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.

Finally it appears as though AmericanBuckskin.net is proceeding.
Still having problems with AmericanBuckskin.com and AmericanBuckskin.org
Can you see what I need to do to facilitate this transfer?

Every time I try to edit contact info it reverts back to emailnoreply@data-protected.net. I change the address, but the change does not stick.
Looking up domain it shows Domain Name: FRSANTOSMENDOZA.COM Creation Date: 2011-12-21T18:04:12

I am transferring my domain sunshinelawnandsnow.com to a new registrar. I've confirmed that the settings within my dashboard have domain privacy turned off, the domain is unlocked, and the correct e-mail address is listed in the contact information. However, the new registrar says they cannot e-mail the confirmation code because the WHOIS listing still shows the "privacy-protect" e-mail address. Over a week has passed since I updated the settings to unlock the domain for transfer.
Thanks!

Just one more step...
You have chosen to publish your site to an external domain you bought from another company. There are just a few more steps and you will be online with a secure site in no time.
- Log into your domain provider's website and change the domain's A Record.
- Wait 20 minutes for the site to be secured.
- Re-Publish your website. This will successfully install the SSL certificate.
For help, refer to the article Connect My Website to Another Domain1

Hi! I was wanting to switch my website over to a new host but keep the domain with homestead. Is that possible? And also once I complete the 4 steps shown will the website through homestead automatically be deleted?

I need help transferring our domain.
I click on "Domains" on the left menu
That's as far as I can go, I don't see "unlock domain", "disable privacy" etc.
Thanks!
