# Transfer a domain to PerfGrid

> Move a domain you already own from another registrar to PerfGrid in the console, with or without changing its nameservers.

You can move a domain you own from another registrar to PerfGrid. You order the transfer in the console, and we take care of the rest with your current registrar.

> [!TIP]
>
> Moving a `.dk` domain? See [Transfer a .dk domain to PerfGrid](https://perfgrid.com/docs/domains/transfer/transfer-dk-domain.md), or use [Fast Track Transfer](https://perfgrid.com/docs/domains/transfer/fast-track-transfer.md), where you don't copy any code.

## Before you start

* Get the domain's **auth code** (also called the transfer or EPP code) from your current registrar.
* **Unlock the domain** at your current registrar.
* If the domain uses DNSSEC, **remove its DS records** at your current registrar. Otherwise the domain stops resolving when it moves.

## Transfer a domain

**1. Find the domain**

Go to [console.perfgrid.com/domains](https://console.perfgrid.com/domains), or click **Domains** in the sidebar, then **Register or transfer**. Search for the domain. It says **Taken. Transfer it to us if it is yours.**, with the transfer price next to it.

**2. Add the transfer to your cart**

Click **Transfer it**. The button changes to **In your cart**. Click it to open the cart.

**3. Enter the auth code**

Open **Domain details** on the domain's line and enter the code under **Auth code**.

**4. Choose where the domain is hosted**

Under **Hosting**, choose one of your hosting accounts, **New hosting account**, **Free DNS hosting**, or **Hosted elsewhere** to stay with your current DNS or hosting provider.

**5. Decide about the nameservers**

By default the domain keeps its current nameservers, so you can move your website first and change them later. To change them with the transfer, tick **Change the nameservers as part of the order**.

**6. Save and check out**

Click **Save**, then **Continue to checkout** and place the order. See [Order a service](https://perfgrid.com/docs/console/getting-started/order-a-service.md).

To transfer several domains, add each one to the cart the same way. Each has its own auth code.

## What a transfer costs

A transfer is paid once and covers one year for most domain endings. After that, the domain renews every year at the renewal price. For some endings the transfer adds no time, or the registry starts a new year on the day of the transfer: the domain's line in the cart tells you when.

## After you order

Once the order is paid, the domain shows under **Domains** as **Transfer in progress**. When the transfer is done, we email you and the status changes to **Active**.

### If the auth code is refused

If your current registrar doesn't accept the auth code, or the domain is still locked there, we email you. Get a new auth code and check that the domain is unlocked. Then open the domain under **Domains**, enter the new code and click **Try the transfer again**. You need the **Manage domains** permission.
