Transferring your domain to Zentec allows you to manage both your hosting and your domain in one place, with easier billing and support. Here’s how to complete the transfer in a few steps.
✅ Step 1: Prepare Your Domain for Transfer
Before initiating the transfer, go to your current domain registrar and:
-
Unlock the domain name
-
Disable WHOIS privacy (if enabled)
-
Obtain your domain transfer (EPP) code
-
Make sure the domain is at least 60 days old and not expired
-
Confirm that your contact email is up to date (you’ll receive a confirmation link)
✅ Step 2: Start the Transfer on Zentec
-
Click on Domains → Transfer Domain to Us
-
Enter your domain name and the EPP code
-
Complete the checkout process (a one-year renewal fee will apply)
✅ Step 3: Approve the Transfer
-
Check your email (used as domain admin contact)
-
You’ll receive a confirmation email from the current registrar or registry
-
Approve the transfer by clicking the verification link
✅ Step 4: Wait for Completion
-
The transfer typically takes 5 to 7 days to complete
-
You’ll receive a confirmation email from Zentec when it’s done
✅ Once the transfer is complete, you’ll be able to manage DNS, renewals, and settings directly from your Zentec client area.
ℹ️ Important Notes:
-
The domain's expiration date will be extended by one year after a successful transfer
-
Some domain extensions (.ca, .uk, etc.) have additional rules — contact us if unsure
-
If the transfer fails, no fees will be charged, and you can retry after fixing the issue
