  2. Navigate to Domains > My Domains
  3. Click on the domain you want to transfer
  4. Look for Get EPP Code or Authorization Code

3. Initiate Transfer with the New Registrar

Once you have the EPP code, visit your new domain provider’s website and follow their transfer process. You will typically be required to:

  • Enter the domain name
  • Provide the EPP code
  • Approve the transfer via email

4. Approve the Transfer Request

After initiating the transfer, YesDomain will send a transfer confirmation email to your registered email. You must approve this request for the transfer to proceed.
