Transfer your domain to DomainsOnline
Keep your domain name and move its management to us: one account for your domains, hosting and invoices.
Your website and e-mail keep running during the transfer, because the nameservers stay the same until you change them.Start a transfer
How a transfer works
Three steps. The only difference between .co.za and the international extensions is how you approve the move.
- Step 1
Get the domain ready
Check that the registrant e-mail address is current. For .com and other international domains, unlock the domain and ask your registrar for the EPP code.
- Step 2
Order the transfer
Enter the domain above, add the EPP code if it has one and pay the transfer fee with PayFast. We then send the request to the registry.
- Step 3
Approve the move
For .co.za, the registrant approves the request by e-mail. For international domains the EPP code is the approval. You get an e-mail when the transfer is done.
What you need
.co.za, .org.za and other .za domains
- Access to the registrant's e-mail address: the registrant has to approve the transfer.
- No EPP code. Leave that field empty.
.com, .net, .org and other gTLDs
- The EPP code from your current registrar.
- The domain unlocked at your current registrar.

Frequently asked questions
Where do I find my EPP code?
Your current registrar gives it to you, usually in its control panel or on request by e-mail. .co.za and other .za domains do not need one.
Will my website and e-mail stop working?
No. The nameservers stay the same during the transfer, so your website and e-mail keep running. Once the domain is with us, you can move them to our nameservers when you are ready.
How long does a transfer take?
Can I transfer many domains at once?
Yes. Use the bulk transfer for up to 20 domains in one go.
Moving your website too?
Order a hosting plan and open a ticket. Our team moves your website and e-mail from your old host.
