When a domain is transferred, the name servers associated with the domain will stay the same (e.g., ns1.OldRegistrar.com and ns2.OldRegistrar.com). However, as the domain is no longer with the Old Registrar, the Old Registrar’s name servers will stop responding to any queries for your domain. This causes downtime until you switch your domain to our DNS.

Learn how to reduce downtime during transfers in this article.

NOTE: If you are using a third party DNS like your hosting company, the domain transfer will not cause any downtime issues (as the DNS server settings will not change during the transfer).

Please complete the following steps to transfer your domain away from Hover:

• Deselect the locking and privacy options on the right.
• Copy your authorization code so you can provide this to the new service provider.
