How to Transfer a Domain from One Hostinger Account to Another?
Before we get started, there are a few things you should know about transferring your domain. The email address linked to the new Hostinger account must be active, as verification is required throughout the transfer procedure.
Let us lay down the actions you need to take to ensure a smooth transition.
Step 1: Prepare for the Transfer
To begin the transfer, you need to open both the old and new Hostinger accounts. This will allow you to manage and verify necessary details easily.
- First, log in to your old Hostinger account where the domain is currently registered.
- In the account, locate the section where your account information is displayed.
- Here, you will find the email address associated with your old account, which you will need for the transfer process.
Collecting the Email Address
Go to your account settings and copy the email address. This email will be crucial for updating the contact information in the domain settings. Once you have the email, you’ll need to navigate to the domain management section.
Step 2: Get Ready For Domain Transfer
To do this, Navigate to the Domains section, select the Transfers option on the left, and then click Move domain to another Hostinger account:

What to Do if You Don’t Receive the Email?
If you don’t see the verification email in your inbox, check your spam or junk folder. Sometimes, emails can end up there. If you still can’t find it, go back to your old Hostinger account and ensure that the email address was entered correctly. You may need to resend the verification email from your account settings.
Common Issues and Troubleshooting
While transferring a domain is generally straightforward, you might encounter some common issues. Here are a few troubleshooting tips:
# Verification Email Not Received
If you haven’t received the verification email, double-check the email address you provided. Make sure there are no typos and that you have access to the inbox. If necessary, resend the verification email.
# Domain Not Appearing in New Account
If the domain doesn’t appear in your new account, ensure that you have followed all steps correctly. You may need to contact support for assistance.
# Contact Information Not Updating
Sometimes, it may take a while for the changes to be reflected in the domain registry. If you’ve updated the contact information but it doesn’t seem to have taken effect, wait a few hours and check again.
Conclusion
Transferring a domain between Hostinger accounts doesn’t have to be complicated. By following these steps, you can ensure a smooth transition. Always remember to keep your email information up to date and verify changes promptly. If you encounter issues, don’t hesitate to reach out to Hostinger’s support team for help.
