Transferring a Domain to NyasaCloud Print

Eligibility Requirements

Before initiating a transfer, ensure that:

• The domain was registered or last transferred more than 60 days ago

• The domain is active and not expired

• Domain transfer lock is disabled

• WHOIS contact email address is valid and accessible

These requirements are mandatory under ICANN transfer policies.

Prerequisites

• Active NyasaCloud account

• Domain authorization code (EPP/Auth code) from your current registrar

• Access to the domain owner’s email address

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Unlock the Domain

1. Log in to your current domain registrar’s control panel.

2. Locate the domain management section.

3. Disable Domain Lock or Transfer Lock.

Step 2: Obtain the Authorization (EPP) Code

1. In the same domain management area, request the EPP/Auth code.

2. The code is usually sent to the domain owner’s registered email address.

Step 3: Verify WHOIS Contact Information

• Ensure the registrant email address is correct and accessible

• Update it if necessary before starting the transfer

Step 4: Initiate the Transfer at NyasaCloud 

1. Log in to your NyasaCloud client area.

2. Navigate to Domains → Transfer Domain.

3. Enter the domain name you want to transfer.

4. Paste the authorization (EPP) code.

5. Proceed to checkout and complete payment.

Domain transfers typically include a one-year renewal, added to the current expiration date.

Step 5: Approve the Transfer

1. Check your email for the transfer confirmation request.

2. Approve the transfer by clicking the confirmation link.

Transfer Processing Time

• Transfers usually complete within 5–7 days

• Some registrars allow manual approval to speed up the process

What Happens After Transfer Completion

• The domain appears in your SmartHostee account

• Existing DNS settings remain unchanged unless modified

• The domain expiration date is extended by one year

Important Notes

• Domains cannot be transferred during the ICANN 60-day lock period

• Transferring does not cause website downtime if DNS is unchanged

• Privacy protection may need to be re-enabled after transfer

Expected Outcome

Your domain will be fully managed under SmartHostee Labs Inc., with continued ownership, extended validity, and centralized domain control.
