Domain Name Transfer
Transfer your active domain names to digiBandit IT Services for centralized management with Cloudflare DNS, SSL, and CDN protection included.
Once the domain transfer order is completed, you will be asked to initiate the transfer by providing us with the domain's transfer key (sometimes referred to as the AUTH code or EPP key).
Before initiating the transfer, make sure a few conditions are met:
-
Unlock your domain. Most domains will be locked with their current providers to prevent unauthorized transfers. You may be able to unlock your domain directly from your provider's domain management portal or by contacting them directly.
-
Ensure the email address of the domain's Administrative contact is one that you have access to and that any Domain Privacy is disabled. You can view your domain's current information using any WHOIS lookup tool.
-
Make sure your domain name has not been registered or transferred in the last 60 days (if it has, you'll need to wait at least 60 days before proceeding) and is not going to expire in the next five days (if it does, your transfer might fail or your website might go offline mid-process).
Relevant information can be requested from your current domain name provider. If you are unsure who you've registered your domain name with, please try to find a payment invoice with the company's contact information, perform a WHOIS lookup of your domain, or contact us for assistance.
For most domain transfers (excluding .CA domains), you will likely be asked to confirm your request by clicking on a verification link sent to your domain's administrative email address. Once approved, a domain transfer may take up to 5 days. Certain domain types, such as .ca domains, may transfer within minutes.
Once your domain transfer is completed, we'll take care of the rest!
When you transfer your domain registration, you also automatically add one year to your domain's expiration date. So, for example, if your domain expires in 2026 and you transfer it today, its expiry date will be in 2027. This ensures you do not lose any time you have already paid for your domain with another provider.
Please contact our support team for immediate assistance if you have any additional questions about your domain's transfer.
