Transferring a .es domain to OzSpeed involves a straightforward process regulated by Red.es, the official registry for .es domains. Here’s a step-by-step guide to complete the transfer successfully.
Steps to Transfer a .es Domain to OzSpeed #
Step 1: Check Eligibility for Transfer #

- No Authorization Code Needed:
- Unlike other domain extensions, .es domains do not require an EPP code for transfers.
Step 2: Disable Registrar Lock (If Applicable) #

- Disable the lock if an option is available.
Step 3: Initiate the Transfer at OzSpeed #
- Log in to your OzSpeed hPanel: OzSpeed hPanel.

- Follow the instructions in the email to approve the transfer.
- Note: Approval must be completed within the specified timeframe, usually 5 days.
- Monitor Transfer Progress:
