How to transfer a domain from HostGator to Hostinger, step by step
- Check the domain is eligible. Most domains can only be transferred 60 days after they were registered or last transferred.
- Unlock the domain at HostGator. In your HostGator customer portal, open the domain and turn off the transfer lock. Turn off privacy protection too if it hides the email address you need.
- Get the EPP (authorisation) code. Request it from the same domain settings. HostGator usually emails it to the domain owner.
- Start the transfer at Hostinger. In hPanel, go to Domains, choose Transfer, enter the domain name and the EPP code, and complete the payment. A transfer normally adds a year to the registration.
- Approve the transfer email. Confirm the transfer from the email sent to the domain’s admin contact. Doing this quickly can speed things up.
- Wait for completion. Transfers usually finish within 5 to 7 days. Your website keeps working during the transfer as long as the DNS stays the same.
- Move the website and update DNS. If you are moving hosting too, migrate the site first, then point the DNS to Hostinger once everything works.
Tips to avoid downtime
- Take a full backup of your website and emails before you start.
- Note your current DNS records, especially email (MX) records.
- Do not change nameservers in the middle of the transfer unless you have to.
