TL;DR

Why Transfer Your Domain?

Managing your domain and hosting in one place simplifies your life. It means one bill, one support team, and one dashboard for all your digital assets. At AmanaFlow, we provide a seamless transfer experience for .com, .net, .org, and more.

Before You Start: The 60-Day Rule

Per ICANN rules, you cannot transfer a domain if it was registered or transferred within the last 60 days. Ensure your domain is "mature" before starting.

The 4-Step Transfer Process

1. Prepare at Your Current Registrar

Unlock the Domain: Set the status to "Off" for Registrar Lock.
Disable Privacy Protection: Turn off WHOIS privacy so we can verify ownership.
Request EPP Code: This is your unique "transfer password."

2. Order the Transfer at AmanaFlow

Go to our Domain Transfer Page and enter your domain name. You will be asked to provide the EPP code you just received.

3. Approve the Email

Check your email inbox. You will receive an authorization request. Click the link to confirm you want to proceed.

4. Wait for Completion

Once approved, the registrars handle the rest. Most transfers complete in 5 working days. Your website and email will stay online the entire time if your nameservers are already pointed correctly.

Propagation and Renewals

When you transfer a domain to AmanaFlow, we typically add 1 year of renewal to your current expiration date automatically!
