How to Transfer a Domain to GrabbyHost from Name.com

Moving a domain from Name.com to GrabbyHost only takes a few steps. This guide covers unlocking the domain and getting its authorization code in Name.com, then completing the transfer in your GrabbyHost client area.

Step 1: Prepare Your Domain in Name.com

1. Log in to your Name.com account and go to My Domains.
2. Select the domain you want to transfer.
3. Under the domain's settings, turn off Transfer Lock so it's unlocked.
4. Disable WHOIS Privacy temporarily if it's on, then use Get EPP Code to request the authorization code – Name.com emails it to the domain's registrant contact address.

Note: a domain can't be transferred within 60 days of registration, a previous transfer, or certain registrant 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 Name.com.
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.
