Do you intend to switch hosts for your GoDaddy domain? Although it may seem complicated, transferring a domain is actually a simple process that can be finished in a few quick steps. We’ll walk you through the process of moving your GoDaddy domain to a different host in this article.
Verify that your domain qualifies for transfer before starting the transfer procedure. You should do the following checks to do this:
– Your domain is unlocked
– Your domain is at least 60 days old
– Your domain is not currently subject to a legal hold or dispute
– You have the authorization code from GoDaddy, commonly known as an EPP code or transfer key. You can move on to the following step after confirming that your domain qualifies for transfer.
You must carry out the following actions to start the transfer:
– Access your GoDaddy account. – Access the Domain Manager – Decide which domain you wish to move
– Select “Transfer domain away from GoDaddy” from the menu. – Enter the transfer permission code and confirm it. Your domain transfer request will be started once you have finished these steps, and a confirmation email will be sent to you.
Step 3: Watch for the Transfer to Finish Normally, the transfer procedure takes 5-7 days to complete. Your domain might experience some outage and your website might not be available during this time. However, you shouldn’t be concerned because this is normal. Once the transfer is finished, the new host will be able to access your website.
A service that routes a domain to another URL is called domain forwarding. If you have several domains and wish to reroute them to a single website, this service is helpful. You can use domain forwarding, for instance, to send all three of your domain names, example.com, example.net, and example.org, to a single website, such as examplewebsite.com.
You must take the following actions to direct non-www to GoDaddy:
To redirect a domain, first log into your GoDaddy account, then navigate to the Domain Manager, then choose the domain you wish to redirect, then select the “DNS Zone File” option. – Create a new “A” record with the information below:
– Host: @
– Directs users to: Your server’s IP address – TTL: 1 Hour – Save the modifications All non-www traffic will be routed to your GoDaddy website once you have finished these steps.
A service called website forwarding directs a website to a different URL. If you wish to temporarily or permanently reroute users to another website, this service can be helpful. For instance, you may utilize website forwarding to send users to a temporary website while you remodel your website. This will keep them on your old website until the new one is ready.
