How to transfer a domain to ns6
1
Prepare at your current registrar
Unlock the domain and turn off WHOIS privacy if it blocks the auth code. The domain must be at least 60 days old and not have transferred in the last 60 days.
2
Get the authorization code
Request the authorization (EPP) code from your current registrar — they email or display it. It’s the password that authorizes the move.
3
Start the transfer
Enter the domain and its auth code above and add the transfer to your cart, then check out.
4
Approve and wait
Approve the confirmation email. Transfers usually complete in 5 to 7 days and add a year to your registration.
Transferring a domain moves it from your current registrar to ns6 without changing the name itself or taking your site offline. You keep every year of registration you’ve already paid for, and most extensions add a full extra year as part of the transfer.
Once the transfer completes, free WHOIS privacy, free DNS and free SSL apply automatically, the same as any ns6 domain, with the renewal price shown up front.
Domain transfer — FAQ
You unlock the domain at your current registrar, get its authorization (EPP) code, enter both here, and approve a confirmation email. ns6 then requests the transfer from the current registrar and it completes once approved — usually within 5 to 7 days.
It’s a per-domain password that proves you’re allowed to move the domain. Your current registrar provides it on request. Without the correct code the transfer can’t start.
ICANN rules block a domain from transferring within 60 days of its initial registration or a previous transfer. If your domain is inside that window, you’ll need to wait until it clears before moving it.
No. You keep all the registration time you’ve already paid for, and for most extensions the transfer adds a full extra year on top — so you rarely pay for time you lose.
Yes. A transfer changes the registrar, not your DNS, so your nameservers and records carry over unchanged and your site and email keep running. For zero risk, avoid editing DNS while the transfer is in progress.
You pay the standard one-year price for the extension, which usually adds a year to your registration — so it’s effectively a renewal plus the move. The exact price is shown when you add the transfer to your cart.
Most transfers finish in 5 to 7 days. You can speed it up by approving the transfer at your current registrar instead of waiting for the automatic timeout.
Yes. The moment the transfer completes, free WHOIS privacy, free DNS and free SSL apply to the domain — no add-ons, for life on every eligible extension.
