Transfer
Bring your domain to Plotdomain
Already own a domain somewhere else? Move it here to manage renewals, DNS and security in one place, and pay in cedis.
Extensions open for transfer
Before you start
- Unlock the domain at your current registrar.
- Ask your current registrar for the transfer (EPP) code.
- Make sure the domain was registered more than 60 days ago and its contact email works.
- Turn off any privacy or redirect service that hides the owner's email, if your registrar asks for it.
How a transfer works
Start in your dashboard
Enter the domain and its transfer code, and confirm you are authorised to move it. We ask you to confirm it's you, because transfers are a sensitive action.
Review and pay
The transfer price is shown before you pay. We start the transfer only after your payment is confirmed.
Approve if asked
Your current registrar may email the domain's owner to approve the move. Approve it to speed things up.
Follow the status
Every step is shown in your dashboard, with the reason if something fails. Transfers can take several days. If a paid transfer fails, we refund it.
Some domains can't be transferred, for example within 60 days of registration or if the registry doesn't allow it. We keep your transfer code encrypted and clear it once it has been passed on.
