Transfer domain from Spaceship

Ready to transfer your domain from Spaceship to JetHost? The steps are simple: unlock the domain, copy its authorization code, and start the transfer in your JetHost Client Area. This guide follows Spaceship’s current Domain Manager.

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 is current, as 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. Sign in to Spaceship, open Domain Manager and click your domain.
2. Choose Transfer from the sidebar, then click Transfer domain under “Transfer to a new registrar” and confirm the disclaimer.
3. Click Unlock domain in the pop-up.
4. Copy the Authorization / EPP code that appears.

The code is case-sensitive, so copy and paste it without extra spaces. For reference, see Spaceship’s own domain transfer page.

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. Spaceship has up to five days to release the domain under ICANN policy, and you can approve the transfer in your Spaceship Domain Manager to speed it up. If it has not completed after seven days, contact our support team.

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.
