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.

I never recieved a transfer email from homestead to authorize my domain transfer. after 7 days the email timed out. I got the following directions to follow:
You can contact us if you would like to resubmit your
domain transfer request. To contact us:
-Login to your account
-Click Help -> View Help in the upper right of the
window
-Click any Help topic
-At the bottom of the topic, click "Check out our other
Help options"
Not sure where are what this link is. Not sure how to get my transfer in motion.
Thanks

I need to start a new domain transfer and every-time I try to contact someone from homestead, Im put on hold for a long period of time, I cant even reach someone in the live chat. I have to talk to someone from homestead to start the transfer and it is getting ridiculous how hard it is to get help. Im starting to think I need to get a new website creator and cancel my homestead account... This really starting to hurt my business..

I'm looking at different SEO packages with a variety of different companies. All would want to switch to their own hosting service. What is the procedure (in simple terms please) for doing this and what is the cost?

I have had a site I created on Homestead for a few years and was pretty good - got into google #1 maplisting for my area (the url, that is) I have just had a local company design me a new intertactive site that is now connected with my domain name url. Therefore I want to now cancell my homestead service however ensure that it does not interupt my new website or the domain name, which i believe should not change as I own it.
So basically i want to cancell my homestead service.

Most of my domains are listed as "pointed domain"
I only have one that is not marked as a pointed domain, that one shows me the options to unlock, delete, etc.
Any help would be appreciated
