Want to **transfer your domain from Network Solutions** to JetHost? The steps are simple: unlock the domain, request its authorization code, and start the transfer in your JetHost Client Area. This guide follows Network Solutions' 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.
- It is not expired and not too close to its expiry date.
- Your registrant (admin) email at Network Solutions 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 request the Auth code

1. Log in to your [Network Solutions account](https://www.networksolutions.com/my-account/login) and click **Domains** in the left menu.
2. Select the domain you want to move (click **Settings** in Summary View, or the menu → **Manage** in Advanced View).
3. Open the **Security** tab and toggle **Domain Lock** off.
4. Click **Request Auth Code**. Network Solutions emails the code to your registrant address, usually within 24 hours.

If domain privacy is enabled, turn it off too, so the transfer emails reach you. The authorization code is case-sensitive, so copy and paste it exactly. For reference, see Network Solutions' own [transfer-out guide](https://www.networksolutions.com/help/article/transfer-out-of-network-solutions).

## Start the transfer at JetHost

If you have not ordered the transfer yet, start it here: [order a domain transfer](https://jethost.com/app/cart.php?a=add&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. Network Solutions 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.

## JetHost Experts Tip

Avoid using an email address that depends on the same hosting account (like name@yourdomain.com). If your domain expires or there’s a server issue, you may not receive the alert. Use an external email like Gmail or Outlook to guarantee delivery.
