How to Transfer a Domain Safely
Purchasing a premium domain is straightforward with standard best practices. Step 1: agree on price and terms in writing. Step 2: use a reputable escrow service to protect both parties; funds are released once the transfer completes. Step 3: confirm registrar details and remove any transfer locks. Step 4: exchange the authorization (EPP) code securely and start the transfer at your chosen registrar.

Most transfers complete within 1–7 days depending on the registrars. Afterward, enable strong account security, update WHOIS privacy, and configure DNS for your hosting and email. If you prefer, we can recommend trusted providers and walk you through each step for Skewbald.com.
