Transfer your domain

Domain Transfer

Transferring your existing domains to 1&1 is quick and easy.

Before starting the transfer, you must:

1. Contact your existing registrar to unlock your domain and get the authorization code.
2. Make your administrative contact public.

Start the process:

1. Type your domain name in the box below and click the red arrow to proceed.
2. Check the box labeled "I own this domain and want to transfer to 1&1" and click "continue."
3. Follow the prompts on your screen to start the transfer request.

What happens next:

1. We’ll send you an e-mail containing a link to an identity verification page.
2. Once we verify your identity and confirm that you are the domain's rightful owner, we’ll contact your current registrar to request release of your domain.
3. The entire process typically takes just 7 to 10 days.
4. Current 1&1 customers can conveniently view their transfer status directly from their 1&1 Control Panel.

There are no additional fees for transferring your existing domain to 1&1.

Point DNS

If you purchase a 1&1 web hosting package, you can point domains from other registrars to 1&1. This process points your domain from your registrar to 1&1 Domain Name Servers (DNS).
