Transfer Your Domain to SiteBoma: Every Step Explained

Reasons People Move Their Domain to SiteBoma

Perhaps your registrar has grown expensive, answers support tickets slowly or will not take M-Pesa. Whatever the trigger, a domain transfer to SiteBoma is simple, and your website keeps running the whole time.

Have These Ready First

  • The EPP / Auth Code for your domain, which your current registrar provides
  • Access to the admin email address listed on the domain
  • The domain lock switched off at your current provider
  • At least 7 days left before the domain expires

The Transfer, One Step at a Time

  1. Switch off the lock at your present registrar; the setting is usually called "Domain Lock"
  2. Request the EPP/Auth Code, normally shown in the domain settings or sent by their support team when you ask
  3. Open the SiteBoma transfer page
  4. Type in your domain and click Transfer
  5. Paste in the EPP/Auth Code when asked for it
  6. Pay the transfer fee by M-Pesa or card
  7. Approve the confirmation email that lands in the domain's admin inbox
  8. Wait for the move to finish: 5 to 7 days for a .com, less for a .co.ke

Does the Website Go Offline While It Moves?

It does not. Your DNS settings stay exactly as they were during the transfer, so the website, email and everything else carry on as normal.
