How To Transfer a Domain From GoDaddy

To transfer a domain name from GoDaddy to Safe Cloud Servers you must first make sure the domain is unlocked, then initiate the transfer. We will show you a few different ways you can accomplish that. We will try to include screen shots from multiple GoDaddy interfaces. During the transfer process you will receive an e-mail containing a link that you must click in order to authorize the transfer. If you do not click this link, the domain will not transfer. Also, if you registered the domain with Private Registration (or Domains By Proxy), you must disable this service for the domain prior to transferring at Domains By Proxy's website.

Login to your GoDaddy account then click on "Manage" next to "Domains".
