This detailed guide elaborates on the process of transferring a domain name from another provider to Hostwek.
Verifying Domain Transfer Eligibility To initiate a domain transfer to Hostwek, certain prerequisites must be met:
- Domain Registration Timeline: Confirm that the domain hasn’t been registered or transferred within the last 60 days.
- Whois/Privacy Protection: Deactivate any active Whois or Privacy Protection services.
- Registrant Email Access: Ensure you have access to the domain’s registrant email address.
- Domain Status: Verify that the domain is not in a ‘Redemption Grace Period’ or ‘Pending Delete’ state.
Preparing Your Domain for Transfer Before proceeding with the transfer, you must:
- Unlock the Domain: Remove any Registrar lock set for security purposes.
- Obtain the Auth/EPP Code: This is a critical step. Auth/EPP codes are mandatory for all domains, including but not limited to .com, .net, .org, and various new gTLD domains. If you are unable to request an EPP code from your current Registrar’s account interface, contact them directly for assistance.
Initiating a Domain Transfer from Your Hostwek Account With the EPP code in hand and ensuring the domain is unlocked and privacy disabled, you can begin the transfer process:
- Visit Hostwek’s Domain Transfer page, enter the domain name and the EPP code provided by your current registrar.
- Click “Order Now” to proceed.
- If prompted about hosting services, select your preference and then click “Continue” to proceed solely with the domain transfer.
- Finally, click the ‘Checkout’ button to submit your domain transfer request.
Domain Transfer Timeline
