How to transfer your domain

Follow the 3 easy steps below or contact us for help.

Unlock the domain

Unlock the domain name with your current provider. This is sometimes called a Registrar Lock and prevents any changes to the domain. We will lock the domain again automatically once it comes over to us.

Get EPP Key/code

Every domain has a unique EPP key or domain password that you will need to enter during the ordering process. Sometimes called an Auth Code. You can get this from your current domain provider.

Place your order

Place your order on our website for your domain. Transfers are free but some include a one year compulsory renewal. We will ask for your EPP/Auth code during the order process.

Want to transfer a .UK domain?

Place your order on our website for your domain. There is no charge for transferring a UK domain name, but we just need the record on our systems. Go to your current provider and change the IPSTAG on the domain to - TUCOWS-CA
The domain should transfer immediately.

Why Choose FabuHost for your Domain Names?

Every domain registered with FabuHost comes with a suite of management tools that make administering a domain as easy as possible.

Free WHOIS privacy protection

Privacy is important. Full whois privacy protection is included and enabled as standard. This obscures the domain ownership details from showing on a public 'whois' lookup. No extra costs.

It's your Domain, not ours!

All domains are registered in your name and fully belong to you. You have full control to edit the registrant details, change the ownership, or transfer the domain away.

Contact management

Manage domain registrant, admin, and technical contacts with ease. Change them, execute trades or transfers, and update contact details in bulk.

Transfer out free of charge

We don't charge for transferring your domain away (like some of our competitors). Generate your auth codes and unlock the domain in our control panel. We'll make it easy and stress free.

Frequently asked questions

Most transfers take up to 5 working days to complete. This is due to the ICANN policy of domain transfers being auto-accepted by the losing registrar at this point. It might be quicker but it should not take longer. There should be no disruption to your website however as nameservers stay intact throughout the move.
Yes, we would me more than happy assist you in transferring in domain names (as well as hosting) from other providers.
Unfortunately, once a domain is registered, it remains registered for the time selected. As such, the cost cannot be refunded. This does not affect your statutory rights.
If you also purchase CPanel hosting, you can manage DNS zones in cPanel in order to set A, MX, CNAME, TXT and other records. Wizards are available for SPF and DKIM records too. Otherwise you could point your domain at a free DNS cloud solution such as Cloudflare.
Nope. Just use us to buy your domain name(s). But we can attach your existing domain names to new cPanel accounts at any time, whether you have bought the domain through us, or someone else.
