The transfer process for domain names varies, dependent on the type of domain in question.

UK domains (all domains that end .uk)

Domains ending in .uk require 2 simple steps to be completed to transfer them in instantly:

1) Update the Tag to STACK.

2) Complete the transfer via the 20i control panel.

To do these steps: 

  1. Ask your current domain provider to change the Tag of the domain name to STACK (most providers allow this via their control panel)
  2. Login to your account at My20i and click Transfer a Domain

  1. Enter the domain name and click Search
  2. Add the domain to your basket and complete checkout.
  3. The transfer will complete almost instantly.

GTLD domains (ending in .com, .net, .org and most other domains)

  1. Ask your current domain provider for the domain name Authorisation Code (Auth or EPP code)
  2. Make sure you are listed as the Admin Contact, as an e-mail will get sent here
  3. Login to your account at My20i and click Transfer a Domain
  4. Enter the domain name and click Search
  5. Add the domain to your basket and complete checkout
  6. An email will be sent - usually instantly but can take up to 6 hours - to the e-mail address listed as the Admin Contact
  7. Follow the link in this e-mail and Approve the transfer by entering the authorisation code obtained earlier
  8. Once authorised the transfer will complete automatically within 5 days

Transfers from specific providers

We've also made some handy guides to transfer your domain from popular providers, so you can start saving on renewal fees. While the information is largely the same as above, they go in to detail about how to get what you need - like the Authorisation Code - from each specific provider.
