How to Transfer a Domain Name to eVerity from GoDaddy
Before initiating transfers, you should be aware of the following:
- Transferring a domain name from one provider to another does not automatically change
the nameserver values, so if you are switching hosts, you should update the nameservers
before placing a transfer order.
- Domain names may not be transferred within 60 days of when they were registered.
- Most registrars will not allow expired domain names to be transferred.
- Transfers between registrars can take anywhere from 3 to 10 days to complete. During
this time it may not be possible to make changes to the domain name, so make sure that
modifications are made before initiating a transfer.
- Domain names in "locked" status can not be transferred. Please make sure the domain
is unlocked before initiating a transfer, or there could be significant delays.
- Domain name transfers are approved through email. Authorization requests are sent to
the official administrative contact's email address. Please ensure this is an address you
can check before initiating a transfer.

the transfer.
