As an administrator, you can transfer the domains that are owned outside your project. You can transfer such domains to your projects.
To transfer a domain, follow these steps:
Click + Add Domain.
Enter the domain name that you want to transfer to your project, and click Check Availability.
Once done, it will show that the domain has been taken. Select Yes; transfer Domain to proceed.
On the Next page, you will be asked if you want to delegate the DNS to the Linux Foundation or keep it at source.
You can import the DNS Zone file or skip it if you do not have it. Click Save and Continue.
The Domain will be listed in your project with the status Transfer Code Needed.
If after 48 hours the domain is still not delegated, visit , enter the domain name, and check the Name Servers section:
If the correct NS records are showing, contact for assistance.
If DNSSEC is enabled on the domain, or if both you and the current owner use DNSimple, contact for further assistance.
The current domain owner can verify if DNSSEC is enabled. If DNSSEC is active, contact for assistance.
If the current domain owner is also using DNSimple (the Linux Foundation's registrar), reach out to for further guidance.
Provide the transfer code to complete the domain transfer. To provide the transfer code, click icon, select Continue Transfer and enter the transfer code that you will receive from the registrar of your domain. Select My Domain is unlocked and My DNS Service is not hosted and click Begin Transfer.
