Bulk Domain Transfer Guide

Before you start

Prepare one complete domain or website URL per line. You can check up to 50 unique domains at once. A keyword without an extension is not valid for transfer.

How to transfer

1. Paste or type your entries in the search box.
2. Review the counter and click Check Transfers.
3. Use the filters to review transfer candidates, unregistered names and support-confirmation results.
4. Select the domains you want to move and review their transfer prices in Your Cart.
5. Click Continue with Transfers.
6. Enter each EPP/Auth Code where the secure cart requests it. For a UK domain, follow the IPS TAG process below instead.
7. Review the spelling, contact details, price and applicable renewal term before payment.
8. After placing the order, watch your email and current registrar account for any approval request.

EPP/Auth Code: where and when to enter it

An EPP Code, Auth Code, transfer code, authorization code and transfer password generally mean the credential used to authorize a registrar transfer. The name differs by registry and registrar.

• Request a fresh code from the current registrar and copy it exactly; codes can be case-sensitive and may contain symbols.
• Enter the code only on the secure domain-configuration step after clicking Continue with Transfers.
• Use the code for the matching domain only. Do not exchange codes between domains.
• If checkout does not request a code, do not insert a dummy value. Follow the extension-specific instruction or contact Support.
• A valid code does not override a registrar lock, registry hold, dispute, eligibility rule or recent-transfer restriction.

Special process for UK domains

1. Check and add the UK domain to your transfer order; leave an EPP field empty if no code is requested.
2. Contact Yes Domain Support with the order number and request the exact receiving IPS TAG.
3. At the current registrar, choose transfer away/change registrar and enter that tag exactly.
4. The current registrar pushes the domain to the new tag. Processing and acceptance depend on the receiving registrar and registry workflow.
5. Keep the registrant details correct and check the Yes Domain account until the domain becomes active.

Do not guess the IPS TAG. A wrong tag can send the domain to another registrar. For .sch.uk and any restricted UK namespace, contact Support before payment because manual handling may be required.

Common international extension requirements

The table is a practical starting point, not a guarantee of eligibility. Registry policies, registrar support and checkout fields decide the final process.

If an extension is shown as Check with Support or Transfer Not Offered, do not pay or change the losing registrar until Yes Domain confirms the supported process.

URLs and subdomains

• https://shop.example.com/page is checked as example.com.
• app.company.co.in is checked as company.co.in.
• A keyword without an extension, such as newbrand, is rejected because there is no registered domain to transfer.
• Your extension is never silently changed to another extension.

Understanding results

• Ready to Transfer: The domain is registered and Yes Domain has online transfer pricing for its extension.
• Available to Register: The name appears unregistered, so there is nothing to transfer.
• Check with Support: Transfer support or status needs confirmation from Yes Domain Support.
• Transfer Not Offered: Online transfer is not configured for that extension, so it cannot be selected.
• Invalid Domain: Correct the spelling or format and search again.

Prepare each domain

• Unlock the domain at its current registrar.
• Request the correct EPP/Auth Code, transfer token or IPS TAG instruction for that extension.
• Make sure the domain is active and not blocked by a recent-registration, previous-transfer or change-of-registrant restriction.
• Resolve any unpaid balance, dispute, abuse hold, registry hold or ownership-verification problem.
• Keep the registrant email accessible in case the registry or registrar sends an approval request.
• Do not change registrant details immediately before transfer unless the current registrar confirms it will not create a transfer lock.
• Start early. An expired or near-expiry domain may require renewal at the current registrar depending on the extension and provider.

A “Ready to Transfer” result confirms that the domain is registered and priced for transfer; final eligibility is decided by the current registrar and registry after submission.

Pricing, renewal term and expiry date

• The tool displays Yes Domain's configured transfer price, which may differ from registration and renewal prices.
• Many generic extensions add one year after a successful transfer, but this is not universal.
• Some country-code extensions keep the existing expiry date, use registry-specific billing, or require a separate renewal.
• A paid order does not guarantee completion. If the registry rejects the transfer, Support will review the order according to the applicable refund and registry rules.

Transfer timing and approvals

Some transfers finish quickly after approval; others can take several days. The exact time depends on the current registrar, receiving registrar, registry and whether manual verification is required. Approving a transfer-away request at the current registrar may speed up an eligible transfer, while ignoring required emails can delay or cancel it.

Why a transfer can fail

• The EPP/Auth Code is incorrect, expired, regenerated or copied with an extra space.
• The domain is locked, on hold, suspended, disputed or subject to a court/registry restriction.
• The domain is within an applicable 60-day registration, previous-transfer or change-of-registrant lock.
• The registrant cannot complete an email, identity, KYC, local-presence or eligibility check.
• The domain expired or entered a lifecycle stage that the current registrar does not permit transferring.
• A UK IPS TAG was incorrect, not changed, rejected or sent before the receiving instructions were confirmed.
• The extension is not configured for online transfer at Yes Domain.

Website, DNS and email during transfer

A registrar transfer normally does not change the domain's nameservers automatically, so the website and email should continue using the existing DNS. However, you should record the current nameservers and DNS records before starting. Do not cancel the old DNS or hosting service until the transfer is complete and the domain is visible in your Yes Domain account.

Transfer versus registrant change

A registrar transfer moves domain management from one registrar to another. It does not automatically change the legal registrant or owner. If ownership also needs to change, ask Support first because a registrant change may have separate documents, fees, approvals or transfer-lock consequences.

Managing your cart

Use the × button to remove one domain. Clear selection removes only newly selected domains. Empty Cart removes all existing cart items after confirmation.

Before you pay: final checklist

• Every domain spelling and extension is correct.
• The domain is unlocked and eligible.
• The matching EPP/Auth Code is ready, or the UK IPS TAG process is understood.
• The registrant email and account are accessible.
• Required KYC, local presence and registry documents are available.
• You have reviewed the transfer price, renewal term and cart total.
• You will keep the current hosting and DNS active until completion.
