How to transfer your domain from Google Domains to SIRSTEVEHQ

Here’s how to transfer your domain name to us and start saving on renewal prices.

Domains that are newer than 60 days, or have been transferred within the last 60 days can't be transferred out of Google Domains. This is due to ICANN rules to prevent fraud. If it’s after 60 days, follow this process:
