Before attempting to transfer a domain away from GoDaddy, you must complete the following steps.

1. Log into your GoDaddy account.
2. Under Domains, click Manage of the domain name you wish to transfer.
3. Navigate to Contact Information, and then click Edit.
4. Review and/or update the contact information for accuracy.
• If the contact details for the different account types are different, uncheck the Use for all contact types, and then review section type for any errors.
5. Click Save when your changes are complete.

Step 2: Remove Privacy Protection from the Domain

If privacy protection is enabled on the domain name when the transfer request is initiated, the domain transfer will automatically fail. All WHOIS information must be publicly visible in order for the transfer to go through successfully.

Privacy protection can be removed by clicking Remove privacy at the bottom of the Contact Information section, and then confirming that privacy should be removed from the domain.


Step 3: Unlock the Domain

If the domain name is locked, the transfer request will automatically fail as the domain must be unlocked prior to initiating the transfer. To unlock the domain:

1. Log into your GoDaddy account.
2. Under Domains, click Manage of the domain name you wish transfer.
3. Scroll down to Additional Settings, and then click Edit next to Domain lock.
4. Set the toggle to off. It will take a few moments for the update to show.

Step 4: Request EPP/Authorization Code

Most domain registrars require an EPP/authorization or Domain Secret code in order to transfer a domain name. This provides an extra layer of security and protects against unauthorized transfers. To request an EPP/authorization code:

1. Log into your GoDaddy account.
2. Under Domains, click Manage of the domain name you wish transfer.
3. Scroll down to Additional Settings, and then click Edit next to Domain lock.
4. Navigate to the bottom, then click on Get authorization code.
5. The authorization code will then be sent to the domain's Administrator email address on file.

Once all of the above steps have been completed, you should be ready to transfer your domain name to Bluechipspace.

1. Go to the Bluechipspace domain transfer form at manage.bluechipspace.com/cart.php?a=add&domain=transfer
2. Enter your domain name in the Domain Name field.
   
   

   Some domain name extension ends something other than .com, .net, .org, .info or .biz, you may not be able to use the transfer form to process your order. You will need to contact our Billing department via Pre-sales questions manage.bluechipspace.com/contact.php or Live Chat with your domain name and authorization code so we can arrange payment.
