Transferring your domain from StormerHost Ghana to another provider is a straightforward process, but it involves a few necessary steps to ensure a smooth and secure transfer. This guide walks you through everything you need to do.

Prerequisites

• Your domain is more than 60 days old (ICANN policy).
• Your domain is not within 15 days of expiration (to avoid interruptions).
• You have access to your StormerHost client area and registered email.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Log in to the StormerHost Client Portal. Visit https://www.stormerhost.com/clients.
2. Enter your login credentials to access your domain management dashboard.
3. Unlock the domain for transfer, follow the guide here to unlock the registrar and get the EEP/Auth code: https://support.stormerhost.com/knowledgebase/how-to-find-the-authorization-code-epp-code-on-stormerhost-client-area/
4. After going through the steps above, you can now initiate the transfer with the new registrar.

Initiate Transfer with New Registrar

1. Log in to your new registrar (e.g., Namecheap, GoDaddy, Bluehost, etc.).
2. Start the domain transfer process.
3. Enter your domain name and paste the EPP/Auth Code when prompted.
4. Pay the transfer fee (typically includes 1-year domain renewal). Approve Transfer via Email
5. Check your domain’s admin email address for a confirmation message from the new registrar or registry.
6. Click the approval link to authorize the transfer.

Wait for completion; domain transfers typically take 5–7 days to complete.

You’ll receive confirmation from your new registrar once it’s done.

• You cannot transfer expired domains. Renew first if necessary
• After transfer, domain settings (like DNS) may need reconfiguration at the new host.
