You can move a domain you already own to ASRHost and keep its name. Domain transfers are ordered like any other domain.
Before you start
At your current registrar:
- Unlock the domain.
- Request the transfer authorization code (EPP or auth code). Some extensions do not require one. The order page tells you.
- Make sure the contact email on the domain is one you can read.
- Note the nameservers your site uses now, so you can enter them during the order.
Order the transfer
- Open New order » Transfer a domain in the client area (or Domains » Transfer a domain). On the page that opens, click Start a domain transfer.
- Enter the domain name, for example
example.com, and choose Transfer under What would you like to do?. - Click Check availability and price. The page shows the transfer price, the current renewal price and any registry requirements. A transfer adds the shortest registration term the extension allows.
- Add the domain to your cart and continue to checkout.
- In the checkout, fill in:
- Domain owner: the contact details of the person or company that owns the domain.
- Nameservers: at least two, for example the ones your hosting provider gave you.
- Transfer authorization code (EPP): required for most extensions. It is stored encrypted and used only for this transfer.
- Pay the invoice.
The transfer starts after your payment is confirmed. The domain shows Pending Transfer under Domains » My domains until the transfer finishes. You get an email when it is complete, and the domain becomes Active.
Transfer several domains at once
Use Bulk transfer to add up to 50 domains. Enter one domain per line as domain.com,EPP_CODE (or upload a two-column CSV file), then click Validate & add transfers to cart.
If the transfer cannot be ordered
- "This domain is not registered, so it cannot be transferred." Check the spelling of the name.
- "This domain or registration term needs assistance from our domain team." Open a support ticket with the domain name.
- If we do not sell the extension, the page says so and lists the extensions you can order.
Transferring a domain and moving a website are separate tasks. Confirm your existing DNS and email settings before you make changes.
