Domain transfer to Simply.com

Order the domain via the search box on simply.com, get the AUTH ID from your old provider and enter it – the domain then transfers automatically to Simply.com.

To transfer a domain to us, you simply need to enter it in the search field at the top of our website.

When the domain appears as "taken" in the search result, you select "Order now". You then choose the product you want for the domain with us.

If you have already chosen a product, you will be presented with the option to transfer the domain when you proceed with the order.

Once the order has been completed, you will receive an email from us with instructions on how to start the transfer of the domain from your previous provider to us. It is important that you follow these instructions carefully.

For the vast majority of domains, you will need an AUTH ID (also called an EPP code), which you must obtain from your previous provider. Once you have your AUTH ID, you can enter it via https://www.simply.com/authid/ to proceed with the transfer.
You will also receive information about this in the email from us, which you will receive after ordering.

Once the AUTH ID has been entered, the transfer is completed automatically. Many domains, e.g. .dk and .se, are transferred immediately, while other domains, e.g. .com and .net, take between 5-7 days to transfer.

Do you want to change nameservers at the same time as the transfer?

It is possible to transfer the domain without changing the existing nameservers (this is the default).
This way, you can transfer the domain from your previous provider and wait to change the nameservers until you are ready.

The procedure here will be:

  1. Order with Simply.com, select "do not change nameservers".
  2. Develop the website at Simply.com using the associated temporary URL and approve the domain transfer.
  3. Change nameservers to Simply.com through our DNS Administration when you are ready.
  4. Cancel products with your previous provider.

Waiting to approve the transfer

If you order a web hosting plan with a simultaneous domain transfer, you can simply wait to approve the domain transfer request until you are ready.
This means that it is not a requirement that you transfer the domain immediately.

Each web hosting plan includes a temporary URL.

In other words, the procedure can be

  1. Order with Simply.com.
  2. Develop the website at Simply.com using the associated temporary URL.
  3. Approve the domain transfer from your previous provider by entering the Auth ID.
  4. Cancel products with your previous provider.
