How to transfer your domain name?

Domain transfer is a straightforward procedure. People do it for different reasons: some are not happy with their current domain register’s service, others were unpleasantly surprised by a price increase, and they decided to move to another.

Why should you move your domain name to ClouDNS

Risk-free transfer – If the process got interrupted, something happened that stopped you from transferring your domain, or you just quit, you will get your money back. You will not suffer any downtime during this time.

Free DNS account – You can use all features of our Free DNS and easily upgrade to some of our Premium plans.

Seamless transfer – Your domain name’s name servers are not altered anytime during the transfer process Hence your domain will not face ANY downtime during this process.

How to transfer your domain name

We will explain the necessary steps that you need to take to transfer your domain name to us:

1. Review your contact information with your current domain register. If you are using an e-mail from the domain you want to move, you better change to another mailbox like Gmail or Yahoo Mail. Like this, you won’t have problems with the next steps.

2. Request to unlock your domain. You should do it in the control panel of your current domain registrar.

3. Request the Authorization Code (transfer code; domain secret; EPP code) from your current domain registrar.

4. Be sure you haven’t moved your domain in the last 60 days, or you didn’t register it during that period. The international regulator ICANN doesn’t allow it.

5. Now go to our website and register or sign in to your account.  When you are done, select Transfer from the Dashboard. Add the domain name you want to transfer and check the Transfer Fee. There, you can see the future price for renewal. You will need to use the Authorization Code from step 3.

6. After confirming, you will get redirected to the cart. You will need to add your information. The fields with * are a must

7. Then you will need to choose a payment method (see the options).

8. Once the payment is completed and the transfer is started, your old registrar will contact you to verify the process.

9. You are done!

Welcome to ClouDNS! Now that you already successfully transferred your domain name, you can see other additional services that can come in handy like SSL certificates and Managed DNS services.
