hello internet people in this video I'll
show you how you can move a domain from
GoDaddy to another host like Namecheap
after this video your domain will be
fully transferred to another host and
you don't need to renew your domain I'd
go dead anymore
Arnie what do you say to GoDaddy after
this video
hasta la vista baby punch before we
start I need to mention you a few things
that can limit your transfer basically
this applies to all hosting providers if
you buy a domain and tomorrow you want
to transfer to a new host it won't be
possible you have to wait for the 60
days also if you've just transferred the
domain from another host and now you
want to transfer again that's not
possible the limit is 60 days you can
still point the dns to another host but
you just can't transfer the whole domain
to new host and you need to make sure
that your domain is unlocked to transfer
usually this is easy to disable and I'll
show you in this video how to do it
alright let's get started so first just
sign in to your GoDaddy account
[Music]
and here in your products you see
domains you can also get there from the
Quick Links here
and just go domains as you can see I'm
going to move this domain as its
expiring and I want to have the benefits
of Namecheap like the free Privacy
Protection it's free it's free free
Privacy Protection so I'm gonna make
sure that the auto renewals off you can
do it by clicking on this link and then
select the ones you don't want Auto
renew so let's cancel it I've selected
this one and then click cancel cancel
renewal
[Music]
then you can reply this question there
all the way let's get going and now you
can go back to home and domains so if
you don't see this table this blue one
then just scroll up here and then click
on these three thingies whatever they
are Arnie how do you call this thing is
from laughs will be for win and then you
will see this view then just scroll down
and what's important here is that you
check that your privacy and that the
domain is not locked so first in my case
I don't have privacy settings on this
one not available but if you have you
need to switch it off and you can switch
it off by going to the domain itself and
you can remove the privacy protection by
clicking on this one so what GoDaddy
does is it doesn't allow you to add it
back which is kind of yeah well it's not
so nice so if you remove it be sure that
you're actually transferring your domain
to another host so in my case I'm not
moving this one I just want to show you
the how you can remove it so let's go
back to the domains
[Music]
and the second field you need to worry
about is the look so in my case I want
to unlock this domain I actually unlock
it and now it's unlocked now you have to
wait until you receive an email from
GoDaddy verifying that the lock has been
unlocked and until then I'll pause the
video Arnie how's my English you should
not drink alright in my case actually
the email came almost instantly so we
can continue with the video the basic in
it just taste it
the domain is unlocked what before we go
to Namecheap let's double check that
your email is actually the correct email
so just go to the to the domain and then
double check your contact details the
email that you have there make sure that
something you can access if you can't
then you need to change your contact
information Namecheap will send some
emails to that address and you need to
confirm that you actually own that email
all right so let's go to Namecheap and
then we need to sign in alright then go
to domains and transfer then type in
your domain and click on transfer and as
you can see GoDaddy and domain is
unlocked
that's great and if we scroll down as
you can see this will cost you but the
great thing about this one is it all
actually extends your domain by a year
so this domain is actually expiring very
soon and if I do it with namecheap they
will just extend the expiry date so you
can keep more money in your pocket like
this guy
[Music]
so the next thing we have to do is
basically get the authorization code to
do this whole process and you get it
from GoDaddy so just go to domain
manager so I'm already in the domain
settings and then if you scroll down
here you can see that you have this
field get authorization code just click
on it so now it just states that it's
been sent to my email and indeed it's
almost instant so I've received the
authorization code so I'm gonna copy it
and then call back to Namecheap and
paste it here and then just add it to
your cart deuteron and as you can see
you'll have to pay about nine bucks then
click on View cart and let's just double
check if there's any promise from
Namecheap for the domains so just grab
the URL here and add slash promos at the
end there's a lot of them here just
search for domain
and here they have save on Tom's just
copy it and then paste it in the promo
code field and apply and I got what was
that four cents of this Cup awesome
maybe in your case it will actually work
better just supporter and the other
renewal enabled and then obviously the
Whois guard just keep it enabled this is
the privacy protection that Namecheap
provides for free whereas him
GoDaddy you have to actually pay for it
so let's confirm the order just fill in
your payment options and then click on
continue and double check that you're
happy with all the details and then
proceed to checkout my case I'm using
PayPal so there's an extra step here
[Music]
all right and we got the heart Thank You
page and basically how you have two
things here but what you can do here is
just scroll down and then click on
manage and you can see here that the
transfer will begin shortly and this
might take some time the great thing is
go that it will send you an email that
the transfer has been requested but you
still need to accept it so before you
accept that it's not gonna actually
transfer it and this might take a bit of
time so I'll pause the video until it's
done Arnie how do you speed up these
things
GoDaddy work hard if you're enjoying
this video so far I would appreciate if
you can hit the like button that will
help me with the YouTube algorithm and
push this video even higher thanks a lot
so this process actually just took like
10 or 15 minutes and then I got this
email but basically it's saying that
I've requested the domain transfer and
it's ready to go you can just click on
the sign in and it will take you to the
domain section then click on manager and
then under domains go to transfers
and click on transfer out and as you can
see you have here just check it and
accept the transfer so it says it'll
take 15 minutes but in my case actually
I got it almost immediately you will
receive emails from GoDaddy first
they're gonna try something very
desperate basically they're offering you
a very low fee for to extend with them
but honestly this is a bit too much
already and I think too late then second
email saying that they have successfully
completed the domain transfer and then
there is also going to be an email that
actually you've cancelled the product
this just means that it's been
transferred to Namecheap
[Music]
just a sec it's not fully transferred
yet now if we go to Namecheap you won't
actually see that the domain has been
transferred yet so you have to wait
another 10-15 minutes and once you
receive an email from Namecheap it will
look like this domain transfer completed
that's when actually you can start
controlling this domain so now if we go
to the Namecheap dashboard and you just
refresh the page you can see that the
domain doesn't have anymore with another
host warning this just means that now
you have full control over it you can
even change the DNS and point the name
servers somewhere else it's really up to
you one thing to remember at this point
is to check that your domain still works
so go to your domain and look at your
website check if everything works if not
you need to check that the DNS settings
and especially the name servers are okay
usually names cheap copies them
correctly from the other host but just
in case if you have issues check those
first also double-check that your email
is working if you're using built-in
email as you might need to reset it and
that's it if you're looking to master
