How to Transfer a .QA Domain Name from Another Registrar/Provider

Transferring your .qa domain (the country code top-level domain for Qatar) is an important step if you’re looking for better service, enhanced features, or a more reliable registrar. If you currently own a .qa domain and want to move it to a new provider like QHost.qa, here’s a quick guide on how to do it.

1. Confirm Eligibility and Prepare Your Domain

Before initiating the transfer, ensure your .qa domain is eligible for transfer:

• Authorization Code (EPP Code): Obtain your EPP code (also called an authorization code or simply auth code) from your current registrar. This unique code is required to initiate the transfer. The code is usually available in the control panel of your provider such as Qatar Cloud (Ooredoo), Routedge, Unitech, Sadad,etc. 
• If you are not sure who your registrar is or if its not listed above, you can do a .qa domain whois lookup to find out the registrar’s name.
