Ready? Let’s move your domain in 5 simple steps.

Step 1: Prepare Your Domain (Unlock & Get the EPP Code)

Log in to your current registrar (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap, Hostinger).
Find your domain in the dashboard.
Disable Domain Lock (also called “Registrar Lock” or “Transfer Lock”).
Request the EPP Code (Authorization Code / Transfer Key).
- It looks like: AB12-CD34-EF56-GH78
- Sent to your admin email instantly.

Pro Tip: The EPP code expires in 7 days—copy it now!

Step 2: Start the Transfer at CloudFivo

Go to https://app.cloudfivo.com/cart.php?a=add&domain=transfercloudfivo.com/transfer
Enter your domain (e.g., yourwebsite.com)
Paste the EPP code
Click “Start Transfer”

You’ll see a live checklist: ✅ Domain unlocked ✅ EPP code valid ✅ 60-day rule passed (domains <60 days old can’t transfer)

Step 3: Approve the Transfer Email

Check your admin email (the one tied to the domain).
Open the email from CloudFivo titled: “Action Required: Approve Domain Transfer for yourwebsite.com”
Click “Approve Transfer” (valid for 5 days).
