How It Works

Prepare your domain at the current registrar

Obtain the EPP/Auth code

Request the EPP/Auth code from your existing registrar and copy it exactly. This code is required to authorize the transfer to PoddyHost.

Initiate the transfer in your PoddyHost account

Sign in at PoddyHost, enter the domain and EPP code, and complete the checkout. PoddyHost will send confirmation emails to the admin contact.

Confirm and wait for completion

Quick prep guide before transferring a domain to PoddyHost

Before you start the transfer process, confirm the domain is eligible: it must be older than 60 days and not locked by a registrar dispute. Make sure the domain’s admin email is current so you can receive transfer confirmation messages.

Turn off WHOIS privacy, unlock the domain, and request the EPP/Auth code from your current registrar. Leave existing DNS settings in place so your website and email remain uninterrupted during the transition.
