Logging into GoDaddy’s Dashboard

Log in to your GoDaddy’s dashboard & select the domain you wish to transfer.

For Old Dashboard:

• Click on Manage DNS. You will be directed to a new page with domain information.

Unlocking the Domain Name

Look for the option Lock. Click on Manage. Set it to Off & click on Save. If the domain isn’t unlocked you won’t be able to initiate the domain transfer.

For New Dashboard:

• Scroll down below to Additional Settings. Click on the Domain lock option to turn it Off. It will take a few seconds to turn off.
