How to Transfer Your Domain from Gandi

Preparing Your Domain for Transfer

To prepare a domain for transfer, the registrant will need to unlock the domain and then request the EPP key. Transfers take between five to seven days to complete from the date you initiate the transfer with your new provider.

All actions require log in access to https://www.gandi.net/admin

Unlock your domain

From "Domains" select the domain to unlock.
Under "Domain Names" scroll to "Transfer Lock" and select "Modify."
On the pop-up, select "Deactivate transfer protection."

In the top right-hand corner, select "My Account"
On the next page, click "Account Management."
Click "Update account information."
Scroll down to "Anti-spam system" and select "no."
At the bottom right-hand side of the page, click the blue "Submit" button.

Verify administrator contact information

From "Domains" select the domain to unlock.
Scroll down to "Contacts" and check the email under "Administrative."
If you do not have access to this email, you can change it by selecting "Modify."

Obtain your EPP Authorization Code

From "Domains" select the domain to unlock.
Under "General Information" select "Authorization Key."

Purchase a Domain Name Transfer

Visit the domain name transfer page to purchase a transfer.
After purchasing the transfer, you can choose to either keep the existing nameservers, or park the nameservers.

If you're not changing the hosting for your domain, you may want to select "keep existing nameservers" to be certain your site does not go down during the transfer. If your website is not hosted, you can select "park nameservers" and 101domain will create a temporary page that users will see when they visit your site, until you have set up your site's hosting.
