How to Transfer a Domain to GrabbyHost from GoDaddy

Moving a domain from GoDaddy to GrabbyHost is straightforward. This guide covers what to do on the GoDaddy side, then how to complete the transfer in your GrabbyHost client area.

Step 1: Prepare Your Domain in GoDaddy

1. Log in to your GoDaddy account and go to your Domain Portfolio.
2. Select the domain you want to transfer.
3. Choose Transfer to Another Registrar under the Transfer section, and review the transfer checklist GoDaddy shows you.
4. Select Continue with transfer and complete identity verification (a 2-step verification code or one-time password).
5. Click Click here to see Authorization Code, then copy the code shown. GoDaddy will also email this auth code to the domain's registrant contact address.

Note: GoDaddy turns off domain privacy at this step so the correct contact details transfer with the domain, and a domain can't be transferred within 60 days of registration, a previous transfer, or certain contact changes.

Step 2: Start the Transfer at GrabbyHost

1. Log in to your GrabbyHost client area and go to the Domains section, or start a new order and choose Transfer My Domain.
2. Enter your domain name and the authorization code you copied from GoDaddy.
3. Complete checkout for the transfer, which includes a 1-year renewal at the new registrar.

Step 3: Approve the Transfer

You'll receive a transfer confirmation email (sent to the registrant address on file) — you may need to approve the transfer there, or it may complete automatically after the standard waiting period if no action is taken. Transfers typically complete within 5–7 days.
