- Select “I will use my existing domain” during the sign up process to ensure that you can provision the hosting before transferring the domain
- Please ensure your domain is UNLOCKED and status set to OK
- Kindly ensure that the REGISTRANT (domain owner) EMail is updated in order to receive the transfer request
- .com/.net/.org/.biz domains usually take up to 7 days to transfer, while additional validation is required
- Please obtain the relevant AUTH CODE (EPP code) from your existing host, should it be required to transfer your domain
- Should you wish to make use of the new provider, PRIOR to the transfer completing for the above type TLD’s, you are required to update the name servers BEFORE initiating and/or accepting the transfer request

- After successful registration, renewal or transfer of Global domain extensions (TLD’s), e.g .com, .net, .org, etc. the domain owner (registrant) will receive an Email to verify ownership of the domain, while confirming the Email address linked to the domain is correct.
