Transfer Domain - Valuehost

They are called as secret code, EPP code or auth code & are needed to initiate the transfer process. You can obtain the authorization code from your current registrar.

Perform a WHOIS search on the name & check ‘Registrar Status’. If the status line says ‘OK’, that domain is ready for transfer. Many registrars automatically “lock” the domain to protect it against potential fraudulent transfers. You can ask your current registrar to unlock the domain.

No, it will not be lapsed. We will just renew it for one more year of your domain expiry date with your current registrar.

We only allow active domains to be transferred as registrars don’t release expired domains.

You need to provide us the EEP code & need to ensure that your domain is transferable. Further to complete the transfer, the administrative contact (as mentioned in WHOIS) receives an email and you must click on the secure link to authorize the transfer.
