Transferring a domain moves its registration and future renewal management from your current provider to Stride.
Before you start
Depending on the domain and its provider, you may need to:
unlock the domain for transfer,
disable DNSSEC,
obtain a transfer or authorization code, and
confirm that the domain is active and eligible for transfer.
Some domains cannot be transferred immediately after registration or a previous transfer. Stride checks the domain and displays the applicable requirement.
Start the transfer
Log in to Stride and select your business.
Open Domain name.
Choose the option to add a domain you already own.
Select the option to transfer the domain to Stride.
Review the transfer price and future renewal price.
Enter the authorization code if Stride requests it.
Review the total and confirm the transfer.
After confirmation
The transfer status is displayed in Stride. The domain is added as a secondary domain first, so your current primary website address does not change automatically.
When the transfer and configuration are ready, you can make the transferred domain the primary domain from its details page.
If the transfer is refused
The dashboard explains common conditions such as a locked domain, an active DNSSEC configuration, a recent registration or transfer, an expired domain, an existing transfer, or a domain that is not transferable.
Follow the displayed action and try again, or contact Stride support when no action is available.
