Transfer a domain from EuroDNS to Infomaniak
This guide explains how to transfer to Infomaniak a domain name currently registered with EuroDNS.
Preamble
If you are migrating your data from another provider to Infomaniak, make sure you have recreated your services and when everything is ready, transfer the domain name by choosing the Infomaniak configuration at the end of the transfer (point b.7.a below). Within a few hours (maximum), Infomaniak services will take precedence over those of the old provider. And to be sure everything is set up correctly:
- run a DNS diagnostic to check the Domain <-> Infomaniak Services link
- run a Mail diagnostic (SPF, DKIM...) to avoid any sending or receiving issues
Simplify your life! If needed, local partners recommended by Infomaniak can handle these procedures. Launch a free call for tenders. They take care of everything, freeing you from technical details.
Transfer the domain name to Infomaniak
a. Obtain the authorization code
A domain name can be transferred from one company to another using an authorization code that you need to obtain from the current provider:
- follow this guide provided by EuroDNS — the transfer can be requested via your domain management page
The terms EPP code, authcode, transfer code, and authorization code all refer to alphanumeric sequences specific to the domain whose main purpose is to verify the owner's authorization before a transfer between registrars.
b. Transfer the domain name to Infomaniak
Once you have obtained the authorization code:
- order the existing domain name from this direct link
- enter your domain name (without www) and click on the magnifying glass to search for it (the system will detect that it already exists)
- create a user account or select the organization in which to place the domain
- click on the Transfer button on the page indicating that the domain name is already reserved
- continue the ordering wizard without taking any additional services
- enter the contact details of the domain owner
- activate the At the end of the transfer, use Infomaniak DNS servers toggle button
- set it to ON if you already have the corresponding services for the domain with Infomaniak or if you are transferring them at the same time (or within a few hours max.)
- set it to OFF to manually specify the DNS your domain should have (current DNS, for example)
- ADD TO POINT B "if you wish to direct to another provider like swisscom"
- enter the authorization code (obtained at point a.7 above)
- click on the Validate button
- check the data and confirm the order
