Domain transfer procedure


This article will give you an overview of domain transfer procedure. Following are the steps to transfer a domain:

  2. After getting EPP code go to the below URL:http://www.hostmight.com/member/cart.php?a=add&domain=transfer
  3. One verification e-mail with transfer approval link will be send at the registered email address. The registrant has to click on that link and approve the domain transfer request
  4. After that the domain will be transferred within 4 to 5 business days
