HOW TO TRANSFER DOMAIN TO ANOTHER HOSTING COMPANY
A domain can be pointed to another website host by using a nameserver change https://community.homestead.com/conversations/domain-support/account-update-nameservers/5f2a9aec5818095884557442 or altering the DNS records https://community.homestead.com/conversations/account-billing/account-editview-dns-records/5f2a9b3a58180958845ee4fb.

If you want that company to become the new host/registrar for the domain you can compete a domain transfer which can take 5- 7 days to complete. https://community.homestead.com/conversations/domain-support/account-transfer-a-domain-to-another-host/5f2a9a855818095884490a40

@elyzabethv​ I have done the steps but I don't get step 4
​Contact the new provider to start the transfer process with them.​

Does it mean I will need to tell Namecheap? which is where I want to transfer to to start the transfer

Yes, if you're transferring to Namecheap, you'll need to contact them at that point to start the transfer on their end.

@elyzabethv​ Thank you,

I did that since Friday and the transfer has been on "Awaiting release from the previous registrar".

How long does it take for the transfer process to be done??

@kemi2277​ 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.

Thank you for your response

I'm transferring from homestead to Namecheap, but it has not been completed for over 3 days. Is there a way to fast-track the process?
