How to Transfer Your Domain Into Hostinger From A Different Registrar
The steps in this guide will outline the process of how to transfer your domain into Hostinger from a different domain name registrar.
For a seamless transfer of registrar, it’s imperative to have the following requirements ready in order to transfer the domain to Hostinger.
- You must own the domain or be authorized to transfer it
- Obtain and double-check the Authorization/EPP code (case-sensitive)
- Domain should not be less than 60 days old and not under the redemption period
- Privacy of the domain should be removed
- Transfer locked should be turned off
- Ensure that the domain’s contact data is up to date
Log in to the Hostinger account where you want to have the domain transferred.
Go to the left navigation bar and select “Transfer Domain.”
Enter the domain name you would like to transfer and then click “Transfer.”
Proceed with the payment. You will be redirected back to the list of your domains, and the domain should now show in your hPanel with a pending status.
Click on the domain and enter the contact details you wish to be inherited by the domain.
Enter the EPP code and click “Transfer Domain.”
Once done, the transfer process should start, and you will be routed to the screen below. An email will also be sent asking you to confirm the domain transfer.
You can check the domain transfer status by going back to the domain dashboard page.
If an error is encountered during the transfer process (e.g., domain’s authorization code is incorrect), you can go back to the domain dashboard and click on the domain.
Check on the status and update accordingly. If the error is with the authorization code, click “update EPP,” enter the updated code, and click “Update.”
- The transfer process will restart automatically.
