Transfer your domain from your current registrar to Universe

Transferring a custom domain to Universe is slightly different than using an external domain. If you're interested in using an external domain instead, click here. When you transfer a domain into Universe, we'll connect it to your Universe Custom Domain subscription, and set it up with  your website!

Transferring a domain into Universe is a multi-step process, but this guide will ensure you have all of the required steps.

Reach out to Universe Support

Before you start the process, reach out to Universe support to set up a custom domain subscription.

Unlock the Domain

Before you're able to transfer a domain in, you first need to unlock it for transfer. This will be done in the admin panel with your current registrar. If you're unsure where to find this option, try searching their help center! Before generating the EPP code and unlocking the domain, you'll need to make sure your domain has DNSSEC disabled.

Generate the EPP Code

After the domain is unlocked, it is time to generate the transfer code (aka EPP code). Per ICANN regulations, a domain cannot be released from a registrar if it was registered less than 60 days ago. If you're unsure where to find the EPP code option, try searching their help center!

Reach out to Universe Support

After you've generated the EPP code, it is time to reach out to Universe support to connect the domain to your website. You'll need to make sure the site has a valid Universe Pro subscription for the domain to be connected. Please provide the Support Team with the site you wish to attach it to, the domain, and the EPP code. 

You can contact Universe Support directly in the app or at help@univer.se

🌟Google Domains Transfer Notice: To transfer your domain in from Google Domains, you'll need to disable DNSSEC before generating the transfer code. You can do this by following the guide here (under Deactivate DNSSEC for your domain).
