Transferring a domain to Smartweb is typically straightforward and doesn’t require coding knowledge. Follow these simplified steps:
1. Create a Smartweb Account: If you don’t have one, sign up for an account here
2. Check Eligibility: Ensure your domain is eligible for transfer (e.g., it’s at least 60 days old, not recently transferred, and not close to expiration).The internet corporation for Assigned names and numbers (ICANN) applied this rule to geberic and new domain names that use TLDs like .com, .org, .net, .info etc to protect registrants against unauthorized transfer attempt.
3. Unlock Domain: Log in to your current registrar’s control panel and unlock your domain or request your current registrar to unlock the domain name.
4. Get Authorization Code: Request the authorization code (EPP code) from your current registrar.
5. Initiate Transfer: In your Smartweb account, find the option for domain transfer and initiate the process by placing order with your EPP code
6. Enter Authorization Code: During the transfer process, provide the authorization code obtained from your current registrar.
7. Confirm Transfer: Confirm the transfer request and click on add to cart.
8. Pay Transfer Fee: Note that you are paying for the service renewal fee for your domain name as transfer of domain name to Smartweb is totally free.
9. Wait for Approval: The transfer request usually takes a few days to be approved (3 to 7days) by both registrars. You may receive emails notifying you of the progress.
10. Verify Successful Transfer: Once the transfer is complete, verify that your domain is now listed under the new registrar and update your domain nameserver to the new server if you have with Smartweb.
