You can transfer an existing domain from a third-party registrar to your Zibster account, keeping your website and domain registration all in one convenient place. We support the transfer of the following domain types: .COM, .NET, .INFO, .BIZ, and .ORG.
Steps to Transfer Your Domain:
- Unlock Your Domain: Ensure your domain is unlocked at your current registrar.
- Disable Privacy Settings: Turn off any privacy settings associated with your domain name, including DNSSEC.
- Obtain an Authorization Code (EPP Code): This code is required to initiate the transfer.
Cost:
- A one-time fee of $25.00 applies to transfer your domain to your Zibster account.
- Domain registration costs $3.50 per month for monthly clients or $42.00 per year for annual clients.
Important:
Avoid making changes to your domain settings or contact information during this process, as doing so will prevent you from starting the transfer for 60 days.

Please note:
- In order to transfer the domain, you should not have updated the domain’s registrant name, company, and/or email address nor have transferred the domain from another registrar within the last 60 days.
- We do not recommend initiating a domain transfer for a domain that will expire within 15 days from the transfer initiation date.

Pro tip:
Once initiated, a domain transfer can sometimes take 7-10 business days to process before it arrives at Zibster. Once the transfer is initiated, some registrars will send you an email where you can confirm the transfer request — in many cases, confirming the transfer can speed the process up, so be sure to check your email inbox for messages from your domain registrar.
