Transferring an existing domain to Hostking.co.za is possible. The process typically involves a few key steps: confirming contact information is accurate, unlocking the domain name at the current registrar, initiating the transfer at the new host, and authorizing the transfer. It's important to ensure that the domain is not in Pending Delete or Redemption status and that it has been more than 60 days since the last registration or transfer. Access to the domain’s EPP code is also necessary, and any Whois privacy protection should be disabled before starting the transfer process. Once initiated, a transfer request will be sent to the registrant's email address, and the transfer will complete immediately upon acceptance.
