TRANSFER DOMAIN:
If you contact your domain registrar, they should be able to get the domain ready for transfer and send you an authorization code. Then, you add the domain to your Homestead account under "Use a Domain I Already Own" in the Domains tab and input the Authorization Code. The process takes 5-7 days to complete.

TRANSFER DOMAIN TO ANOTHER HOST:

Hello Good Day!

Please follow the steps provided in the link below. Thank you.

Here are instructions to transfer your domain to another provider.

Note: ICANN regulations require domains to be with a provider for 60 days before they can be transferred to a new hosting company. Therefore, you can only transfer your domain name to another host if it's been with us for 60 days.

    1. Click Domains in the left navigation menu.

    2. Scroll down to your domain name. There are 4 things you need to do before you start the transfer.

        • Edit Contact Info -- Make sure your email address is listed as the administrative contact. The authorization code (sometimes referred to as an EPP code or Domain password) will be sent to that email.

          **IMPORTANT- IF YOU CHANGE THE EMAIL ON FILE FOR YOUR DOMAIN**
          Please follow the instructions in this article:
          Important Domain Information



        • Unlock Domain -- Click Edit Domain Locking link and make sure your domain is unlocked.



        • Disable Privacy -- Click Show Privacy Status and confirm it's disabled or off.



        • Send Authorization Code -- Click Email your authorization code link. The next page will confirm the email address it will be sent to. Click Send to confirm.


    3. Once you've completed all 4 things, your domain is now ready to transfer out.

    4. Contact the new provider to start the transfer process with them.
