What this guide is
WebJi wrote this page. WebJi is not GoDaddy, and this is not their support desk. The names are used only to identify the products. Their phone numbers, chat lines and support email addresses are not published here.
A domain transfer moves the registration. It does not, by itself, move the website or the email. Those follow the nameservers. On 29 October 2026 GoDaddy's India domains page showed .com at ₹899 for one year and .in at ₹299 for one year, and did not print a renewal on that landing page. The transfer fee you pay is the gaining registrar's fee, not that first-year advertisement.
Unlock the domain and copy the code
In your GoDaddy account, open the domain and turn the registrar lock off. Copy the authorization code, also called an EPP or auth code. The code is a setting on the domain. This page does not click through GoDaddy's menus, because those menus change, and it does not list a number to call.
If the lock will not turn off, the status line on that same screen is the reason. Common reasons are a recent registration, a recent transfer, or a hold. Read the status. Do not start a transfer you already know will be refused.
The 60-day rule, and why .in is different
.com and other generic endings follow ICANN's transfer policy. A transfer can be refused in the first 60 days after the domain was registered, and again in the 60 days after a transfer. Registrar lock and the authorization code are the two controls you can see in the account.
.in is a country-code name under NIXI's rules, not that ICANN document. The status GoDaddy shows on the .in domain is the one to trust. Do not assume the .com 60-day clock is the .in clock.
DNS can stay where it is
When you start the transfer, leave the nameservers as they are unless you also mean to move the website that day. A transfer updates the registrar. The website keeps working as long as the nameservers still point at the host that has the files.
If you want the site to move too, do that as its own change, after a copy exists on the new host. Mixing both on the same hour makes it harder to see which change broke mail. Changing nameservers is the hosting half.
What you pay, and what arrives in email
You pay the gaining registrar's transfer price. For .com, a completed transfer usually adds one year to the expiry, and the expiry cannot go past 10 years. If the domain is already near that cap, the year may not be added. Read the gaining side's price before you submit the code.
The registrar you are leaving sends a confirmation message to the registrant email address on the domain. If that inbox is dead, the transfer stalls. Update the registrant email before you start, and read that mailbox for the next several days. Transfers often finish inside a week. The exact day is not something this page can promise.
Starting the transfer at WebJi
If the gaining registrar is WebJi, the order starts on the domain transfer page. You will need the unlocked domain and the code. WebJi's indicative domain ranges are on the domain registration page and are not GoDaddy's prices. Any other registrar's transfer form works with the same code.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a transfer take the website down?
Not if the nameservers stay pointed at the current host. The transfer changes who the registrar is. The host changes only when nameservers or the A record change. Leave DNS alone on transfer day if the site is fine where it is.
What is the 60-day lock?
For .com and similar endings, ICANN's policy lets a transfer be refused in the 60 days after registration and in the 60 days after a previous transfer. .in follows NIXI's rules. Read the status on the domain rather than assuming the clocks match.
Where do I get the authorization code?
On the domain's page inside your GoDaddy account, after the lock is off. It is not issued by WebJi, and this article does not contain GoDaddy's support number. The code is what you paste into the gaining registrar's form.
How much does the transfer cost?
The gaining registrar's transfer price. GoDaddy's India domains page on 29 October 2026 showed a first-year .com at ₹899 and did not show a renewal or a transfer-out fee on that landing page. Do not use ₹899 as the transfer price unless the gaining cart says so.
Who emails me to approve it?
The registrar you are leaving, to the registrant email address on the domain. If you cannot open that mailbox, fix the email address first. A transfer started to a dead inbox sits unfinished.
Can I transfer to someone other than WebJi?
Yes. The unlock and the code are the same. Paste them into whichever gaining registrar you chose. The WebJi transfer page is only the form for a transfer to WebJi.
