To Transfer Domain Names to another Registrar
Complete the following steps with HOSTAFRICA
1. Verify the contact information: Verify that the administrator's contact information for the domain is correct.
All emails regarding the transfer will go to the administrator's email.
2. Cancel Protected or Private registration. If the domain has Protected Registration or Private Registration, you
will need to cancel it.
Complete the following steps with your new registrar
1. Get an authorization code.
Check with your new registrar to see if you need an authorization code (EPP code).
2. Many country-code top-level domain names (ccTLDs) don't require an
authorization code. However, there are a few exceptions where you'll need to contact support @ HOSTAFRICA
to get an authorization code. For .co.za domain transfers, please contact support @ HOSTAFRICA and have the
IPS tag of the new registrar (get this from your new registrar) ready when you call.
3. Initiate the transfer: At the new registrar, initiate the transfer and provide the authorization code, if needed.
This is different for each registrar, so you may need to consult the other registrar's help or support for specific
instructions.
Check the domain's administator's email
1. Accept or deny the transfer: HOSTAFRICA will email you instructions to complete the transfer.
If you do not accept or deny the transfer request within five days, HOSTAFRICA will automatically accept the
transfer for you.
2. Receive confirmation: HOSTAFRICA will email you confirmation when the transfer is complete.
