EPP Migration Guide

Step-by-step EPP transfer guide

Follow this technical checklist to migrate your domain to Truehost with no service interruptions.

1

Request EPP / Auth Code

Log in to your current domain registrar’s admin portal. Unlock your domain name and request the Authorization Code (also called EPP Code or transfer key).

Tip: The EPP key acts as a passcode. Copy it exactly as displayed.
2

Order Hosting Plan

Choose any Truehost hosting plan (Starter, Pro, or Unlimited) for 1 year or longer. The system automatically tags your domain transfer as eligible for the free promotion.

Tip: Billing terms of 1, 2, or 3 years qualify. Monthly plans are excluded from this promotion.
3

Submit Code at Checkout

During the hosting checkout process, select the option “Transfer domain from another registrar”, enter your domain name, and paste the EPP key when prompted.

Note: Academic domains (.ac.ke, .sc.ke) require official institutional authorization sent to KeNIC.
FAQ

Things people ask us before switching

Will my site go down during the transfer?

No. The domain registration transfer handles licensing record changes, not server access. Your website files, database, and DNS settings stay completely active at your current hosting provider throughout the transfer window.

Once the transfer completes at the registry, you can update your nameservers to point to your new Truehost environment at your convenience. DNS propagation typically takes 2–4 hours.

What happens to my email records during the transfer?

Your MX and routing records transfer with your DNS zone file. If your email runs on Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Zoho, or similar external providers, delivery continues without interruption. If your mail is on a cPanel server at your old provider, we back up and restore your mailboxes to prevent data loss.

Do I need institutional authorization documents for .ac.ke or .sc.ke?

Yes. Per KeNIC registry regulations, educational institutions using .ac.ke or .sc.ke extensions must submit a written authorization letter from their head of institution or registrar to verify authority. We provide a pre-filled authorization letter template on request to simplify this process.

What if my domain just renewed at my old registrar?

The 12-month renewal extension included in your domain transfer stacks directly onto your current expiry date. You do not lose the time you have already paid for. If your domain is set to expire in December 2026, it will extend to December 2027 upon transfer completion.

My domain is locked. How do I initiate a transfer?

Log in to your current registrar’s admin portal, navigate to domain management, and toggle off the Transfer Lock or Registrar Lock. Once unlocked, click “Request Authorization Code” or “EPP Code” to retrieve the security passcode required for transfer checkout.

How long does a domain transfer take to complete?

Registry validation cycles vary by extension:

  • .co.ke, .ac.ke, .sc.ke (ccTLDs) — Typically completes in 2–5 business days once EPP validation is verified.
  • .com, .org (gTLDs) — Takes 5–7 calendar days due to mandatory ICANN registry waiting periods.
