Domain Transfer to HostGator
The transfer process from your current domain provider to HostGator can take anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days, but average wait times hover around the 1-2 day range. Keep in mind that HostGator does have a few domain transfer exclusions, so be sure to check the list before making the switch.
PRO TIP: If you are transferring a domain to HostGator, please be aware that it can take up to 72 hours for the transfer to complete. This is due to the fact that HostGator has to verify the transfer with the current registrar. Once the transfer is complete, you will be able to manage your domain and hosting account through the HostGator Control Panel.
Once the domain transfer is complete, you’ll be able to access your domain and all of its content just as if you’d transferred it directly to HostGator. However, since HostGator takes the hosting side of things, you’ll need to upgrade your hosting plan to take advantage of all the features and benefits the new provider has to offer.
Overall, the process is relatively straightforward and shouldn’t take more than a few hours to complete. If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out to HostGator’s support team.
