If you want to have all your domains and hosting in one place so you can pay for them and manage them all in one place, you will want to transfer a domain to InMotion Hosting.

If you do not wish to have hosting, you need to have an account established in AMP or Platform InMotion to facilitate your domain transfer.<br>\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Get the <strong>Authorization code<\/strong> (sometimes called <strong>AUTH<\/strong>, or <strong>EPP<\/strong> code) from your registrar.<br>\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remove <strong>Domain Privacy<\/strong> if you have it on your domain.<br>\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you plan to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/domain-names\/changing-your-domains-nameservers\/\">change your nameservers<\/a>, please do so either <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">before or after<\/span> requesting a domain transfer, not during the transfer process. It is not recommended to update your nameservers during the transfer process (which can take up to 10 days to complete).<br>\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">the domain is unlocked<\/span> with the old registrar before making the request. \u201cUnlocking\u201d a domain name is the removal of the lock on your domain name that prevents the domain from being transferred.

You will be sent an email to this email address, and failure to receive this email will result in a failed domain transfer. Please contact your current registrar to manage your whois details.

This is an error with the WHOIS lookup in AMP (Account Management Panel).<\/p><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Advanced option will immediately ask you for the authorization code. You should only use this option if you are confident that you meet all the requirements for the domain to be transferred. The walkthrough starts by checking to see if your domain is unlocked and eligible to be transferred.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Step 2 checks on the status of domain privacy for your domain. Privacy would need to be removed before you can transfer the domain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Step 3 checks on your nameserver settings. You can elect to use InMotion\u2019s nameservers. If your domain will be hosted by InMotion\u2019s servers, then you should be using InMotion\u2019s nameservers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Step 4 asks for your authorization code. This is where the advanced option starts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Step 5 verifies that you can access the Administrator email listed on the domain\u2019s WHOIS information.  In some cases, this email is not directly accessed. The existing domain registrar will need to provide a way for you to get any messages (to the domain administrator) should this be the case.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Step 6 is an order form. If you have existing credits for a free domain transfer, then they will appear here.  A domain transfer adds 1 year to the domain\u2019s registration. There is no way to add multiple years in the AMP interface and there is only an option to pay by credit card. You would need to contact our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/amp\/how-to-contact-customer-service\/\">Customer Service<\/a> team for any requests for different payment options.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Step 7 is the confirmation email from OpenSRS. This is the email that is sent to the Administrator email in order to confirm the transfer process.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The transfer process has now begun. Remember that domain transfers can take up to 14 days. You will be notified via email when the domain transfer process is completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"check-transfer-status\">How to Check the Status of Your Domain Transfer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list article_list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/amp\/how-to-log-into-amp\/\">Login to AMP<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Roll your mouse over the <strong>DOMAINS<\/strong> menu, then click the <strong>DOMAIN TRANSFERS<\/strong> link.<br><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"667\" height=\"379\" class=\"std_ss size-full wp-image-6437\" src=\"\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/revamp_domain-transfer.png\" alt=\"Domain Transfers Screen\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/revamp_domain-transfer.png 667w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/revamp_domain-transfer-300x170.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scroll down to the <em>Existing Domain Transfers<\/em> sections, and you will see the status listed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hosting Unlimited Domains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know that with a dedicated server, you can host unlimited domains?
