Transferring your domain to FastWebHost allows you to manage all your services in one place. Follow these steps to ensure a smooth transfer:
Before initiating the transfer, ensure the following:
Domain Eligibility:
The domain is at least 60 days old since registration or last transfer.
The domain is active and not in a redemption or pending delete status.
Unlock the Domain:
Log in to your current registrar's account.
Locate the domain and remove any transfer locks.
Obtain the Authorization Code (EPP Code):
Request the EPP code from your current registrar; this code authorizes the transfer.
Disable WHOIS Privacy Protection:
Temporarily disable privacy protection to ensure FastWebHost can verify domain ownership.
Check DNSSEC Status:
Ensure DNSSEC is disabled, as it can interfere with the transfer process.
Start the Transfer:
Visit FastWebHost's domain transfer page.
Enter your domain name and proceed.
Enter Authorization Code:
Provide the EPP code when prompted.
Select Nameserver Options:
Choose to retain your current nameservers or switch to FastWebHost's nameservers.
If you have existing services (e.g., email) configured, consider keeping your current nameservers to avoid disruptions.
Complete the Payment:
Proceed with the payment to initiate the transfer.
Approval Email:
Check your administrative email for a transfer approval request.
Follow the instructions to approve the transfer.
Transfer Duration:
The transfer process typically takes up to 7 days.
You'll receive a confirmation email once the transfer is complete.
Domain Renewal:
For most generic top-level domains (gTLDs) like .com or .net, transferring your domain to FastWebHost will add an additional year to your domain's current expiration date.
Country-code top-level domains (ccTLDs) may have different renewal policies during transfer.
Nameserver and DNS Records:
If you choose to use FastWebHost's nameservers, ensure to configure your DNS records appropriately to maintain website and email functionality.
Alternatively, retaining your existing nameservers can help prevent service interruptions during the transfer process.
Domain Locked:
Ensure the domain is unlocked at your current registrar.
It may take a few hours for the unlock status to update.
Invalid EPP Code:
Double-check the authorization code for accuracy.
Contact your current registrar if issues persist.
Unsupported Domain Extension:
Some domain extensions may not be supported for transfer.
Consult FastWebHost's support for guidance on such cases.
