Turn off the domain lock
Log in at your current registrar and turn off the domain lock. A locked domain cannot move.
Get the authorization code
Ask your current registrar for the authorization code. Keep it ready.
Start the transfer in our cart
Enter the domain name and the code in our transfer page.
We finish it by hand
We check the transfer and complete it. Call us if the registrar sends you an email to approve it.
Why we do it by hand
We do every domain purchase and every domain transfer by hand. We check each one before we finish it.
This reduces fraud and keeps your move smooth. A common mistake is a locked domain or a wrong code, and we catch that for you.

The transfer is free for normal-size WordPress websites. Otherwise it is $199 one time.
Non-CMS hosting for plain HTML or PHP sites is $129 a year. Hosting includes free SSL, daily backups, security monitoring and 99.999% uptime. Every order is backed by our Quality Assurance Promise.
