Moving your domain to WebAnchor is simple and your website stays live throughout the entire process. Transfers typically complete within 5 days and most domains receive a free one-year renewal as part of the transfer.
Log in to your current registrar and disable the domain lock (also called Registrar Lock or Transfer Lock).
Request your EPP / Authorization code from your current registrar. This is required to authorise the transfer.
Contact us or place a transfer order and provide your EPP code. We will start the transfer immediately.
Approve the transfer email sent to the domain's admin contact. Your domain transfers within 5 days.
You must be the owner or admin contact of the domain. Your email address must be listed and active in the WHOIS record so you can receive and approve the transfer confirmation email.
Domain Lock must be disabled before submitting the transfer. Log in to your current registrar to check and disable the lock.
The domain must not be expired. Expired domains enter a Redemption Period and cannot be transferred until they are renewed or restored.
The domain must be more than 60 days old from the date of registration or a previous transfer. ICANN requires this waiting period between transfers.
A valid EPP / Authorization code is required. Obtain this from your current registrar before initiating the transfer.
One-Year Renewal Included: In most cases, your domain registration is automatically extended by one year from its current expiry date at no additional cost as part of the transfer process.
Domain Transfer Out Fee: $15 USD — applicable when transferring a domain away from WebAnchor to another registrar.
If your domain is registered with a registrar that partners with WebAnchor's registry, you may be eligible for a domain push instead of a full registrar transfer. A push moves the domain between accounts instantly, without a renewal fee or waiting period.
The following registrars support domain push to WebAnchor:
Most domain transfers complete within 5 days. In some cases it may take up to 7 days depending on your current registrar's processing time. Your domain remains fully active and accessible throughout the entire transfer process.
Yes. For most domain extensions, the transfer automatically adds one year to the current expiration date at no additional charge. This is a standard part of the ICANN transfer policy for most TLDs.
An EPP code (also called an Auth code or Transfer code) is a unique security password assigned to your domain by your current registrar. It is required to verify that you authorise the transfer. Contact your current registrar's support team to request it.
The transfer confirmation email is sent to the admin contact email listed in the WHOIS record. If that email is no longer accessible, you must update it with your current registrar before initiating the transfer, otherwise the transfer request may be denied or expire.
A domain push moves a domain between two accounts within the same registrar network — instantly and without a renewal fee. If your current registrar is listed above as a push-compatible partner, a push is faster and simpler than a full registrar transfer.
