How to Transfer a Domain Name From One Registrar to Another EASY!
domain-name transfers how do you move a
domain name from one register to another
register that's we're talking about in
this video what's up everybody my name
is David website Craig procom so let's
get to it
now moving a domain name is a simple and
easy process in this video we're going
to be basically moving a domain name
from GoDaddy
over to Namecheap but the process is the
same regardless of domain name
registrars so say if you have your
domain names at Google domain names and
you want to move over to Dinah dot or
you have your domain names that Bluehost
and you want move over to Namecheap the
process is basically the same so step
one is to go to your current domain name
registrar and then go into where you can
manage the domain name itself in what
you specifically want to do is you want
to find where the status is and change
it to unlocked ok so your domain name is
going to have a status of locked and
that means it's not able to be
transferred just change the status to
unlock and then you're able to move the
domain name to a new domain name
registrar so that's step one step two is
basically you need to get the
verification code at your current domain
name registrar you literally just need
to find where it says verification code
or something along the lines of that and
you're going to get a long string of
numbers and letters and that basically
proves ownership over the domain name
and that's basically it that's all you
really need from your current domain
name register you need to unlock it and
you need to get this verification code
next is then you want to go to where you
want to move the domain name so if you
want to move over to like Namecheap for
example you want to go to namecheap.com
you want to click on where it says
transfer domain names to us and then
there you just put in your domain name
that you want to move over and a
Namecheap will check the status of the
domain name so what that means it'll
tell you if it's the mate if the domain
name is locked or unlocked now if you
just change the status at GoDaddy it
does take a little bit of time for that
to propagate usually like 10 or 15
minutes so don't expect it to be like
right away so you may go to Namecheap
and to make be coming up that hey this
domain name is locked just give it a
little bit of time and next you have to
put in the verification code and then
you just submit your payment and you
should and that's it and you're good to
go now also that you have to just one
caveat you have to make
that the main name is eligible to be
transferred so what that means like if
you just registered a domain name
somewhere you're not able to move it to
a new domain name registrar within the
first 60 days and you're also not able
to transfer a domain name if it's within
45 days of its renewal dates I only
bring that out because people often are
have their domain names like GoDaddy or
Bluehost and then they're shocked like
what 18 $19 to like renew my domain name
like okay I'm moving over to like Google
domain names or Namecheap and well you
gotta like make sure it's not within the
45 days so if this is something that you
want to do make sure that you only has
enough time on the domain name all right
so if you need a little bit more of a
guided walk through let's come into my
laptop and begin welcome to my laptop
let's begin so this is GoDaddy and this
is Namecheap so to just begin like a
domain name transfer process super duper
simple so like if you had say you have
your de meanings that GoDaddy all you
want to do is log in to your account so
for example I have edge of David calm at
GoDaddy and I'm actually currently
moving this over to Namecheap and so to
the process of moving this domain name
it's you just want to go over here and
you want to click on the button that
says manage and then once you click on
manage it'll open up the domain name
settings and at the bottom right down
here is where you say domain name lock
on or off and so you just want to click
the edit button to turn the domain name
lock button off okay so it's gonna say
on just click Edit and select off okay
and then you want to click here where it
says get authorization code and then
when you go over to Namecheap you just
go to transfer to us transfer domains
and so since edge of David's already
under the transfer process I'll just put
in a different example so we'll just -
will type in super-awesome com okay
which super awesome calm and then you
just click enter and then it'll begin
the process so it'll say congratulations
your domain is eligible for transfer
that means it's within the 60 days of
registration period or it's without
outside the 45 days renewal period okay
so that's the first one but then you'll
see right down here that the domain aim
is locked so
that's why you have to go in and unlock
the domain name as appropriate and so
again as I said in the introduction it
usually takes like 10-15 minutes for
this to start coming up as unlocked and
then what's unlocked then you just put
in the authorization code there and you
get the authorization code right here
with GoDaddy with each domain name
registrar it's a little different and
then you just copy and paste the code in
and then it costs 8.8 something dollars
Add to Cart pay your fee and then that's
it and then the domain name will be
transferred from GoDaddy to Namecheap
again as I said it takes three to seven
business days depending on the register
because GoDaddy then has to release
their main name to Namecheap so it's not
an automatic process but it's really
that simple that's all you have to do to
transfer a domain name from one register
to another in a nutshell alright guys
