  Hello,
  I would like to transfer my domain from a different provider. I already have the authorization code needed for the transfer. Could you please let me know what the next step should be. Also, once the domain transfer is complete, will my website content be automatically transferred or will I need to manually transfer it?
  Please advise asap as my subscription with the current provider is about to expire.

  TY

  Hi @baselika03 – In addition to following the instructions @therefoiam provides above, if your current site does not use the WordPress platform, or you aren’t sure, let us know and pass us the URL so we can try to help guide you from there. :)
