Leslie TIta : How to transfer your domain from godaddy

A Step-by-Step Guide to Transfer Domains Out Of GoDaddy

Follow these step-by-step directions to transfer all of your domains from GoDaddy to NameCheap.

I’m Boycotting GoDaddy because they are pro-SOPA.

[edit: apparently GoDaddy changed their stance according to TechCrunch]

Step 1:  Login to GoDaddy and get to the domain manager.

Step 2:  Select all domains

Step 3:  Click on the “Locking Icon”

Step 4:  Uncheck “lock domains”

Step 5:  Find the tools tab —> “exportable lists”

Step 6:  Click on “Add New Export” button

Step 7:  Select “All My Domains” as the list type

Step 8:  Check the “Authorization codes” box

Step 9:  Generate the Exportable List

Step 10:  Create account at another provider

I chose NameCheap (affiliate link).  The rest of the images are specific to NameCheap.

EDIT: NameCheap is Against SOPA, here is their official stance.

People have also sent promo codes: “switch2nc" and "SOPAsucks" - try them too.

Step 11:  Go to “transfer domain”

Step 12:  Enter domains you wish to transfer & click “transfer”

**EDIT:  You can simply add the domain, Auth code in Step 12 above**

ex: myURL.com, authorizationcode

**Thanks to Josh Pigford for the tip**

Step 13:  Checkout

Step 14:  Update EPP (Authorization code) code from GoDaddy Export File

Boom! There you go.

UPDATED: thanks to Jordan Skole, here is a way to expedite the transfer process.

Step 15:  (Back at GoDaddy) Chose “Pending Transfers”

Step 16:  Check all the domains (note: not all of the domains are not showing up yet, this takes a few hours apparently…)

Step 17:  Check the “Accept” button and approve!

Step 18:  Adios Godaddy!

Step 19:  Transfer Complete (about 6 hours later)

Please do your part and help protect the Internet.
