Offshore Domain Transfer — Migrate to a Private Registrar

If your domains are currently registered with a mainstream registrar based in the US, EU, or other data-sharing jurisdictions, your personal information may already be exposed in WHOIS databases, stored in compliance systems accessible to government agencies, and shared with data brokers through partner agreements buried in terms of service.

Transferring to AnubizHost moves your domain's registration authority to a privacy-respecting offshore jurisdiction. Your WHOIS records are immediately anonymized, your account data is protected by offshore privacy laws, and your domain management is conducted through infrastructure that does not comply with mass surveillance programs or blanket data-sharing agreements.

The transfer also protects you against your previous registrar's data retention practices. Even after transfer, some registrars retain your personal information for years. By moving to AnubizHost, you ensure that going forward, all registration data, renewal records, and management activity are governed by privacy-first policies in a jurisdiction that takes data protection seriously.

Transferring a domain to AnubizHost follows standard ICANN transfer procedures with added privacy steps. First, unlock your domain at your current registrar and obtain the authorization (EPP) code. Then initiate the transfer on our platform by entering your domain name and EPP code. We will process the transfer, which typically completes within 5 to 7 days depending on the TLD.

During the transfer, our system monitors the process in real time and notifies you of each stage — initiation, registry approval, and completion. Some registrars send confirmation emails that require you to approve the transfer; we provide clear instructions for each major registrar so you know exactly what to expect.

Once the transfer completes, your WHOIS information is immediately replaced with our privacy proxy details. Your existing DNS records are preserved automatically unless you request changes, ensuring zero downtime for your website and email during the migration. We also add a free year of registration on top of your remaining registration period.

Migrating domains can be confusing, especially if you are transferring from a registrar that makes the process deliberately difficult. AnubizHost provides free transfer assistance for every inbound domain. Our support team will walk you through unlocking your domain, obtaining EPP codes, approving transfer confirmations, and verifying completion.

For bulk transfers of 10 or more domains, we offer a managed migration service where our team handles the entire process on your behalf. You provide EPP codes and authorization, and we manage every step of the transfer, DNS migration, and WHOIS privacy activation. This service is ideal for businesses migrating entire domain portfolios to our privacy-first platform.

We also provide pre-transfer audits where we check your domain's current configuration, identify potential issues that could delay the transfer (such as domain locks, WHOIS accuracy requirements, or recent registration that falls within the 60-day transfer lock), and provide a customized migration plan with estimated timelines for each domain.

After transferring to AnubizHost, you gain access to our full suite of privacy-focused domain management tools. This includes our zero-log DNS hosting with global anycast distribution, anonymous email forwarding, domain monitoring alerts, and cryptocurrency renewal payments — all managed through a single dashboard.

Transferred domains receive the same free lifetime WHOIS privacy protection as newly registered domains. There is no waiting period, no additional verification, and no extra cost. Your domain is fully protected from the moment the transfer completes, and that protection remains active for the entire duration of your registration.

You also benefit from our offshore jurisdiction protections, including resistance to informal takedown requests, requirement for proper legal process before any data disclosure, and transparent handling of government inquiries. Combined with our technical privacy measures, this ensures your transferred domains receive a level of protection they simply cannot get from mainstream registrars.
