To transfer domains from Godaddy to Cloudflare because its much cheaper and better service, follow these steps:

NOTE: Godaddy always keeps changing their interface, so things might be not updated, but the idea is the same for domains: unlock, transfer, get code and authorize code.

Goaddy ~

  1. Login to you Goaddy Account
  2. Go to manage domains:
    https://dcc.godaddy.com/domains
    or
    https://dcc.godaddy.com/control/portfolio
  3. Click to select on the domain you want to transfer
  4. Unock Domain: Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page where it says :Domain lock: set it to: Off
  5. Consent to "Locking prevents unauthorized changes, including transfer to another registrar."
  6. GET AUTHORIZATION CODE - Again, scroll all the way to the bottom of the Domain Settings page and look for a link that says:
    Transfer domain away from GoDaddy
    UPDATE: AS OF 12.31.2022, Godaddy changed this step, instead to OBTAIN AUTHORIZATION CODE, go to this LINK:

  7. Click on the button that says "Continue with Transfer
  8. Your domain is unlocked and ready to transfer. Click on the button that says: Click here to see authorization code
