How to Transfer Your Domain Name from Another Registrar to Your Egeset Account?

Secure and Smooth Migration

Transferring your domain name from another registrar to your Egeset account is the first step towards more efficient management of your web presence. Although this process requires the use of an EPP code (AuthCode) and some technical checks, it can be much simpler than you think with Egeset's easy steps and expert support. Here's how to move your domain name to Egeset and what you need to know:

Pre-Transfer Preparations for Your Domain Name

Before you begin transferring your domain name to Egeset, there are a few important checks and settings you need to complete with your current registrar. These steps ensure a fast and smooth transfer:

1. Unlock Your Domain Name (Disable Registrar Lock): Most domain names are locked to prevent unauthorized transfers. You'll need to log into your current domain registrar's control panel, find the option to "unlock transfer" or "disable registrar lock" next to the domain name you wish to transfer, and open this lock. A locked domain name cannot be transferred.

2. Obtain Your Domain Name Transfer Code (EPP Code / AuthCode): This code is a unique password that verifies you own the domain name. You can request or view this code directly from your current registrar's panel. It's often referred to as "EPP Code," "AuthCode," "Transfer Code," or "Authorization Code." You will need to enter this code when initiating the transfer with Egeset.

3. Check Your Administrative Email Address: Ensure that the administrative contact email address listed in your domain's WHOIS information is current and accessible. Approval and information emails will be sent to this email address throughout the transfer process. If WHOIS Privacy Protection is active, you may need to temporarily disable this feature during the transfer.

4. The 60-Day Rule: According to ICANN rules, a newly registered domain name or one that has been transferred within the last 60 days cannot be transferred again. Make sure your domain name complies with this rule.

5. Domain Expiration Time: If your domain name is very close to its expiration date (generally less than 7-10 days), the transfer process might be problematic. In this case, it's recommended to renew your domain name with your current registrar first, and then initiate the transfer.

Steps to Transfer Your Domain Name to Egeset

Once you've completed the preparations, the steps to transfer your domain name to your Egeset account are quite straightforward:

1. Log In to Your Egeset Account: Log into your Egeset client panel, or if you don't have an account yet, quickly create a new one.

2. Go to the Domain Transfer Page: Find the "Domain Transfer" section on the Egeset website or within your client panel.

3. Enter Your Domain Name and EPP Code: Enter the domain name you wish to transfer and the EPP code you obtained from your current registrar into the relevant fields.

4. Complete the Transfer Order: The transfer process usually involves adding 1 year to your domain's existing registration period, and a renewal fee is typically charged for this. Follow the order steps to complete the payment. By leveraging Egeset's competitive transfer prices, you also extend your domain's validity.

5. Transfer Confirmation Process: After completing the order, a confirmation email will be sent from your current registrar to the administrative email address associated with your domain (as listed in WHOIS information). You must follow the instructions in this email to approve the transfer. This approval is essential for initiating the transfer. In some cases, you might also receive an additional verification email from Egeset.

6. Completion of Transfer: Once the approval process is done, the transfer typically completes within 5 to 7 days. This timeframe depends on how quickly your old registrar responds to the transfer request and ICANN regulations. Once the transfer is complete, your domain name will appear as active in your Egeset account, and you'll be able to manage everything from your Egeset panel.
