How does one get a domain name unlocked to make a transfer to another host?

First, call Customer Service at your current Registrar and ask them to unlock your domain name. For self-service: Login to your account, find the lock feature, and unlock the domain.

You must then request a domain transfer from the target host. The target host will email the domain%26#039;s current Administrative Contact. The Administrative Contact must click on the link in that email, authorizing the transfer to the new host.
