How to transfer a domain from your existing registrar to dotCanada

How to Transfer a Domain to dotCanada.com
At dotCanada.com, we make it easy to transfer your existing domain names to our service. Follow these simple steps to initiate a domain transfer:

  1. Unlock Your Domain First, you need to unlock your domain at your current registrar. This allows the transfer process to proceed. The steps vary by registrar, but typically you:
    • Log into your account
    • Find the domain management section
    • Locate the "unlock" or "transfer" option for your domain
    • Follow the prompts to unlock/allow transfers
  2. Obtain the Authorization Code Your current registrar will provide you with an EPP Authorization Code (sometimes called a transfer code). This verifies you as the owner and authorizes the transfer.
  3. Initiate the Transfer at dotCanada.com
    • Log into your dotCanada.com account
    • Go to the "Domains" section
    • Click "Transfer Domains"
    • Enter the domain you wish to transfer
    • Provide the EPP Authorization Code
    • Complete the transfer order process
  4. Wait for Confirmation The transfer process can take up to 7 days. We will notify you by email:
    • When the transfer is initiated
    • Requesting confirmation to proceed
    • When the transfer is completed successfully
    That's it! Once the transfer is done, you can manage your domain at dotCanada.com. We make domain transfers easy with:
    • No transfer fees for .ca, .com, .net, .org
    • Free Whois privacy
    • Secure DNS hosting included
    • 24/7 support from our Canadian team
    Transfer your domains to the reliable, Canadian domain experts at dotCanada.com today!
