Pay easily via iDEAL, credit card, PayPal or bank transfer.
Done — you receive a confirmation and login details by email.
Many customers switch because their current provider is too expensive, unreachable or too slow. Here are the reasons we hear most.
Your current provider raised its prices and you want better value for money without giving up speed or service.

The transfer process is simple and fully automated. Just follow these six steps.
Do this first of all — before you request your EPP code or cancel your hosting. Once the hosting is cancelled, you often lose access to your current environment.
Ask your current provider for the transfer code — also known as the EPP code or authorisation code. This is a unique code you need to start the transfer. Don't forget to cancel your existing services with them too.
Go to the transfer form at Domein Direct, enter your domain name and fill in the transfer code in the "Authorization Code" field. That tells our system you are the rightful owner and the transfer may start.
Do you want to transfer the domain only, or also add a new hosting plan, email plan or forwarding option? Choose the plan that suits you. You can always combine.
Pay easily and securely via our payment provider Mollie. You choose how you check out.
You receive an email confirming your sign-up, your login details for the account and an update on the progress of the transfer. Once the domain has fully moved over, you receive the closing confirmation.
