How to Transfer a Domain to BayHost

Transferring a domain from one hosting provider to another is similar to purchasing and registering a new domain, but it involves moving an existing domain from a previous host. In this article, we’ll explain in detail how to transfer a domain to BayHost.

What You Need to Transfer a Domain

To successfully transfer a domain, you’ll need:

• The domain must be unlocked (not in a locked status).

• The EPP Code (Authorization Code) for the domain.

Important Notes for Transferring a Domain to BayHost

1. During the transfer process, the domain must be renewed for one year.

2. You can only renew the domain for one year during the transfer. After the transfer is complete, you can renew it for additional years.

Steps to Transfer a Domain to BayHost

Follow these steps to transfer your domain to BayHost:

1. Navigate to the BayHost Homepage
   From the BayHost homepage, go to the Domains section and click on the “Register or Transfer Your Domain” button.

2. Search for Your Domain
   Enter the domain name you wish to transfer in the search bar and click the “Transfer” button.

3. Enter the EPP Code
   You’ll see the domain transfer page, where you’ll need to input the EPP Code. This code is available in your previous hosting account or can be obtained by contacting the previous host’s support team.
   After entering the domain name and EPP Code, click “Add to Cart”.

4. Select Free Domain Features and DNS Settings
   You’ll be presented with free domain features offered by BayHost. Select the desired features and specify the DNS settings for your domain. If your hosting is already with BayHost, you don’t need to change the DNS. Then, click “Continue”.

5. Complete the Payment Process
   Proceed to finalize the payment. You’ll need to log in to your BayHost account or create a new one and choose a suitable payment method.

Post-Transfer Process

Once the process is complete, you’ll receive an email confirmation, or the BayHost support team will contact you to finalize the domain transfer.

• Some hosting providers may take up to a week to complete the transfer.

• You may be required to verify your email to approve the transfer.

If you have any questions or need assistance, you can contact BayHost support via live chat or by opening a support ticket.
