If you have two Hostinger accounts and wish to move your domain from one to another, follow the steps below.
Moving a domain between Hostinger accounts will not move your website files, databases, emails, or other related services. Only the domain name is moved 💡
During the process, your website and related services will not face any downtime.
Step 1 – Preparations
Before you begin:
Verify whether the top-level domain (TLD) of the domain you wish to transfer is one of the following:
A generic top-level domain (gTLD) such as .com, .net, .org, etc.
One of these specific country-code TLDs (ccTLDs): .in or .co.uk
Check if your domain hasn't been transferred between Hostinger accounts within the past 10 days
If these requirements are met, proceed to the next step.
Step 2 – Initiate the Domain Move
Open the Domains section, then open the Transfers tab on the left sidebar, and click on Move domain to another Hostinger account:
Select the domain from the list and click on Continue. Next, click on Initiate domain move:
Next, enter the destination email and click on Confirm:
You can cancel the domain move before the new owner confirms it by clicking on the Cancel button:
Step 3 – Confirm the Domain Move
To confirm the domain move, go to the Domains section of the new account's hPanel and click on Accept.
Enter the new domain contact details and click on Finish registration.
Once you change the domain owner details, you may receive a verification message to both the current and new email addresses; the domain move will be performed once the email address change is verified.
After the domain move is completed, the domain will be owned and managed from the new account.
Troubleshooting
Domain was moved less than 10 days ago — domains can be moved once every 10 days; in this case, wait for the 10 days period to pass and attempt to move the domain again
If your domain ccTLD is other than .in or .co.uk, first, update the domain owner's contact details to match the new account:
If you receive a verification message to either or both of the current and new email addresses, make sure to confirm it
