Transfer your domain
Domain Transfer
Transferring your existing domains to 1&1 is quick and easy.
Before starting the transfer, you must:
- Contact your existing registrar to unlock your domain and get the authorization code.
- Make your administrative contact public.
Start the process:
- Type your domain name in the box below and click the red arrow to proceed.
- Check the box labeled "I own this domain and want to transfer to 1&1" and click "continue."
- Follow the prompts on your screen to start the transfer request.
What happens next:
- We’ll send you an e-mail containing a link to an identity verification page.
- 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.
- The entire process typically takes just 7 to 10 days.
- 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).
