Transferring a Domain Name from Godaddy to Porkbun

Saturday, June 15th, 2024

I’ve used GoDaddy for over 20 years but their price is simply no longer competitive.

The process is straight forward:

  • Log into your GoDaddy account
  • Click on the the domain name you want to transfer
  • Click on the LOCK link to start the unlocking process
  • You will be prompted with “UNLOCK DOMAINS” popup message. Click CONTINUE
  • You will be presented with a new screen (see pix below). Read the entire message as shown and follow the on-screen instructions.
  • Next, click on the button described (see picture) below to obtain the necessary information to transfer the domain away from GoDaddy to Porkbun.
  • Now, log into PORKBUN and click on the TRANSFER link located at the top of the screen
  • Enter the domain name and the TRANSF CODE and pay to start the transfer process.

GoDaddy is one of the slowest registrars when it comes to domain transfers. Expect to take about 5 business days to complete the process.
