Domain Transfer Validation
Any time a transfer is initiated to HostGator, the respective registrar will send a Transfer Authorization email to the owner of the domain name. If the instructions in the email are not completed, the domain will not be transferred. Here is a complete guide on how to transfer a domain from a third-party registrar to HostGator.
Please note that a 60-day transfer lock or Change of Registrar (COR) lock, enforced by ICANN, will be applied to your domain if the email address, name, or organization name is changed. This will prevent the domain from being hijacked and other potential hazards, such as being transferred away to another registrar. HostGator can't bypass or expedite this lock, nor can it be disabled in the Customer Portal. For more information, please visit the The Different Types of Domain Locks Explained article.
