Transfer
How do I transfer a domain name to Hosterwise?
A transfer moves the management of your domain to Hosterwise without taking your site offline. Unlock the domain at your current registrar, get its authorisation code (EPP code), then order the transfer. One year of renewal is usually included and added to the expiry date.
Unlock the domain
At your current registrar, turn off the transfer lock.
Step 1
Get the EPP code
This authorisation code proves you own the domain.
Step 2
Order the transfer
Enter the domain in the form, pay for the transfer, then add its code in your account: we start the process right away.
It is your site’s address on the internet, for example my-business.com. It combines a name you choose with an extension (.com, .fr, .eu…). It also lets you create professional e-mail addresses such as hello@my-business.com. You register it for one year, renewable for as long as you wish.
Which extension should I choose?
.com remains the international reference. .fr builds trust with a French audience, while .eu, .be or .ch target Europe, Belgium or Switzerland. Registering several extensions protects your brand and stops someone else from registering a look-alike address that could confuse your customers.
Does my domain renew automatically?
Yes. Each domain name is a yearly subscription that renews automatically when it is due, so it cannot expire by accident and be picked up by someone else. From your customer area you can check the renewal date, update your payment method or stop the renewal if you no longer need the domain.
Can I use my domain with another host?
Yes, you stay free: from your customer area you can change your domain’s name servers (DNS) to point it at the host of your choice. Of course, the simplest option is to pair it with Hosterwise hosting, where our team takes care of the configuration for you.
Do I need to provide any specific information?
As with any registrar, the owner’s details (name, address, e-mail) are passed on to the extension’s registry. Some extensions require additional information, for example to check eligibility: in that case a dedicated form is offered after your order, from your customer area.
Is a domain included with the hosting?
No, domains are ordered separately, from 7,99 € per year. You can also keep a domain registered elsewhere: simply point it to your Hosterwise hosting, or transfer it to us to manage your domain and hosting from the same customer area.
