00:00Hey everyone, in this video, I'll walk you through the step-by-step process of transferring

00:04a domain name from Namecheap to Cloudflare.

00:07Whether you're looking to take advantage of Cloudflare's powerful security and performance

00:10features, or simply want to consolidate your domains under one registrar, this video will

00:14guide you through the entire process.

00:23Step 1.

00:24Check Domain Transfer Eligibility Before we begin, let's ensure that your domain

00:29is eligible for transfer.

00:30According to ICANN rules, a domain cannot be transferred if it has been registered or

00:35previously transferred within the last 60 days.

00:37The WHOIS registrant contact information was modified in the last 60 days.

00:42The domain is currently locked or has a status that prevents transfers.

00:46To check if your domain meets these requirements, log in to your Namecheap account, go to the

00:50domain list, and click Manage next to the domain you want to transfer.

00:54Step 2.

00:55Unlock your domain and obtain the auth code.

00:58Next, you'll need to unlock your domain for transfer and obtain the authorization code,

01:02also known as the auth code or EPP code.

01:04From the Manage page, go to the Sharing and Transfer tab.

01:13In the Transfer Out section, click the Unlock button to disable the registrar lock.

01:17Then, click the Get Auth Code button, and the code will be sent to the registrant email

01:21address associated with your domain.

01:23Please note that the registrant email address may be different from your Namecheap account

01:27email address.

01:28Step 3.

01:29Remove WHOIS privacy.

01:31If you have enabled WHOIS privacy for your domain, you may need to remove it temporarily.

01:37Some registrars prohibit transfers if WHOIS privacy is enabled.

01:41Step 4.

01:43Initiate the transfer on Cloudflare.

01:44Now, it's time to initiate the transfer on the Cloudflare side.

01:48Log in to your Cloudflare account and navigate to the Account Home page.

01:52Click on Transfer Domains, and Cloudflare will display the zones available for transfer.

01:57Select the domain you want to transfer and proceed with the payment process.

02:00Remember, when transferring a domain, you are required by ICANN to extend its registration

02:04by one year from the expiration date.

02:07Step 5.

02:08Enter the auth code and confirm contact information.

02:11On the next page, enter the auth code you received from Namecheap for each domain you're

02:15transferring.

02:16You'll also need to confirm or input your contact information for the registration.

02:20Cloudflare redacts this information by default, but it's essential to provide accurate WHOIS

02:25contact details.

02:26Failure to provide accurate information may result in suspension or deletion of your domain.

02:32Step 6.

02:33Approve the transfer.

02:35After submitting the transfer request, Cloudflare will send a form of authorization email to

02:40the registrant email address.

02:41Your previous registrar will also email you a confirmation link to approve the transfer.

02:46If you click the confirmation link from Namecheap, the transfer process will be accelerated.

02:50If you don't take any action, Namecheap can wait up to five days to process the transfer

02:54to Cloudflare.

02:56Step 7.

02:57Monitor the transfer status.

02:59You can check the status of your transfer in the domain registration section of your

03:02Cloudflare account.

03:03The possible statuses include, transfer in progress, Cloudflare is waiting for Namecheap

03:08to confirm the request, pending approval, Namecheap has received the request and can

03:13wait up to five days to release the domain, transfer rejected, the transfer has been rejected,

03:18and you may need to retry the process.

03:21That's it.

03:22By following these steps, you've successfully transferred your domain from Namecheap to

03:25Cloudflare.

03:31delivery, and streamlined domain management.
