How to Use the Domain Transfer Process in GHL Without Support Tickets

The new Domain Transfer-Out feature lets you move any domain you’ve purchased or transferred into GoHighLevel—right from your dashboard.

No support ticket. No waiting. No guesswork.

Here’s what’s now possible inside your GHL domain settings:

• You can transfer any eligible internal domain out to external registrars like GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare, or others.
• It’s all done from the Advanced Settings tab within the domain.
• You get the authorization (EPP) code with a click, sent securely to both the domain owner and the agency account owner.
• The process includes checks to ensure your domain is eligible—protecting against errors and accidental transfers.

This means you now have the same level of control over domain exit as you do for setup and routing—all without needing to leave the platform.

One note: for domains with .uk extensions or if you’re moving to Cloudflare as your new registrar, you’ll still need to go through GHL support for now. But everything else? It’s all yours to manage.

Before this update, transferring a domain out of GoHighLevel was a clunky, support-heavy process. You had to:

• Submit a ticket to the support team
• Wait for verification and eligibility checks
• Ask for the EPP (authorization) code
• Hope the timing worked out with your new registrar

It wasn’t fast. It wasn’t flexible. And for agencies managing multiple client domains, it definitely wasn’t scalable.

Now? That’s all gone.

With the new domain transfer process, everything happens directly inside the platform. You’re no longer waiting on a human. You’re not relying on a third party to unlock your property. You’re in control.

It’s as easy as:

1. Verifying transfer eligibility
2. Unlocking the domain (if needed)
3. Generating your EPP code
4. Initiating the transfer with your new registrar

The only exceptions are the .uk domain family and transfers to Cloudflare, which still require GHL support. But otherwise, you’ve got full self-serve capability.

And for agencies who white-label the GHL platform? This means a smoother, more professional experience for your clients too.

If you’re running an agency, you already know: domains are digital real estate. And control over that real estate matters.

This update isn’t just about convenience—it’s about ownership.

You no longer have to hand over control to a support team to access your own domain’s exit strategy. That means:

• Faster turnarounds when clients want to switch registrars
• Reduced dependency on support for time-sensitive actions
• Increased trust when managing domains under your white-label

It also signals a deeper shift in how GoHighLevel empowers agencies. By giving you tools to manage every step—from domain registration to DNS configuration and now transfer-out—GHL is becoming a more complete platform for digital operations.

Agencies don’t want to be held hostage by hidden settings or slow processes. Now you don’t have to be.

You’re in the driver’s seat.

Ready to transfer a domain out of HighLevel? Here’s exactly how to do it from inside your dashboard.

• Go to the left-hand sidebar, look all the way to the bottom.

1.1 Click on the gear icon ⚙️ labeled “Settings.”

• You’ll now be in the main Settings dashboard, where you can access:
  • Business Info
  • Billing
  • My Staff
  • and more.

• Inside Setting Section navigate to Domains and select the domain you want to move. It must be listed under Internal Domains.

2.1 Click Domain and URL Direct

2.2 Click Configuration

2.3 Transfer Domain Out

GHL will automatically run a status check to confirm whether your domain can be transferred.
Your domain cannot be transferred if:

• It was registered or transferred within the past 60 days
• It’s currently locked
• A transfer is already in progress
• The registry prohibits transfer (rare)

• From the dropdown, select the registrar you’re moving to (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare). This helps streamline backend compatibility.

• If your domain is locked (most are by default), click to unlock it. This makes it eligible for transfer.

Click to request your Auth/EPP code. This code:

• Will be sent to the domain owner (who originally registered it)
• Will also be sent to the agency account owner
• Can be re-requested every 5 minutes if needed

Log into your new registrar and initiate the domain transfer using the EPP code you received. Once submitted, the domain transfer will proceed under the new registrar’s timeline.

That’s it. No ticket. No hassle. Just complete control.

While the new domain transfer process in GHL is refreshingly simple, there are a few key things to keep in mind if you want it to go smoothly:

1. Don’t Transfer During a Major Launch
Transferring a domain can cause brief DNS disruptions. Avoid initiating transfers right before launching a campaign, website, or funnel.

2. Watch Out for .UK Domains
If your domain ends in .uk, .co.uk, .org.uk, or .me.uk, this transfer-out process won’t work through the dashboard. You’ll need to reach out to support to handle those manually.

3. Cloudflare Transfers Still Need Support
Cloudflare is a special case—even if the domain passes all other checks, you’ll still need support help to transfer it there. (Hopefully temporary!)

4. Keep Domain Contact Info Up to Date
The authorization code (EPP) goes to both the domain owner and agency owner. Make sure the associated email addresses are valid and monitored.

5. Only Unlock When Ready
Unlocking your domain makes it vulnerable to unauthorized transfers. Only unlock it when you’re actually ready to move, and lock it back down if needed.

6. Re-Request the Code if You Miss It
Didn’t get the EPP code? You can request it again after 5 minutes—no need to file a ticket.

Following these tips will help ensure your transfer goes off without a hitch—and keeps your domains safe and secure throughout the process.

This isn’t just a new button in the dashboard—it’s a signal.

GoHighLevel is evolving into a true all-in-one operations platform for agencies. By adding direct domain transfer control, they’re removing one more bottleneck that used to require manual support.

And that means:

• Agencies have more freedom and control over client infrastructure.
• White-labeled platforms can operate more independently and professionally.
• GHL becomes even more appealing for agencies tired of juggling tools and tech headaches.

This is part of a broader trend: HighLevel is shifting from “do it all for you” to “let you run it all yourself.”

The less time you spend waiting on support or jumping through hoops, the more time you can spend doing what actually matters—scaling your business.

Domain control is just one piece. But it’s a powerful one.

This update isn’t flashy—but it’s a serious win for any agency that cares about efficiency, professionalism, and control.

Here’s what you’ll notice once you start using the domain transfer process:

• No more delays: You don’t need to wait on support to move a domain. Do it when you’re ready.
• More professional handoffs: If a client wants to manage their own domain or switch registrars, you can make it happen instantly.
• Stronger white-label experience: Your clients don’t need to see the backend friction. You handle it all, fast and clean.
• Greater peace of mind: You know your domains are yours—and you can move them anytime without getting stuck.

This is the kind of “boring but powerful” feature that quietly makes your business run smoother.

It’s one more reason to rely on HighLevel for serious agency infrastructure.

The new domain transfer process in GoHighLevel is exactly the kind of update serious agencies love—quietly powerful, incredibly useful, and long overdue.

You no longer have to depend on support just to move a domain. You’ve got the tools inside your dashboard to:

• Check eligibility
• Unlock and manage domains
• Generate EPP codes
• Initiate transfers instantly

That means faster domain moves, smoother client experiences, and fewer things getting in the way of your growth.

If you manage even one domain inside GHL, it’s worth jumping into the dashboard and familiarizing yourself with this feature. Try transferring a test domain or reviewing your portfolio to see what you might want to move.

This is your digital real estate. Now you’ve got the keys.
