How to transfer a domain

Transferring your domain to a new provider might sound like a hassle, but it’s easier than you think, especially when your goal is better security, privacy, or control. At FlokiNET, we help individuals and organizations migrate their domains safely, with minimal downtime and full support.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to transfer a domain, so you can make the switch with confidence.

Why transfer your domain to FlokiNET?

Moving your domain isn’t just about saving money, it’s about protecting your online presence. FlokiNET offers:

  • We also offer hosting in Iceland, Finland, Romania, and the Netherlands;
  • ID protection for most TLDs;
  • No-censorship, privacy-focused hosting;
  • Transparent pricing with no hidden fees (please also keep in mind that premium domains have a different price then the standard ones).

If you care about online freedom, FlokiNET is where your domain belongs. Here’s how to transfer domain hosting in just a few steps.

Step by step domain transfer process

1. Unlock your domain

Log in to your current provider’s dashboard and unlock the domain you want to transfer. This is a necessary step to allow the move to proceed.

2. Obtain the EPP/Auth code

Request your domain’s EPP (Authorization) code. Think of it as a password needed to prove ownership during the transfer.

3. Start the transfer at FlokiNET

Head over to FlokiNET’s domain transfer page, enter your domain name, and input the EPP code when prompted.

5. Approve the transfer email

You or your current host will receive an email asking you to confirm the domain transfer. Follow the link and approve the move.

6. Wait for completion

Domain transfers usually complete within 5–7 days, though they often happen faster. Your website will remain live throughout the process if DNS settings are untouched.

Post transfer steps:

After the domain is successfully moved:

  • Check DNS records and reconfigure if needed
  • Test your site and email functionality

Common issues and how to avoid them

  • Transferring too early: Wait at least 60 days after registering or transferring a domain.
  • Expired domain: Renew it before transferring if needed.
  • Incorrect EPP code: Always copy it exactly from your current provider.

Our infrastructure and no compromise approach to privacy make us the perfect choice for activists, journalists, businesses, and anyone who values online freedom.
