How to Move a Domain to a New Registrar

When to transfer and when not to

The transfer process step by step, registrar to registrar:

1. Confirm eligibility — the domain is over 60 days old, not past expiry, and not locked by a pending dispute.
2. Unlock the domain at the current registrar and disable WHOIS privacy if it masks the admin email.
3. Request the EPP/authorization code and keep it handy — the gaining registrar will ask for it.
4. Initiate the transfer at the gaining registrar (WebJi®'s domain transfer desk), paying the transfer fee, which typically includes a one-year extension.
5. Approve the confirmation email — unapproved transfers otherwise wait out 5-7 days.
6. Verify DNS and email still resolve after the switch; nameservers usually carry over untouched.

Email keeps flowing because DNS stays live at the old zone until the registry updates — the same principle changing nameservers relies on.

Pre-transfer checklist

Two practical notes on registrar transfer process: it interacts directly with caching and database response, and misconfiguration is the most common cause of 'hosting is slow' tickets. WebJi® support checks it as part of standard migrations.

The transfer process step by step

in versus gTLD differences

in and gTLD differences are not the same product. in is the option with less for you to operate. gTLD differences is the option with more control, and more that you have to look after.
