Authorise the transfer

All you need to do is follow the easy domain transfer instructions in the email to complete the move to Fasthosts.
The transfer must be authorised within five days of OpenSRS sending you the email. It may then take a few more days to complete the transfer – but it’s worth it for the superb service and excellent value you’ll get once your domain name is with us here at Fasthosts.
