Domain transfer FAQs
What is a domain name transfer?
A domain name transfer means moving your domain registration from your current registrar to Hostinger. Doing so simply shifts who manages your domain settings and renewals – your website, email, and ownership details remain unchanged.
Why should I transfer my domain to Hostinger?
Transferring your domain to Hostinger allows you to manage your hosting and domains from a single user-friendly dashboard. Our competitive pricing ensures transparent rates and lower renewal fees, so there are no surprises. Plus, with 24/7 expert support, you’ll have help whenever you need it.
How do I transfer a domain?
First, check if you’re eligible to initiate a domain transfer. In most cases, domains should have been registered for at least 60 days before you can move them to a new registrar.
If you are, unlock the domain you want to transfer from your current registrar’s dashboard, and get the authorization code (also known as the EPP or transfer code). Then, enter your domain name in the provided field on our domain transfer page, follow the on-screen steps, and provide the authorization code to begin the transfer. For more detailed instructions, read our support article on how to transfer a domain to Hostinger.
Note that you may need to verify the transfer request after it’s reviewed by the registrar, so be sure to check your email.
How long will it take to transfer a domain to Hostinger?
Transferring a domain to Hostinger takes up to seven days. It can be faster if your current registrar releases the domain quickly and you promptly confirm the transfer request in your email. Some domain registries are also quick to process a domain transfer, but that will depend on the domain extension you’re transferring.
Worry not, your website and email will work normally while we handle the transfer process in the background.
Can I transfer a domain for free?
Not on its own. A domain transfer has a fee, and the price depends on the domain extension, because each registry sets its own base pricing. For most extensions, such as .com, .net, or .org, the transfer also adds one year to your domain’s current expiration date, so the time you pay for isn’t lost. The exception is a new hosting plan of 12 months or longer: instead of registering a new free domain, you can use it to transfer an eligible domain for free. See which extensions qualify on our free domain page.
Can I use a domain name without hosting?
Yes, you can use a domain name without hosting. A typical use case is creating professional email addresses (like you@businessname.com) and redirecting the domain to an existing website, such as a social media page. You can also reserve the domain for future use through domain parking. If you’re building a business, this is a good way to protect your brand by preventing others from claiming the name before you do.
