Domain Transfer FAQs
What is an EPP code and how do I get it for my .ae domain?
An EPP (Extensible Provisioning Protocol) code, or authorization code, is a unique key required to transfer your .ae domain. It is provided by your current registrar. To obtain it, log into your domain management panel and navigate to the transfer or security section, where you can request the code be sent to your email address on file.
How long does it take to transfer a .ae or .com.ae domain?
A standard transfer for UAE domain extensions (.ae, .com.ae) typically completes within 5 to 7 business days after initiation. This timeframe allows for mandatory verification steps and includes a period for your current registrar to potentially cancel the request. The process cannot be accelerated.
Will my website or email go down during the transfer?
No, your website and email services should remain fully operational during the domain transfer process. The transfer only changes the registrar, not the hosting or DNS settings. To ensure uninterrupted service, do not modify your domain’s nameservers until the transfer is fully confirmed.
Common reasons for transfer rejection include: the domain being locked at the current registrar, an incorrect or missing EPP code, the domain being registered or transferred within the last 60 days, or the domain’s registrant information not matching the transfer request. Verify these details with your current provider.
What are the specific requirements to transfer a .ae domain?
To transfer a .ae domain, ensure it has been registered for over 60 days, is unlocked at your current registrar, and that you have a valid EPP code. You must also confirm that the admin contact email is active, as this is where transfer authorization requests are sent for approval.
Do I get an extra year of registration when I transfer?
Yes, when you successfully transfer your .ae or .com domain to Truehost, we automatically add one year of registration to your existing expiry date. This applies to most transfer-eligible extensions. The renewal year is included in the transfer fee; no additional purchase is required.
What happens to my DNS and nameserver settings during transfer?
Your DNS and nameserver settings remain unchanged during the transfer unless you manually update them. The transfer process only moves the domain’s registration management to Truehost. After the transfer completes, you can manage all DNS records directly from your Truehost dashboard.
Can I cancel a domain transfer once it has started?
Yes, you can cancel a domain transfer while it is in progress, typically within the first few days before your current registrar approves the release. To cancel, you must contact your current registrar’s support team directly and request they reject the incoming transfer request.
How do I find out who my current domain registrar is?
Perform a WHOIS lookup for your domain through the .ae Domain Registry’s official website or ICANN’s lookup tool. The results will display the current sponsoring registrar. Your domain management emails and invoices also contain this information.
Are there costs associated with transferring my domain to Truehost?
Yes, there is a transfer fee, which is equivalent to a one-year renewal for your domain. This payment is made to Truehost to initiate the process and includes the additional year of registration. Ensure your domain is not near its expiry, as some registrars may charge a renewal upon transfer.
