Three promises:
1) You never give us a password.
2) You never need our accounts.
3) The domain is always yours, in your name. If you ever leave Slate, we give it back to you.
Your domain is your web address, like yourcompany.com. You already own it. To put your new Slate website on it, we just need you to hand it over. Here is how, in a few short steps, and you never touch anything technical.
🛠 How to hand it over: transfer it to us
We move your domain into our account, so we manage everything and you never touch a thing. It stays in your name, we cover the yearly renewal while you are with us, and if you ever leave we hand it back to you, free, within days.
Do not worry. Text us your domain name and we check it, then send you the exact steps. You are never stuck.
Three short steps on your side. After that, we do all the rest.
Unlock your domain
Sign in where you bought your domain and turn off the "lock" (sometimes called "registrar lock" or "transfer lock"). See your provider below for exactly where it is.
Copy your transfer code
Find your EPP code (also called "auth code," "authorization code," or "transfer code"). It is a short mix of letters, numbers, and symbols. Copy it exactly.
Send it to us and approve the email
Text us your domain name and the EPP code. We start the move. Your provider then emails you to confirm the transfer, just click approve. That is it.
The rules (ICANN) do not allow a transfer if your domain is less than 60 days old, if you just changed its owner, or if you just moved it from another company. No problem. Tell us anyway. We set your site up right away and finish the move as soon as the rules allow. You still do nothing extra.
Where to find these settings (pick your provider)
- Sign in at godaddy.com and open your Domain Portfolio.
- Click your domain. Under Transfer, click "Transfer to another registrar" and continue.
- GoDaddy may text or email you a code to confirm it is you. Enter it.
- Click "See Authorization Code" and copy it. GoDaddy also emails the code to you.
Google Domains moved to Squarespace, so your domain is now managed at Squarespace.
- Sign in at account.squarespace.com and open Domains.
- Click your domain. Turn OFF the "Domain Lock" toggle.
- Click "Request transfer code". Squarespace shows it or emails it to you.
- Your domain must be at least 60 days old here to transfer.
- Sign in at wix.com and go to your Domains page.
- Open the domain's "Domain Actions" menu and click "Transfer away from Wix".
- Wix unlocks the domain for you and emails you the transfer code (EPP) within 24 hours, to your contact email.
- Sign in at hpanel.hostinger.com and open Domains.
- Click your domain and unlock it.
- Find and copy the EPP code (auth code).
- Your domain must be at least 60 days old to transfer.
Is your domain already at Namecheap? Good news, that is the same company we use, so it is even easier. Just tell us your domain name and we move it into our account for you. No transfer code needed, no password needed.
No problem. Just text us your domain name and we find out where it lives and send you the exact steps. If you want to check yourself, look it up free at lookup.icann.org and read the "Registrar" line.
? Common questions
