Transfer a Domain
Domain prices change frequently. If your chosen registrar’s price is no longer competitive, you can transfer the domains on your WHMCS installation to a different registrar without the need to alert the client.
When you update a domain’s contact, this may apply a 60-day Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy (IRTP) lock. This lock will prevent you from being able to transfer the domain. We recommend contacting your registrar first to determine whether you can bypass this.
For more information, see ICANN Policies.
Transfer a Domain to a New Registrar
To do this:
1. Go to the domain in the client profile.
Go to Clients > Domain Registrations and select the desired domain.
2. Remove the registrar lock.
Uncheck Registrar Lock and click Save Changes.
3. Update the domain contact details.
Click Modify Contact Details.
Change the registrant email address to your address and click Save Changes.
4. Get the domain’s EPP code.
Return to the client’s Domains tab and click Get EPP Code.
Note the displayed EPP code.
5. Select the new registrar.
Select the new domain registrar from the Registrar menu.
6. Initiate the transfer.
Click Transfer.
- You will see a confirmation message indicating that the transfer initiated successfully.
- The client’s Domains tab may display an error message from the new registrar, but this will disappear when the transfer process is complete.
7. Update the client contact details.
After the transfer process is complete, click Modify Contact Details, change the registrant email address back to the client’s own address, and click Save Changes.
