What to Check Before You Transfer

To help your transfer go smoothly on the first try, we recommend checking the items below before you place your order. These steps help you avoid the most common delays and rejections when moving a domain to a new registrar.

  • Registration date: Newly registered or recently transferred domains cannot be moved to another registrar for a certain period (up to 60 days for most generic extensions), depending on the extension and the registrar's policy.
  • Expiry date: Transfers of expired domains may be refused depending on the current registrar's policy, and domains in the redemption period cannot be transferred. If expiry is only a few days away, renewing at your current registrar first is the safer option.
  • Transfer lock: Turn off the transfer lock (registrar lock) in your current registrar's panel.
  • Contact details: Make sure you can access the email address on the domain registration, because approval and notification emails are sent there. If you need to change the registrant's name, organization or email, note that some registrars then block transfers for up to 60 days; check whether you can opt out of this lock when making the change.
  • EPP code: Copy the code in full, paying attention to upper and lower case letters and special characters. Some registrars limit how long a code stays valid, so it is best to request a fresh code right before you order.
  • DNS records: If your domain uses your current registrar's free DNS service, back up records such as A, MX and TXT and move them to your hosting provider's or another DNS service's name servers (NS) before you start the transfer.

How Do I Transfer a Domain?

Unlock your domain at your current registrar and get its EPP (auth) code. Then enter your domain name and EPP code in the form on this page and complete your order. Once the transfer is complete, you can manage your domain from your Oweb client area.

Transfer Timing, Downtime Risk and Next Steps

How Long Does a Domain Transfer Take?

For generic extensions, a domain transfer usually takes 5-7 days (less if the current registrar approves early). Most of this time is the response window the current registrar has to approve or reject the request; with an early approval, the transfer can finish within a few hours. For .tr and other country-code extensions, timelines may vary according to the rules of each extension.

Will Your Website and Email Be Affected?

A transfer only changes the registrar of your domain; as long as your name server (NS) settings stay the same, your website and email keep working without interruption. The risk of downtime appears when the domain relies on the current registrar's free DNS service, because those records may be deleted once the transfer completes. In that case, before you start the transfer, back up your A, MX and TXT records, recreate them on your hosting provider's or another DNS service's name servers and point the domain to those name servers. Once the transfer completes, you can also manage your DNS settings in Oweb's free DNS management panel if you prefer.

Why Is a Transfer Request Rejected?

Most rejected requests come down to a few common causes: a wrong or expired EPP code, a transfer lock that is still on, a domain that is still within its post-registration or post-transfer restriction period, or an objection from the registrant. The current registrar may also deny a transfer in cases such as unpaid fees or a legal dispute. Once the issue is fixed, you can restart your transfer request.

What to Do After the Transfer

Once the transfer is complete, your domain is listed under My Domains in your client area. We recommend checking your name server settings, enabling WHOIS privacy if needed and noting the new expiry date. You can see current renewal fees for each extension on our domain prices page and read more about the renewal and deletion rules that apply when a domain expires.

Why Transfer Your Domain to Oweb?

When you move your domain to Oweb, you get free DNS management, free WHOIS privacy and 24/7 support by email, phone and web. You can manage everything from an easy-to-use client area.

What Is a Domain Transfer and How Does It Work?

A domain transfer moves the registration and management of a domain name from its current registrar to another registrar. Ownership stays the same; what changes is the company that manages, renews and handles the technical side of the domain on your behalf. Many people transfer to get better pricing, better support or to keep all their services in one panel.

The central records for each extension are kept by a registry; for example, Verisign operates .com and .net. Registrars connect to these registries through a standard protocol called EPP (Extensible Provisioning Protocol). The new registrar sends the transfer request to the registry, and the domain moves over once the current registrar approves it or its response window expires.

EPP Code and Transfer Lock

Transfer security rests on two things: the EPP (auth) code, also called an authorization code, which only the domain owner can access, and the transfer lock. While the lock is on, the domain status shows clientTransferProhibited and transfer requests are rejected automatically. Before you start, you can check the lock status of your domain in its WHOIS record along with its expiry date.

Generic Extensions vs .tr Domains

For generic extensions such as .com, .net and .org, transfer rules are set by ICANN and every accredited registrar follows the same policy. Domains ending in .tr are registered and managed through TRABİS (the .tr Network Information System) via authorized registrars; a change of registrar also follows the rules of this system, needs no documents and is made with the authorization code of the domain. Changing the domain holder is a separate process; see our guide for details on .tr extensions that require documents and the documents they need.

Domain Transfer FAQ

Check out the list below to find quick answers to your questions.

What is an EPP (auth) code?

An EPP (auth) code is the security code you get from your current registrar so that your domain can be transferred to another company. You can usually find it in your current registrar's control panel or get it from their support team.

What do I need to transfer my domain?

You only need the domain name and the EPP (auth) code from your current registrar, and the domain's transfer lock must be turned off. Enter these details in the form on this page and complete your order to start the transfer.

Can I change my name servers (NS) after the transfer?

Yes. A transfer does not change your domain's name servers (NS); you only need to move your records before the transfer if you use your current registrar's free DNS service. Once the transfer completes, you can update your name servers instantly from your Oweb client area and, if you like, create private name servers for your domain.

Will I lose the remaining time on my domain when I transfer it?

No, your remaining registration period is kept. For most generic extensions, a transfer also adds one year to the domain term; for some country-code extensions such as .tr, the extension rules may differ. Because generic extensions allow at most 10 years in total, the added year is capped for domains with more than 9 years remaining.

What should I do if the transfer approval email does not arrive?

First check your spam folder; approval and notification emails are sent to the email address on the domain registration. If that address is out of date or you cannot access it, see whether your current registrar's panel lets you approve the pending transfer, or ask their support team to approve the request. For generic extensions, if the current registrar does not reject the request within its response window, the transfer usually completes automatically when the window ends. If the problem persists, contact our 24/7 support team.

Can I transfer several domains at the same time?

Yes. Add each domain to your cart together with its own EPP code to start several transfers in a single order. Because each transfer is processed separately, completion dates may differ.

Does the domain owner change during a domain transfer?

No. A transfer only changes the registrar that manages the domain; the registrant (owner) details stay the same. Handing the domain over to another person or organization is a separate process. If your domain is already registered with Oweb and you want to move it to another Oweb account, follow the internal transfer steps.

Can I use WHOIS privacy after the transfer?

Yes. Once the transfer is complete, you can hide the personal details used in your domain registration with our free WHOIS privacy service.

Where do I manage my transferred domain?

Your transferred domain appears under My Domains in your Oweb client area, where you can handle renewals and other domain tasks.

How do I transfer a domain to another Oweb account?

An internal transfer moves a domain registered with Oweb to another Oweb customer account, and it is free of charge. To request one, log in to your client area and open a ticket in the Support System section, stating the domain to be moved and the email address of the receiving Oweb account.
