Transferring your domain to GoPapa Reseller is a straightforward process, designed to simplify domain management while offering competitive pricing. This guide walks you through the process step by step, ensuring a smooth transition.
Step 1: Preliminary Checks and Requirements
Before initiating the transfer, ensure the following:
- Eligibility: Domains cannot be transferred within 60 days of registration, recent transfer, or certain updates to registrant information (e.g., changes to name or organization).
- Contact Information: Verify that the administrative contact email address associated with the domain is accurate. This email will receive critical notifications during the transfer.
- Domain Lock: Most domains are locked by default to prevent unauthorized transfers. You will need to unlock your domain through your current registrar’s dashboard.
- Authorization Code: Obtain the transfer authorization code (also known as an EPP code) from your current registrar. This code is essential to initiate the process.
Step 2: Preparing Your Domain for Transfer
- Disable Privacy Protection: If your domain has WHOIS privacy enabled, you will need to disable it temporarily. This allows GoPapa Reseller to access the necessary details for the transfer.
- Review Domain Status: Ensure the domain is active and not expired. Expired domains may require renewal with the current registrar before they can be transferred.
Step 3: Starting the Transfer on GoPapa Reseller
- Visit the GoPapa Reseller website and navigate to the domain transfer section.
- Enter your domain name and authorization code when prompted.
- Proceed to checkout to complete the initial steps.
Step 4: Approving the Transfer
- After initiating the transfer, an email will be sent to the administrative contact with a request for approval.
- Click the link in the email to confirm the transfer. Once confirmed, the process begins.
Step 5: Transfer Completion
The transfer typically takes 7-10 days to complete. During this period, GoPapa Reseller will handle the communication with your current registrar. Once finalized, the domain will appear in your GoPapa Reseller account, ready to be managed.
