FAQ
Domain transfer questions answered
A domain transfer moves the management of your domain name from your current registrar to Hostraha. Your website and email continue working normally — the transfer only changes where you manage DNS records, renewals, and domain settings.
Most domain transfers complete within 5–7 days. The exact time depends on your domain extension and how quickly your current registrar processes the release. Some registrars approve transfers within hours.
An authorization code (also called EPP code or transfer key) is a unique password provided by your current registrar that proves you own the domain and authorize the transfer. You can usually find it in your registrar's control panel or request it from their support team.
