However, first, we need to understand:

What is Domain Transfer?

The procedure of moving a domain from one domain registrar to another is known as a domain transfer.

Why Transfer Domains?

Domain transfer becomes necessary when a domain name is being transferred from one owner to another.

Some important tips before transferring a domain:

• Obtain a transfer key from your current registrar.
• Get the domain unlocked from the current registrar.
• Verify your domain’s contact information.

Steps To Transfer Domain To GoDaddy

1. Go to your GoDaddy account. If you don’t have an account, create a new one.
2. After logging in, navigate to the transfer page. Select your domain. If your domain is already with GoDaddy, it will appear, and you can transfer it to a new GoDaddy account.
3. Unlock your domain.
4. Enter the authorization code for your domain.
5. Click on “Transfer Domain” to initiate the transfer domain to Godaddy.

Which is The Best Time To Transfer A Domain?

If you want to transfer domain to Godaddy, there is no specific time, but you should keep some things in mind before transferring the domain.

Before Expiry of the Domain:

You can transfer the domain when your domain is nearing its expiry. But remember one thing, do not transfer the domain a day or two before it expires because if the process is not done properly, the domain can become difficult to manage.

Avoid Major Changes:

Do not make too many changes to the website while transferring the domain, as some changes may not be reflected or it may be difficult to track the changes you have made.

Backup and DNS Settings:

Before starting the transfer, make a backup of everything. Note down the things related to DNS settings. Doing so will save you time when restoring the backup.

Verify Contact Information:

Double-check the contact information of your current domain registrar and the new domain registrar.

How To Check Domain Transfer Status?

You can check whether the domain has been transferred or not from the account of the first registrar or from the account of GoDaddy.

Follow the steps below to check the domain transfer status in your GoDaddy account:

1. Log in to GoDaddy’s transfer page by entering your username and password.
2. After logging in, you will see two transfer buttons. In “Transfers In,” you will see the list of domains transferred to GoDaddy. In “Transfers Out,” you will see the list of domains transferred out of GoDaddy. Select the appropriate button there.
3. Now, you can see the domain category and search for the domain you want using the search bar.
4. Check the “Status” column of your selected domain for more information.
