Transfer domain from Hover

Ready to transfer your domain from Hover to JetHost? The steps are simple: unlock the domain, retrieve its authorization code, and start the transfer in your JetHost Client Area. This guide follows Hover’s current control panel.

Before you start

Under ICANN rules, a domain can only be transferred if:

• It was registered or last transferred more than 60 days ago.
• It is not expired and not too close to its expiry date.
• Your registrant (admin) and owner emails at Hover are current and valid.

Also check that your domain’s extension (TLD) is one JetHost can register – this is a JetHost requirement, not an ICANN rule.

Unlock the domain and retrieve the Auth code

1. Log in to your Hover control panel and click the domain you want to move.
2. Under Details, turn the Transfer Lock toggle off (allow up to 24 hours for the change to register).
3. Next to Authorization Code, click Retrieve to display it, then Copy the code.

The code is case-sensitive, so copy and paste it without extra spaces. For reference, see Hover’s own transfer-away guide.

Start the transfer at JetHost

If you have not ordered the transfer yet, start it here: order a domain transfer. Enter your domain, add it to the cart, and complete the order.

Once the transfer is ordered, add your authorization code:

1. Log in to your JetHost Client Area.
2. Go to Domains → Manage and open the domain you are transferring.
3. Paste the Authorization (EPP) code and confirm.

Once the code is accepted, the transfer starts automatically. Hover has up to five days to release the domain under ICANN policy, so allow up to a week overall. If it has not completed after seven days, contact our support team to check the status.

Most extensions add a year to your registration when you transfer, so you rarely lose any time already paid for. Your website and email keep running throughout, as long as your DNS records stay the same at JetHost.
