The following tasks need to be completed before a domain can be transferred:

  • Domain privacy needs to be disabled.
  • The administrative email contact needs to be up-to-date.
  • The domain needs to be unlocked.
  • You will need your domain's transfer authorization code.

Please complete the following steps to transfer your domain away from Hover:

  1. Sign in to your Hover account online at https://www.hover.com/signin
  2. If you have more than one domain name in  your account, click on the domain name that you are transferring away.

  3. To make sure domain privacy is disabled, select Yes next to Show Public Contact Details.

  4. In the Registration Records section, click on Edit next to the Admin contact.

  5. Correct your admin email address, as required, and then click Save.

  6. To remove the transfer lock, select Off in the Transfer Lock section.



  7. Record your transfer authorization code, or click on the Copy link to copy it to your computer's clipboard so you can paste it later.

  8. After completing the above steps, contact your new service provider and ask them to initiate the transfer.  After being initiated, domain transfers can take 5-7 days to be completed.
