I had to move one of my domain from some Xhosting to some other hosting and i face some problems, for newbies it may be defficulat to understand how the domain can be transfered. But I successfully did it, so i want to make it easy for all. One more thing if you have couple of domain names, it is better to keep all of them in a single registrar. Hear is the steps those are common and can be applied to all the top domain registrars.

1. Request Authorization Code At Current Registrar

just Login to your current registrar account and then request for Authorization Code. But remember you should have turned off the domain protection or your domain should be unlocked before requesting the authorization code from the current registrar. Then the current registrar will send you an email with “Authorization Code” in it. Now you can begin the domain transfer from the new registrar using the authorization code.

Now Login to your new registrar. Then the new registrar will display the status as “Authorization Required” and choose “ Begin Transfer Authorization”(Recommended). Just enter the authorization code that you received from the current registrar through mail as i said above and complete the process. After completing this step, the status will be displayed as “Pending Current Registrar approval” and choose “Accept transfer at current registrar” (Recommended).

Finally you will get a confirmation email from your new registrar received approximately four days after initiating the transfer at the current registrar. Remember that the current registrar has up to 5 days to release the transfer of the domain. So don’t worry just wait
