because of a recent registration or transfer.
- Unlock the domain (Domain lock / Transfer lock) at the current registrar.
- Request the EPP / auth code (transfer code) and save it.
- Check the domain's contact email, because confirmations are sent there.
- Request the transfer through a ticket or from the client portal: https://client.scyhost.com/.
- Confirm the transfer in the message that arrives at the contact email, if one is required.
Transferring away from us#
Request the EPP / auth code with a ticket and give it to the new registrar when ordering the transfer. Before starting, check that the domain is unlocked.
During a transfer the domain usually stays active. If something changes after the transfer, see Point your domain to ScyHost.
