Frequently Asked Questions

Find quick answers to common questions about registering, managing, and securing your domain name with Stern Host.

A domain transfer is the process of moving the registration of your domain name from your current registrar (the losing registrar) to a new registrar (the gaining registrar).

Generally, a domain is eligible for transfer if:

  • It has been registered for more than 60 days.
  • It has not been transferred to another registrar within the last 60 days.
  • It is unlocked at your current registrar.
  • The administrative contact email address is current and accessible to you.

Generally, a domain is eligible for transfer if:

It has been registered for more than 60 days.

It has not been transferred to another registrar within the last 60 days.

It is unlocked at your current registrar.

The administrative contact email address is current and accessible to you.

The EPP Code (also known as the Authorization Code or Auth Code) is a unique security key assigned to your domain name by your current registrar. It acts like a password to prevent unauthorized transfers (domain hijacking).

You must obtain this code from your current registrar (the one you are leaving). This is usually done through your current registrar's control panel, or by contacting their support team.

You must complete three steps at your current registrar:

  1. Unlock the domain: Remove the "Registrar Lock" to allow the transfer.

  2. Disable Privacy Protection: Temporarily disable any WHOIS privacy services.

  3. Obtain the EPP Code: Get the EPP/Auth Code for the domain.

Most domain transfers, for common Top-Level Domains (TLDs) like .com, .net, and .org, typically take 5 to 7 days to complete. The exact timeframe depends on how quickly your current registrar releases the domain and how promptly you approve the transfer via email.

For most generic TLDs (.com, .net, .org, etc.), a domain transfer automatically includes a one-year renewal that is added to your existing expiration date. The cost of the transfer generally covers this renewal fee. You won't lose any remaining time you've already paid for.

It is generally not recommended. While ICANN rules may allow a transfer within the first 30 days of expiry (the grace period), some registrars may deny the outgoing transfer of an expired domain. It's best to renew the domain with your current registrar and then wait the required 60 days before attempting a transfer.

No, there should be no downtime for your website. A domain transfer moves only the registration, not your website files or hosting service.

To ensure zero downtime, you must keep your Nameservers pointed to your current hosting provider until the transfer is complete. Once the transfer is finished, you can update the nameservers in your new registrar's panel if you are also moving your hosting.
