Get authorization code
To complete the domain transfer, you’ll need an authorization code from your existing registrar.
Before you click “Get authorization code”, make sure you have the correct email address updated with GoDaddy.
If the email is going to abuse@godaddy.com, then it means your email is not configured correctly in Godaddy to receive authorization code. So, better contact Godaddy and get it fixed.
Click on “Get authorization code” to have GoDaddy mail you the authorization code and domain information.
Login to BlueHost and enter your authorization code.
The domains option is found under cPanel settings. Click on Transfer domain.
Next, enter the authorization code you received via email.
You’ll now receive another email containing a second verification code. Enter the second verification code.

Choose the option to update the name servers to BlueHost.
The name servers for BlueHost are ns1.blueHost.com and ns2.blueHost.com.
Additionally, choose a renewal option, update your contact information and agree to the Terms of Service.
Finish the checkout process.
