If the request was registered successfully, you will receive a confirmation message on the next page.
8. Next steps
IMPORTANT: Make sure to respond to or confirm all emails relating to your domain transfer as quickly as possible to ensure the transfer runs smoothly.
You can track the transfer’s progress at any time by going to «Domain» → «Transfer domain» → «Ongoing transfers».
