🌐 Transferring Your Domain to Ozzietel

2 min read

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.


πŸ“ Before You Begin #

Make sure the following are in place before starting your transfer:

  • βœ… Your domain is older than 60 days (for global domains like .com, .net)
  • βœ… The domain is unlocked at your current registrar
  • βœ… You have access to the admin email address linked to the domain
  • βœ… You’ve obtained the EPP/Auth code
  • βœ… WHOIS privacy protection is disabled

πŸ” Step 1: Unlock the Domain and Get Your EPP Code #

Log in to your current registrar and:

  1. Locate the domain you want to transfer.
  2. Ensure the domain is unlocked.
  3. Request or view the EPP/Auth code.
  4. Disable WHOIS privacy so Ozzietel can verify the domain via email.

πŸ“§ The EPP code may be sent to your admin email or be visible in your dashboard.


🚚 Step 2: Initiate the Transfer with Ozzietel #

  1. Visit https://ozzietel.com.au/cart.php?a=add&domain=transfer
  2. Click Domains β†’ Transfer Domain.
  3. Enter your domain name and click Transfer.
  4. Enter the EPP code when prompted.
  5. Continue through checkout to finalise the transfer.

πŸ’³ Most domain transfers include a 1-year renewal upon completion.
πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί 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.


βœ‰οΈ Step 3: Approve the Transfer via Email #

  1. Check the admin email associated with the domain.
  2. Look for a transfer approval email and click the confirmation link.
  3. Approve the transfer.

βŒ› Once approved, the domain transfer typically completes within 5–7 days, although .au domains often transfer much faster β€” sometimes within a few hours.


βœ… Final Steps #

  • You’ll 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 you’re pointing the domain to a new server or hosting plan.
