- Complete Purchase
To make the transfer to WSK, complete the purchase by getting a one-year extension on WSK. Once paid, the domain transfer process is halfway done.
Completion:
- Wait for Transfer completion
Namecheap doesn’t prefer to display the status of outgoing domain transfers. So the status of the transfer will not be visible in the Namecheap account. But they will notify you on whether the domain transfer is approved or not.
Once you are notified about the transfer approval, all you need to do is wait for the official Transfer Completion Email from WSK, which may take up to a couple of business days.
