Transferring your domain to Hordanso lets you manage everything — hosting, email, and domain — from one place.
Before You Start: Requirements for Domain Transfer
- Your domain must be at least 60 days old (ICANN policy)
- Your domain must not be expired or locked for transfer
- You need the EPP/Authorization (Auth) Code from your current registrar
- Domain privacy must be temporarily disabled so the transfer email can reach you
Step 1: Prepare Your Domain at the Current Registrar
- Log in to your current domain registrar (e.g., Namecheap, GoDaddy, etc.).
- Unlock your domain (remove the Transfer Lock or Registrar Lock).
- Disable domain privacy protection temporarily.
- Request the EPP/Authorization Code. It will be emailed to the domain's registered email address.
Step 2: Start the Transfer at Hordanso
- Go to clients.hordanso.net/cart.php?a=add&domain=transfer.
- Enter your domain name and click Transfer.
- Enter the EPP/Auth Code.
- Review the order. The transfer fee covers one year of renewal.
- Complete payment.
Step 3: Approve the Transfer
- Watch for an email from Hordanso (or the domain registry) asking you to confirm the transfer.
- Click the approval link in the email.
- The transfer will complete within 5–7 days.
Note: .ng and .com.ng domain transfers may have different timelines and require additional verification. Contact support if you are transferring a Nigerian domain.
Tip: After the transfer is complete, re-enable domain privacy from your Hordanso client portal.
