🔄 How to Transfer Your Domain to Laseroo

Thinking of switching to Laseroo? Whether you’re consolidating your services or looking for better support, transferring your domain name doesn’t have to be a headache — we’ll guide you every step of the way.

At Laseroo Web Solutions, we offer fast and seamless domain transfers so you can manage your website, hosting, and email all in one place.

✅ Why Transfer Your Domain?

Many clients transfer to us for the following reasons:

  • Better Service & Support – We’re faster and more responsive than big corporate hosts
  • Simplified Management – Manage domain, email, and hosting all in one place
  • Cost Efficiency – Competitive pricing starting from just R39/month

✅ Step 1: We Send the Transfer Ticket Request

For .co.za domains (most South African domains), the process is easy:

  • Once you provide us with your domain name and current provider ,we will send a domain transfer ticket request to the email address currently listed as the domain registrant.
  • EPP code for .com domains or domain transfer ticket is needed for .co.za domains.

📧 Important: Make sure you have access to the email address that’s registered to the domain. This is where the transfer confirmation will be sent.

✅ Step 2: Accept the Transfer Email Prompt

  • You (or your current host) will receive an automated email from ZACR (the official .co.za domain registry).
  • Simply click the approval link in that email to accept the transfer request.

Once approved, the domain will move to Laseroo within a few minutes to 24 hours or up to 5 days for .com domains.

✅ Step 3: We’ll Handle the Rest

After the domain is transferred:

  • We’ll confirm the transfer with you
  • You can now choose a hosting package or point your domain elsewhere
  • You can also create professional email addresses linked to your domain
