Anshuman Bhardwaj (@anshumanb) · 2026-03-03 Hi @leon6077-8258, welcome to the Vercel Community! To transfer a Domain to Vercel, you need to follow the https://vercel.com/kb/guide/how-do-i-transfer-my-domain-to-vercel guide:  leon6077-8258 (@leon6077-8258) · 2026-03-03 Well i would love todo that, but i just dont have the option for a transfre in .. Also i wanna use the domain “standalone” without any project on vercel due to im hosting everying on my dedi-server. i just wanna change my domain provider ^^  Anshuman Bhardwaj (@anshumanb) · 2026-03-03 Okay. This is quite misleading. I'm sorry about it. Can you try the **Add Existing Domain** button and add the domain using that, you can add random configurations for now. It's just to get over this screen so you can see the **Transfer In** button leon6077-8258 (@leon6077-8258) · 2026-03-03 · ♥ 1 yea that would work. i found another “workaround” if i hard reload the page via F5 im able to see the transfer button for a second, then i can click him … Anshuman Bhardwaj (@anshumanb) · 2026-03-03 Okay. Did that work? I'm greatly sorry because this is not the experience Vercel aims to ship. I've forwarded the feedback to our team. leon6077-8258 (@leon6077-8258) · 2026-03-03 · ♥ 1 i did not do it yet. im waiting for the auth code from namecheap .. Anshuman Bhardwaj (@anshumanb) · 2026-03-03 Okay. Just a tip: you can reduce the browser network speed to have the Transfer In button show up for longer. To do this, anywhere on the Vercel dashboard do a **Right click** > **Inspect > Network** > **Throttle** and choose the slow 4G or slower to really slow it down  Anshuman Bhardwaj (@anshumanb) · 2026-03-03 · ♥ 1 Hi @leon6077-8258, our team merged a fix for this. You won't have to do any hacks now. Just use the **Transfer In** button that comes on the Domains page.
