This guide explains how to transfer a domain from Hostinger 

(Note: .uk domains include .co.uk, .org.uk)

Please note that for a non .uk domain name (for example a .com, .org, .net etc.), you should make sure you have at least 7 days left before it's due to expire when you start the transfer, and for a .uk domain name 48 hours is recommended.

To transfer a non .uk domain:

1. Log in to your Hostinger.com account
2. Navigate to the Domains section on your panel and select the domain you wish to transfer
3. Ensure that your domain is unlocked for transfer by selecting “Transfer Lock” and setting it to disabled
4. The code will be displayed on the Domain Information as a “Secret Key” - This can be viewed by selecting the eye icon next to it
5. If the code isn’t visible, you may need to open a customer service ticket with Hostinger
6. Once you have the code, visit 
7. https://hub.lyricalhost.com/cart.php?a=add&domain=transfer and enter your domain name and code
8. This will charge you the equivalent of one year's renewal of the domain, as we have to renew the domain during transfer. Don't worry - you will just get one extra year on top of the expiry date, you won't lose any time you already have left on the domain
9. Allow the domain transfer to complete - This can take between 5-7 working days, make sure to regularly monitor your emails as any information or update regarding the transfer will be sent to the administrative contact email address

To transfer a .uk domain:

1. Log in to your Hostinger.com account
2. You’ll need to open a customer service request (Either through chat, through a ticket or by phone) and request that they change the IPS Tag to STACK
3. Once they have confirmed they’ve done so, visit https://hub.lyricalhost.com/cart.php?a=add&domain=transfer
4. Enter your domain to begin the transfer (You don’t need an EPP Key for .uk domains)
5. Your domain transfer will occur in the next 24 hours - You’ll be charged the equivalent of one year’s renewal of the domain as we’ll need to do so during transfer, but don’t worry! You’ll get the extra year on top of the expiry date, and you won’t lose any time left on the domain.
