How to Transfer Your Domain to PhotoBiz
If you want to manage your website and domain registration all in one place, you can transfer your existing domain from a third-party registrar to your PhotoBiz account.
We currently support these domain types:
.COM, .NET, .INFO, .BIZ, and .ORG
WHAT YOU’LL NEED BEFORE YOU START
To begin the transfer, you’ll need to complete a few steps with your current domain registrar:
-
Unlock Your Domain
Make sure your domain is unlocked at your current registrar. -
Turn Off Privacy Settings
Disable any domain privacy protections, including DNSSEC. -
Get Your Authorization Code (EPP Code)
This code is required to start the transfer.

COST TO TRANSFER
- One-time Transfer Fee: $25.00 and
- Domain Renewal: $3.50/month (billed monthly) or $42/year (billed annually)
IMPORTANT REMINDERS
- No Recent Changes: If you’ve updated the registrant name, company, or email—or recently transferred the domain from another registrar—you’ll need to wait 60 days before you can transfer again.
- DNSSEC Must Be Disabled: Check your domain settings to make sure DNSSEC is turned off.
- Timing Matters: Avoid transferring a domain that’s set to expire within the next 15 days.
- Don’t Change Settings During the Transfer: Any updates to your domain’s contact details or configuration after starting the transfer can delay or block the process.
