How do I transfer my domain to Hostnali?

Moving a domain to Hostnali keeps your website and email running: the only thing that changes is the company you pay for the domain.

Step by step

1. Unlock the domain in your current registrar’s dashboard (it may be called “transfer lock” or “registrar lock”).
2. Get the EPP code, also known as the authorisation or auth code. Your current registrar shows it in the dashboard or emails it to you. See what an EPP code is.
3. Order the transfer on our domain transfer page: type the domain, paste the EPP code and pay.
4. Approve it if the registrar emails the domain’s owner to confirm. After that the transfer completes by itself.

How long it takes and what it costs

• .com, .net, .org, .africa and other international domains take 5 to 7 days.
• .com.gh domains: Ghana’s .com.gh needs an application to the Ghana registry; ask our team and we’ll help.
• A paid transfer adds a year to the domain’s expiry date. Where the transfer price is zero, the expiry date stays the same.

Transferring a .com costs ₵210; a .africa costs ₵250.

Before you start

• Check that the domain has more than 7 days left before it expires.
• International domains can’t move within 60 days of being registered or transferred.
• Leave your website and email where they are until the transfer finishes, or ask us to migrate them for free.
