This guide explains how to transfer Your domain name away From Siteground.
Before beginning the domain name transfer process, we would highly recommend checking your domain name’s administrative contact details and ensure that the contact details are up to date.
For Non-.uk Domain Names
Step 1: Log into Your SiteGround Account
- Visit SiteGround’s website and click the Login button in the top-right corner.
- Enter your account credentials to access your SiteGround Account.
Step 2: Unlock the Domain
- To unlock the domain name, the needed area can be found by going to Services >> Domains and select Settings next to the domain name that you’re looking to transfer.
- In the Kebab Menu Select Registrar Lock & Change the status to Off.
Note: The domain must be unlocked for the transfer to be completed successfully.
Step 3: Obtain the EPP/Auth Code
- Within the Kebab Menu, select the option for Get EPP Code, we would highly recommend keeping this safe.
Step 4: Initiate the Domain Name Transfer
- Now that the domain is unlocked and you have the EPP/Auth Code, visit https://hub.lyricalhost.com/cart.php?a=add&domain=transfer to place your transfer order.
Step 5: Approve the Transfer
- After you initiate the transfer, you will receive an email asking you to approve the transfer request.
- Click the confirmation link in the email to approve the transfer.
- Once complete the domain name transfer will take up to 7 days in order to complete.
For .UK Domain Names
For .uk domain names, the process is slightly different after unlocking the domain, as these domains do not require an EPP Code.
Step 1: Update the IPS Tag
- From the Siteground Dashboard, the needed section can be found by going to Services > Domains > Settings > Domain Name Tag.
- Update the IPS Tag to: STACK.
Step 2: Initiate the Domain Name Transfer for Your .UK Domain
- After unlocking the domain and updating the IPS Tag, visit https://hub.lyricalhost.com/cart.php?a=add&domain=transfer to place your transfer order.
