What is a transfer code (Auth Code)?

The Auth code, also known as the transfer code, is used to transfer the domain name to another provider. It also provides an additional security feature by guaranteeing that the customer transferring the domain really is the owner.

This code is required in order to transfer a domain name.

Prerequisites before retrieving the transfer code for an Online domain

Before transferring a domain name, it is advisable to back up your data. Some service providers can cut off web space as soon as the domain name is no longer with them. To avoid any loss of data, it is therefore preferable to have a backup.

Before transferring your domain name, you can also change the DNS servers at Online to link your domain to your LWS web space. It will be impossible to change the DNS servers on most extensions during the transfer of your domain name, which can take from 5 to 10 days.
