STEP 6: Click on an action link to “Send EPP Key to Registrant Email”  to obtain your Authorization Code and click on any “Save” buttons.

STEP 7: Check your inbox for an email from your 3rd party Domain Name registrar as it will contain the required Code to initiate a transfer.
Check email inbox or spam folder


Note: Check your SPAM folder if you don't see your registrar's email in the Inbox folder.



STEP 8: Contact your new registrar with your provided code.

 
 
IMPORTANT: In order for your website to be visible to internet users, your Domain Name (i.e. “johnsmithlaw.com”) registrar must point your DNS Records to ESQSites' webserver: This is what is referred to as setting up the "Point-To". If your Domain Name is registered through a 3rd party (i.e. GoDaddy to NetworkSolutions, etc.) outside of ESQSites, you MUST see ESQSites' DNS "A" Record Instructional.
