Dynadot Help

This comprehensive guide walks you through every step of the domain registrar transfer process, from obtaining your authorization code from Spaceship to finalizing your transfer with Dynadot.

Spaceship to Dynadot Domain Transfer Requirements

Please ensure the following conditions are met before initiating the transfer:

• Your domain cannot be transferred if it has been registered or transferred within the last 60 days.

• We recommend starting your domain transfer at least 2 weeks before the domain's expiration date.

• Unlock your domain and get your authorization code from your Spaceship account. Here is how:

  • Sign in to your Spaceship account.

  • Go to Domain Manager section.

  • Click on your domain, then choose 'Transfer' from the sidebar.

  • Hit the "Transfer domain" button under Transfer to a new registrar and confirm the disclaimer about disconnection of services.

  • Click the "Unlock domain" button on the next pop-up window.

  • Copy the appeared Authorization/EPP code code and provide it to the gaining registrar.

(Optional) Visit your Domain Manager in your Spaceship account to approve and speed up the transfer process.

Possible Issues When Transferring a Domain

While domain registrar transfers are generally smooth, you may encounter some common issues. These include:

1. Domains being locked.

2. Having incorrect WHOIS information.

3. The domain is expired or near expiration, preventing the transfer.

4. Missing or inaccurate authorization codes.

5. Delays in email verification.

Additionally, some domains may have registrar-specific restrictions or be within the 60-day transfer lock period. Make sure to check the steps above to ensure your transfer goes smoothly.
