How to transfer a domain to Polar55

This guide explains how to transfer a domain to polar55.

1: Get an Auth / EPP code for the domain

To transfer the domain to us, you need to provide an Auth / EPP code.

An Auth / EPP code is a kind of key that unlocks the domain, allowing it to be transferred. Only the current registrar of the domain can obtain this code, ensuring that the domain cannot be moved by others.

Therefore, before you request the transfer of your .se or .nu domain, contact your current web hosting provider and request the Auth / EPP code for the domain.

2: Order the transfer to polar55

Once you have received your Auth / EPP code from your current web hosting provider, you can order the transfer to polar55. During the ordering process, you will need to provide the Auth / EPP code, so we have it when processing your transfer.

Remember to back up your site from your old provider and save it locally on your computer.

After you have placed the transfer order, the DNS on your domain will automatically switch to our name servers. It typically takes 24-48 hours for the name server changes to propagate globally.

Also, remember that you need to move your website to our web hosting service yourself. To minimize downtime, we recommend that you do this as soon as you initiate the transfer.
