How to Transfer Your Domain Name

Domain Transfer is a process to transfer / change your domain registration from your existing Registrar to another new Registrar.

You may use the domain name transfer process to submit an automatic request for a domain name transfer from your existing registrar to a new registrar.

Transferring a domain name to a new registar means that you are choosing them as the registrar of record for that domain name.

If you want to transfer to another Registrar, you will have to contact the "new" Registrar to begin the transfer process.

If you do choose to switch to a new Registrar, please be aware that any existing services the domain is using such as URL Forwarding, Email Forwarding, and DNS-DIY service -- will be terminated and / or disrupted upon successful completion of the transfer..

Causes in delays of transfers:

• If the e-mail address of the current administrative contact for the domain is invalid, registrant won't receive the confirmation e-mail and won't be able to confirm the transfer.

The losing registrar can deny a transfer for several reasons:

• UDRP Action
• Count order by court of competent jurisdiction
• Reasonable dispute over the identity of the Registrant or Administrative Contact

• Express written objection to the transfer from the Transfer contact.
• A domain name was already in ??Lock?? status.
