Domains & DNS // updated 2026-07-22
Transfer a domain to KeetonHosting
Move a domain from another registrar with zero downtime.
Before you start
- The domain must be at least 60 days old at the losing registrar.
- It must not have been transferred in the last 60 days.
- WHOIS privacy must be off temporarily (some registrars require this).
- The admin email on the domain must be reachable.
Transfer steps
- At the losing registrar: unlock the domain and request the EPP/authorization code.
- At shop.keetonhosting.com: start Domains → Transfer, enter the domain and the auth code.
- Pay the transfer fee — this includes one year of renewal.
- Approve the confirmation email we send to the admin contact.
- Wait 5–7 days for the final release. DNS is preserved — no downtime.
tip
Point DNS or nameservers to KeetonHosting before the transfer completes so nothing changes at cutover.
