Transfer a domain to another registrar

Transfer a domain away when you want another registrar to hold it. You turn off the domain's transfer lock, reveal its EPP code on the Settings tab, and give the code to the new registrar, which starts the transfer.

• The registration must be active (Statuses).
• Decide where the domain's DNS will live. If Coritan hosts its zone, the zone keeps answering after the transfer for as long as the domain's nameservers point at Coritan. To move the DNS too, set up the records at the new provider and change the nameservers before you start.

1. In the dashboard, go to Websites, open the domain and select the Settings tab.
2. In the Domain options card, turn Transfer lock off.
3. In the EPP code card, select Reveal EPP code.
4. Copy the code. The dashboard shows it once; select Hide when you have it.
5. At the new registrar, start the transfer and enter the code.

The new registrar asks the registry for the domain, and the transfer completes on the registry's schedule. If you lose the code before then, select Reveal EPP code again.

Turn off the transfer lock before revealing the EPP code.

The lock is on. Turn Transfer lock off in the Domain options card, then reveal the code.

Domain must be unlocked before requesting auth code

The API's form of the message above. Send PUT /api/v1/domains/registrations/{reg_id}/lock with {"enabled": false} first.

The registry did not hand over the code. Try again later.

• Turn on WHOIS privacy and transfer lock
• Transfer a domain to Coritan

Unlock the domain, then read the code:

curl https://api.coritan.com/api/v1/domains/registrations/7/auth-code \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CORITAN_TOKEN"

{"domain": "example.com", "auth_code": "Xk7#pQ2m9L"}

The call answers 409 while the domain is locked, and 404 with Registration not found when the registration is not yours or not active.
