Verified Knowledge
Quick Summary: Transferring a domain involves 3 steps: Unlock your domain at your current registrar, get the EPP/Auth code, and place a transfer order at AmanaFlow. The process takes 5-7 days to complete.
Why Transfer Your Domain?
Managing your domain and hosting in one place simplifies your life. It means one bill, one support team, and one dashboard for all your digital assets. At AmanaFlow, we provide a seamless transfer experience for .com, .net, .org, and more.
Before You Start: The 60-Day Rule
Per ICANN rules, you cannot transfer a domain if it was registered or transferred within the last 60 days. Ensure your domain is "mature" before starting.
The 4-Step Transfer Process
1. Prepare at Your Current Registrar
Log in to your current provider (e.g., Godaddy, Namecheap) and:
- Unlock the Domain: Set the status to "Off" for Registrar Lock.
- Disable Privacy Protection: Turn off WHOIS privacy so we can verify ownership.
- Request EPP Code: This is your unique "transfer password."
2. Order the Transfer at AmanaFlow
Go to our Domain Transfer Page and enter your domain name. You will be asked to provide the EPP code you just received.
3. Approve the Email
Check your email inbox. You will receive an authorization request. Click the link to confirm you want to proceed.
4. Wait for Completion
Once approved, the registrars handle the rest. Most transfers complete in 5 working days. Your website and email will stay online the entire time if your nameservers are already pointed correctly.
Propagation and Renewals
When you transfer a domain to AmanaFlow, we typically add 1 year of renewal to your current expiration date automatically!
