Transfer a domain to GARMTECH (incoming transfer)

Support Portal  »  Knowledgebase  »  Viewing Article


A domain transfer moves domain management to GARMTECH (registrar change). In most cases, a transfer also extends the domain by one year (depends on TLD rules).

Before you start

  • Make sure you can access the domain’s admin email (transfer approval is often sent there).
  • Most TLDs cannot be transferred within 60 days after registration or a previous transfer.
  • Recommended: start the transfer while the domain is active (not expired).

Step 1 – Prepare the domain at the current registrar

  1. Unlock the domain (disable “Registrar lock”).
  2. Request the EPP/Auth code (transfer code).
  3. If you use WHOIS privacy and do not receive transfer emails, temporarily disable privacy (optional, depends on the registrar/TLD).

Step 2 – Start the transfer in My.GARMTECH

  1. Log in to My.GARMTECH.
  2. Open Domains → Transfer Domain (menu names may differ slightly).
  3. Enter the domain name and the EPP/Auth code.
  4. Complete checkout and pay the transfer invoice.

Step 3 – Approve the transfer

  • Watch for approval emails sent to the domain contact email.
  • Approve the transfer as soon as possible to avoid delays.
  • Typical transfer time is a few days, depending on the TLD and the losing registrar.

What happens to DNS and the website?

  • A registrar transfer does not automatically change nameservers. Your website and email should keep working during the transfer if DNS is correct.
  • After the transfer completes, you can manage renewals, WHOIS details, DNSSEC, and other domain features in My.GARMTECH.
