Already have a domain registered elsewhere? Transferring it to Ozzietel is easy β and it allows you to manage your domain, hosting, and email services in one convenient place. Follow this guide to move your domain over seamlessly.
π Before You Begin #
Make sure the following are in place before starting your transfer:
- β Your domain is older than 60 days (for global domains like .com, .net)
- β The domain is unlocked at your current registrar
- β You have access to the admin email address linked to the domain
- β Youβve obtained the EPP/Auth code
- β WHOIS privacy protection is disabled
π Step 1: Unlock the Domain and Get Your EPP Code #
Log in to your current registrar and:
- Locate the domain you want to transfer.
- Ensure the domain is unlocked.
- Request or view the EPP/Auth code.
- Disable WHOIS privacy so Ozzietel can verify the domain via email.
π§ The EPP code may be sent to your admin email or be visible in your dashboard.
π Step 2: Initiate the Transfer with Ozzietel #
- Visit https://ozzietel.com.au/cart.php?a=add&domain=transfer
- Click Domains β Transfer Domain.
- Enter your domain name and click Transfer.
- Enter the EPP code when prompted.
- Continue through checkout to finalise the transfer.
π³ Most domain transfers include a 1-year renewal upon completion.
π¦πΊ Note: Australian domains (e.g., .com.au, .net.au) do not require a 1-year renewal during transfer. You’ll retain your existing expiry date.
βοΈ Step 3: Approve the Transfer via Email #
- Check the admin email associated with the domain.
- Look for a transfer approval email and click the confirmation link.
- Approve the transfer.
β Once approved, the domain transfer typically completes within 5β7 days, although .au domains often transfer much faster β sometimes within a few hours.
β Final Steps #
- Youβll receive a confirmation from Ozzietel once the transfer is complete.
- Log in to your Ozzietel Client Portal to manage your domain settings.
- Update your DNS records if youβre pointing the domain to a new server or hosting plan.
