This article only applies if you own your own top-level domain. If you have been using the free subdomain option with sites.grinnell.edu through Grinnell College, this does not<\/strong> apply to you.<\/p>\n

Similarly, if you’re migrating your content to Reclaim Hosting<\/a>, this article does not<\/strong> apply to you.<\/p>\n

Transferring a domain you already own is not too much different from registering a new domain, except the transfer process requires an\u00a0EPP\u00a0code<\/strong>, or an agreement code between your old registrar and your new\u00a0registrar that allows the release of your domain. Your new registrar will have information on how to transfer in a domain. When you start that process, you will be prompted to enter your\u00a0EPP\u00a0code.<\/p>\n

How to find your\u00a0EPP\u00a0Code<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. To get started you’ll need to login to your control panel (https:\/\/sites.grinnell.edu\/dashboard<\/a>) using your Sites at Grinnell College username\u00a0and password.
    \n    \"Screenshot<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Once you\u2019re logged in, you\u2019ll see the cPanel interface. \u00a0Now click on the Manage Your Account<\/strong> menu at the top of your screen and select Migration Information<\/strong>.
    \n\"\"<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    3. Click the Lock<\/strong> button to unlock your Grinnell College account.<\/p>\n

    4. Click Get Code<\/strong>. Once that’s done, the\u00a0system will send you\u00a0an email with your EPP code.<\/p>\n

    At this stage, here are a few items to note:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • You’ll receive a series of emails from both your old and new registrars asking you to authorize the transfer. Please act on\u00a0every<\/em> email you receive in a timely fashion– even if the emails look like duplicates.<\/li>\n
    • If you do not authorize the transfer in a timely fashion, the domain transfer will expire and you will need to start over.<\/li>\n
    • The domain must be older than 60 days.<\/li>\n
    • The domain must have no other transfers in the last 60 days.<\/li>\n
    • The domain transfer process can take up to a week, depending on how fast your registrars work.<\/li>\n
    • Once the domain transfer completes, you’ll receive a notification.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
