1and1 transfer domain to new owner

Transferring a domain from 1&1 to a new owner involves several steps. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you through the process:

Prerequisites:

1. The domain is registered with 1&1.
2. The new owner has an account with 1&1 or another domain registrar.
3. The new owner has the necessary information to complete the transfer, such as the domain name, password, and contact information.

Step 1: Prepare the Domain for Transfer

1. Log in to your 1&1 account and go to the "Domain" section.
2. Find the domain you want to transfer and click on the "Manage" button.
3. Scroll down to the "Domain Settings" section and click on "Edit".
4. Update the domain's contact information to reflect the new owner's details.
5. Make sure the domain's status is set to "Active" and the auto-renewal is disabled.

Step 2: Generate an Authorization Code (EPP Code)

1. Log in to your 1&1 account and go to the "Domain" section.
2. Find the domain you want to transfer and click on the "Manage" button.
3. Scroll down to the "Domain Settings" section and click on "Edit".
4. Click on the "Generate EPP Code" button.
5. Note down the EPP code, as you'll need it later.

Step 3: Initiate the Transfer

1. Log in to the new owner's 1&1 account or another domain registrar's account.
2. Go to the "Domain" section and click on "Add Domain".
3. Enter the domain name and select the "Transfer" option.
4. Enter the EPP code you generated in Step 2.
5. Fill in the new owner's contact information and any other required fields.
6. Review the transfer details and agree to the terms and conditions.

Step 4: Verify the Transfer

1. The new owner will receive an email from 1&1 with a verification link to confirm the transfer.
2. The new owner must click on the verification link to complete the transfer.

Step 5: Update the Domain Settings

1. Once the transfer is complete, the new owner should update the domain's settings, such as the DNS settings, to reflect their preferences.

Tips and Reminders:

• Make sure the domain is not locked or on hold before initiating the transfer.
• The transfer process can take up to 5-7 days to complete.
• The new owner should ensure they have the necessary funds to cover the transfer fee, if applicable.
• If the transfer is not completed successfully, the domain will remain with the original owner.

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully transfer a domain from 1&1 to a new owner.
