Domain Transfer Instructions
In order to transfer you domain name to us you have to:
1. Make sure that you have access to the email address listed as the admin contact for the domain.
Our transfer process is email verification based, so if your email address listed for the administrative contact of the domain is not current, the transfer will fail.
2. Make sure your domain name is not expired.
It is advisable to initiate your transfer at least 7 days prior to expire date, so there will be enough time to complete the process.
3. All .info, .us ,.biz and .org transfers require an authentication code when transferring domains to us.
You can obtain an authentication code from your current registrar (where the domain is currently registered).
4. We cannot transfer domains that are less than 60 days old.
If you registered your domain within the last 60 days, please wait until after 60 days before starting a transfer to us.
5. Make sure your domain name is not locked at the current registrar.
Please contact your current registrar to make sure there are no holds or locks when transferring your domain name.(many registrars will automatically place a lock on the domain for security)
6. Domain transfers add 1 year onto your expire date, so you don't lose any time you have paid for.
There is one exception to this rule: If the domain was recently reactivated from an expired state, you will not get a year added to the expire date |
