When you are transferring a domain registration from one provider to another, there are specific steps you will need to take to prepare your domain. Below are the details to prepare your domain for transfer with your current Registrar and then submit the transfer request with Enveospowerhost. Requirements may vary for some ccTLDs (for example .UK and .ES).
More details on the transfer process and on how to move from a specific Registrar can be found here.
Note: If your domain expired with your old Registrar and you renewed it with them, please do not transfer it within 45 days of the previous expiration date. Otherwise an extra year would not be added to your domain name since losing Registrar revokes renewal in such cases. And you’d lose renewal fees paid to the old Registrar.
Your website will experience no downtime if your domain is pointed
to your host's custom DNS servers (hosting or private nameservers). To minimize downtime during transfer in case your domain is using current Registrar's default DNS servers, please read this help article (optional).
Steps to move your domain registration to Enveospowerhost:
1. Verify that the domain name is eligible for transfer.
To make sure your domain name can be transferred, sign in to your current Registrar and check the following:
The initial registration of the domain name was at least 60 days ago and the domain has been with your current Registrar for at least 60 days:
Per ICANN's Policy on Transfer of Registrations between Registrars, domains that are less than 60 days old or were transferred between Registrars within the last 60 days cannot be transferred. Please wait at least 60 days before transferring.
The domain name is not on hold with your current Registrar.
2. Prepare your domain for transfer:
Disable Whois privacy protection tool or Private Registration for your domain;
Verify you have access to the email within the domain’s WHOIS Administrative contact;
Unlock your domain – remove the Registrar lock you may have set for added security;
Obtain the Auth/EPP code from the current Registrar:
Auth/EPP codes are required for all .com, .net, .org, .us, .biz, .info, .me, .co, .io, .ca, .tv, .in, .mobi, .cc, .pe, .com.pe, .net.pe, .org.pe, .tech, .top, .party, .loan, .faith and other new gTLD domains. If you cannot request an EPP code in account with your Registrar, contact them and ask to provide it to you.
3. Submit your transfer through your Enveospowerhost account:
Once logged in, select Domains from the top menu and select Transfer a Domain;
Enter your domain name & Auth/EPP code separated by a comma.
Example: domainname.com, E9R7;P402*4HS73:
Click 'Start Transfer' and Enveospowerhosts system will verify the domain is ready for transfer and return the results;
Click 'Add to Cart';
Enter any coupon codes you may have and click 'Apply';
Proceed to Checkout.
4. Check your email for the verification request:
The email will be sent to the Administrative contact on your domain’s WHOIS. It is sent from donotreply@name-services.com (or support@enveospowerhost.com) email address. This may take a few hours to arrive (and please be sure check your spam folders just in case). If you have not received this within a few hours of your initial request, please contact support for assistance.
