Transferring Your Domain Registration to Ultra Web Hosting

You can transfer your domain registration to us so everything is managed in one place. Here is the process.

Before You Begin

At your current domain registrar, complete these steps first:

Unlock the domain - Look for a "Domain Lock" or "Transfer Lock" setting and turn it off
Get your EPP/authorization code - This is a unique code that authorizes the transfer. Your registrar should have an option to email it to you or display it in your dashboard.
Disable WHOIS privacy (if applicable) - The transfer approval email needs to reach you
Verify the admin email - Make sure the email address on the domain WHOIS record is one you can access

Starting the Transfer

Log into your client area at my.ultrawebhosting.com
Go to Domains > Transfer Domains to Us
Enter your domain name and EPP code
Complete the payment (transfer fee covers one additional year of registration)
Approve the transfer confirmation email when it arrives

Timeline

Domain transfers typically complete within 5 to 7 days after approval. Your website and email will continue working normally during the transfer as long as the nameservers remain unchanged.

If you need help with any step, open a support ticket with your domain name and we will guide you through it.
