Account: Transfer a Domain to Another Host

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.
- Click Domains in the left navigation menu.
- 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.
- 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.
- Once you've completed all 4 things, your domain is now ready to transfer out.
- Contact the new provider to start the transfer process with them.

It has been a few hours since I've made the appropriate changes. Does it just need more time or is there something else I need to do.
Thank you!

sever relationship with homestead, move domain, stop billings.
I purchased my domain name via homestead over a decade ago. I would like to use another host. I wish to transfer the name to the other host and completely sever my relationship with Homestead? IE no monthly fee or anything at all once the domain is moved? I see another has had a problem doing this so please tell me exactly how to go about this process.
