You should unlock your domain name before you initiate a transfer. You can do this on your current registrar&#8217;s domain control panel.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t have domain privacy (WHOIS protection) enabled. Make sure to DISABLE WHOIS protection on your domain name before initiating a transfer. You can do this on your current registrar&#8217;s domain control panel, or by asking your current registrar\/host to do it for you.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure the domain&#8217;s Administrative Contact Details or WHOIS Information (email, address, phone, etc.) MATCHES your own personal info with your new registrar\/host because you would be sent a message for confirmation. You can change this from your current registrar&#8217;s domain control panel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Simple Steps:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Firstly, SIGNUP to CloudHost by visiting: <a
