How to Transfer Your Domain Away from TrophyHost

If you want to move your domain registration from TrophyHost to another registrar, follow the steps in this guide to unlock your domain, obtain your authorization code, and initiate the transfer.

Important: Transferring your domain does not automatically cancel your TrophyHost hosting account or migrate your website and email services.

Step 1: Log In to Your TrophyHost Client Area

  1. Visit https://trophyhost.com.

  2. Click Client Area or Login.

  3. Enter your registered email address and password.

  4. Click Login.

Step 2: Open Your Domain Management Page

  1. Click Domains in the client area navigation menu.

  2. Select My Domains.

  3. Locate the domain you want to transfer.

  4. Click Manage Domain or the domain's management option.

Make sure you select the correct domain before proceeding.

Step 3: Disable the Registrar Lock

If your domain has a transfer lock enabled, you may need to disable it before the transfer can proceed.

  1. Open your domain management page.

  2. Look for the Registrar Lock, Transfer Lock, or similarly named setting.

  3. If the option is available, disable the lock.

  4. Save the changes.

Some domain extensions have additional registry restrictions that cannot be removed simply by disabling the lock.

Step 4: Obtain Your EPP or Authorization Code

  1. Return to your domain management page.

  2. Look for Get EPP Code, Request Authorization Code, Transfer Code, or a similar option.

  3. Follow the instructions displayed to obtain the code.

  4. Copy the code securely.

If you cannot find the option, contact TrophyHost Support and request the authorization code for your domain.

Some extensions use a different transfer procedure and may not require an EPP code.

Step 5: Start the Transfer with Your New Registrar

After obtaining the code:

  1. Visit the website of the registrar you want to transfer to.

  2. Open its Domain Transfer page.

  3. Enter your domain name.

  4. Enter the EPP or authorization code when requested.

  5. Review the transfer price and applicable terms.

  6. Add the transfer to your cart.

  7. Complete the checkout and payment process.

Your new registrar will provide the instructions required to complete the transfer.

Step 6: Confirm the Transfer

Depending on the domain extension and transfer procedure, you may need to approve the transfer through an email or your new registrar's client area.

  1. Check your registered email address.

  2. Review any transfer-related messages.

  3. Follow the instructions provided by your new registrar.

  4. Monitor the transfer status through the new registrar.

The transfer may complete automatically after the applicable waiting period if no further action is required.

Step 7: Confirm That the Transfer Is Complete

Once your new registrar confirms completion:

  1. Log in to your new registrar's client area.

  2. Open its domain management section.

  3. Confirm that the domain appears in your account.

  4. Check the domain's expiry date and renewal settings.

  5. Verify that the domain's nameservers and DNS records are configured correctly.

If your website or email depends on DNS services provided by TrophyHost, confirm that these services will remain available and that your DNS configuration will continue to work after the transfer.

Important: Your TrophyHost Hosting Will Not Be Cancelled Automatically

Your domain registration and hosting subscription are separate services.

If you still use TrophyHost for web hosting, email hosting, or other services, those services may remain active after the domain transfer.

If you want to cancel your hosting subscription, submit a separate cancellation request through the appropriate hosting service management page in your TrophyHost Client Area.

Do not cancel your hosting until you have confirmed that you no longer need it and have completed any required website or email migration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I transfer my domain immediately?

Not always. Many generic domains are subject to a 60-day restriction after initial registration or certain registrar transfers. Additional restrictions may apply to other extensions.

What if I cannot find my EPP code?

Contact TrophyHost Support and request the authorization code or the applicable transfer instructions for your domain extension.

Will transferring my domain cause downtime?

A registrar transfer does not normally cause downtime by itself. Problems can occur if nameservers or DNS records are changed incorrectly or if existing DNS services are discontinued.

Will my hosting subscription be cancelled?

No. Domain transfers and hosting cancellations are separate processes.

Need Help?

If you experience difficulty unlocking your domain or obtaining the authorization code, contact TrophyHost Support through your client area.
