Transfer domain from Moniker

Ready to transfer your domain from Moniker to JetHost? The steps are simple: unlock the domain, get its authorization code, and start the transfer in your JetHost Client Area. This guide follows Moniker’s current account interface.

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) email at Moniker is current, as the authorization code and transfer notifications are sent there.

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 get the Auth code

1. Log in to your Moniker account and open My Domains.
2. Select the domain, click Security, and remove the Registrar Lock (if MaxLock is on, contact Moniker to remove it).
3. Open the domain and, under Advanced Options, click EPP Auth Info to view the authorization code.
4. Copy the code exactly – it is case-sensitive.

Allow up to 24 hours for the unlock to register. If privacy protection is on, disable it so the transfer emails reach you. For reference, see Moniker’s authorization code 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. Moniker 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.
