To successfully complete your domain migration process,
The first step is to visit the domain transfer page at https://hostway.com/transfer.
Once there, you will need to start the domain transfer procedure by entering your domain name into the provided search field. After your domain appears in the search results, you will be prompted to enter your Transfer Authorization Code, which is essential to proceed with the transfer. This code is typically obtained from your current domain registrar and acts as a security measure to ensure that only authorized users can transfer the domain.
It is important to note that while domain transfers generally take between 5 to 7 days to complete, the process often finishes more quickly depending on various factors such as registrar responsiveness and domain status.
The second step, if you have more domain names that you wish to transfer to Hostway:
- Log in to SiteControl with your username and password.
- Click on the Domain Transfers menu located on the Home page.
- From the left-hand side menu, click on Transfer Domains.
- Enter 1 or more domains (separate with comma, semicolon or space) and click on the Transfer button.
- On the next page, enter the domain Authorization Codes (EPP) and click on Transfer.
- Choose the Lock status of the domain name and edit the WHOIS contact information if needed and click on Save and Continue.
- Check the box to Accept Registration Agreement and click on the Accept button.
- Click on Purchase Now to initiate the domain name transfers.
