Transferring a Domain to Eco Web Hosting

Last updated on Apr 30, 2025

Already own a domain elsewhere? You can transfer it to Eco Web Hosting for easier management, simplified billing, and seamless integration with your hosting services.

This guide walks you through the steps for transferring most common domain types, such as .com, .net, and .co.uk.


🔐 Step 1: Prepare Your Domain for Transfer

Before starting the transfer from your current provider:

  • Unlock the domain (remove registrar lock)

  • Obtain the EPP/Auth code (also called a transfer key or domain password)

  • Ensure WHOIS contact details are correct

  • Disable any domain privacy or protection services

  • Make sure the domain hasn’t been registered or transferred in the last 60 days

🔄 For .co.uk domains, you’ll need to ask your current provider to update the IPS Tag


🚀 Step 2: Start the Transfer in Your Client Area

  1. Log in to https://my.ecowebhosting.co.uk

  2. Go to Domains > Transfer a Domain to Us

  3. Enter the domain you’d like to transfer

  4. Provide the EPP/Auth code (if required)

  5. Click Add to Cart and proceed to checkout


🕒 Step 3: Wait for Confirmation

Once the transfer is submitted:

  • You may receive an email asking you to confirm the transfer (for gTLDs like .com)

  • Most transfers complete within 24–72 hours, depending on the domain type and current registrar


✅ Once Complete

You’ll be able to manage the domain fully from your Eco Web Hosting client area — including DNS, renewals, and contact details.
