Transfer domain from Name.com

Ready to transfer your domain from Name.com to JetHost? The steps are simple: unlock the domain, show its authorization code, and start the transfer in your JetHost Client Area. This guide follows Name.com’s current 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 (the auth code will not appear before then).
• It is not too close to its expiry date.
• Your registrant (admin) email is current, as transfer notifications are sent there.

Also check that your domain’s extension (TLD) is one JetHost can register.

Unlock the domain and get the Auth code

1. Log in to Name.com and open My Domains.
2. Click the padlock icon next to the domain to unlock it (open padlock means unlocked).
3. Click the domain name, then in Domain Actions click Show Transfer Authorization Code.
4. Copy the code shown.

If Whois privacy is on, disable it if your gaining registrar requires it. The code is case-sensitive, so copy and paste it without extra spaces. For reference, see Name.com’s own transfer 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. Name.com 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.
