Hello Readers, here I am again with a great tutorial updates which shows you how to transfer a domain name from any domain registrar via the registrar transfer options to godaddy.com. If you have been my subscriber for more than a year, you will notice that I got this very domain late last year as explained in this update.
You may also note that this is made possible with the help of a Auth Code or EPP Code which I will be explaining in this post and if ever you are having problem or having no clue on this, then you just got a permanent solution for life.
Transferring a domain to godaddy.com is not a trivial process, but not rocket science either.
Once you learn the necessary steps, it will be easy.
Transfer costs $7.99 - price may vary - but you get 1 year free extension.
You have to renew the domain every year anyway, and renew price is usually higher.

7) Checking the Progress of your transfer
After you authorize the transfer, we send a request to your domain name's registry, and then they notify your current registrar. Your current registrar might send a request for transfer approval to the domain name's admin email address. Then, your current registrar sends an acceptance or rejection notice back to the registry, and then the registry notifies us of the transfer status.
On the Pending Transfers page in the Domain Manager, you can track your transfer's progress.
To Check the Progress of Your Transfer
- Log in to your Account Manager.
- Next to Domains, click Manage.
- From the Domains menu, select Transfers. In the Pending Transfers Grid, the following columns display information for each domain name pending transfer:
- Status — Displays the domain name's current status in the transfer process. For more information about a domain name's transfer status, hover over its progress bar, click the ? icon, or click the Action Required or Error link that displays (if applicable). For more information about domain name transfer statuses, seeUnderstanding Pending Transfers in the Domain Manager and Troubleshooting Domain Name Transfers to GoDaddy.
- Admin Email — Displays the admin email address currently associated with the domain name. This is the email address to which we and your current registrar send important transfer information. For more information, see How do I resend the transfer IDs to my updated admin email address?, Troubleshooting Domain Name Transfers to GoDaddy, and Understanding Pending Transfers in the Domain Manager.
