To move your domain name from one Hostinger account 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 💡
Your website and related services will not face any downtime during the process.
Step 1 – Preparation
Before you begin:
Verify whether the top-level domain (TLD) of the domain you wish to move is one of the following:
A generic top-level domain (gTLD) such as .com, .net, .online, .store, etc.
One of these country-code top-level domains (ccTLDs):
.co.uk
.in
.co.in
.gen.in
.ind.in
.net.in
.org.in
Check if your domain name:
Has been registered for more than 96 hours.
Hasn't been transferred between Hostinger accounts within the past 10 days.
Is active and doesn't expire in the next 5 days.
If these requirements are met, continue to the next step. If not, scroll down to the Troubleshooting section in this article.
Step 2 – Initiate the domain move
Go to the Domains section, open the Transfers tab on the left, and click Move domain to another Hostinger account:
Select the domain from the list and click on Continue. Then, click on Initiate domain move:
Next, enter the destination email address 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 transfer, follow the steps below:
1. Log in to the destination Hostinger account. Then, go to the Domains section and click on Accept:
2. Click on Confirm:
3. Enter the new domain contact details:
Choose the country.
Select whether the domain is your personal property or belongs to a company/organization.
Click Next step.
Enter the correct contact details.
Finally, click Finish registration.
After you change the domain owner details, you may receive a verification message for both the current and new email addresses. The domain move will be initiated once the email address change is verified 💡
After the domain move is complete, the domain will be owned by and managed from the new account.
Troubleshooting
The domain was moved between Hostinger accounts less than 10 days ago
Domains can be moved once every 10 days. In this case, wait for the 10-day period to pass and try to move the domain again.
Country-code top-level domain
If your domain ccTLD is not .in or .co.uk, update the domain owner's contact details first. They must identically match the contact details of the new Hostinger account.
If you receive a verification message to either or both of the current and new email addresses, make sure to confirm it.
After updating the domain owner's contact details, get in touch with our Customer Success team. We're happy to assist you in moving the domain.
Domain move failed
If you're getting the following error:
❌ Your domain move failed. There is already a pending action on this domain.
This means that the change in the domain contact details is already being processed. Please approve the new contact details first, and then try to move the domain name again.
