How do you transfer a domain to another provider?

To transfer a domain to another provider, you request the authorisation code from your current supplier, enter it with the new one and confirm the move.

A domain transfer changes the technical manager of the name, not its owner. Before starting, it is worth checking that the domain is unlocked, that the owner's details are correct and that the expiry date is not too close. The DNS configuration must then be prepared with the new provider, so that website and email keep working.

In Cantù we handle these steps for companies in Como, Brianza and Milan: we take care of the contacts with the outgoing supplier and of the final check, so you do not have to find your way through control panels and confirmation requests.

Checklist

What we check before the transfer

who the owner is and which address the confirmations are sent to;
whether the domain is locked against transfers;
which services depend on the domain: website, email, PEC, third-party tools;
where the DNS records are today and how to reproduce them.

For businesses based between Como and Ticino, the contact is always our in-house team.

The AuthInfo code is the authorisation string that the domain owner requests from the current supplier and that the new provider uses to accept the transfer. It should be treated like a password: we help you handle it carefully, from Cantù, for companies in Como, Milan and Lugano.

With a well-prepared move, the website stays online during the domain transfer, because the new environment is copied and tested before the destination is switched. Absolutely no interruption cannot be guaranteed, but good planning reduces it: we handle it from Cantù for companies between Como and Milan.

Email during a provider change keeps working if the mail records are replicated before the domain is moved; if this step is forgotten, messages can be lost. For businesses in the province of Como, Brianza and Ticino, we prepare the email before the website.

The email migration to a new provider is done by activating the new system, copying the existing mailboxes and only at the end updating the domain's MX records. NewVisibility, in Cantù, coordinates every phase for companies in the province of Como, Brianza and Milan, without stopping work in the office.

DNS propagation is the time it takes for a change to the records to spread across the network, because many servers keep the old copy for a while. It depends on TTL and caching, so it needs planning: for companies between Como, Milan and Lugano we do it without downtime.
