Learn how to transfer domains between registrars while keeping your hosting active.
Important Notes
Transferring Domain to Another Registrar
If you want to transfer your domain to a different registrar while keeping hosting with us:
Step 1: Unlock your domain
At your current registrar:
- Log into your domain control panel
- Find domain lock/transfer lock settings
- Disable the lock
Step 2: Get authorization code
- Request EPP/Authorization code from current registrar
- Save this code - you'll need it for transfer
Step 3: Initiate transfer at new registrar
- Go to your new registrar
- Start domain transfer process
- Enter your domain name
- Provide authorization code
- Complete payment
Step 4: Approve transfer
- Check your email for transfer approval
- Click the approval link
- Wait 5-7 days for transfer to complete
After Transfer: Update DNS
Set nameservers to:
ns1.webhostnet.in ns2.webhostnet.in
This ensures your website continues to work with WebHostNet hosting.
Transfer Restrictions
You cannot transfer a domain if:
- It was registered less than 60 days ago
- It was transferred less than 60 days ago
- It's within 7 days of expiration
- There are pending legal disputes
Will My Website Go Down?
No! As long as you keep the same nameservers (ns1.webhostnet.in and ns2.webhostnet.in), your website will continue working throughout the transfer.

Contact support@webhostnet.in if you need assistance with DNS configuration during or after domain transfer.
