How does a domain transfer work?
Start by placing an order for a domain transfer through our website. When we receive and process the order, the transfer will be initiated. You will receive an email from us at the administrative contact address as listed in the whois info for the domain. Please follow the instructions on this email. You will then receive an email from the losing registrar - again, follow the instructions. This process must be completed within 10 days or the order will be cancelled. If all emails are received and answered quickly the process usually takes about 3 days. Each registrar has their own policies concerning transfers away to another registrar. It is a good idea to contact your current registrar in order to make yourself familiar with their policies in order to avoid potential delays. Some registrars have a lock against transfers that must be removed before a request can be submitted and some may send a verification email to verify the transfer away. |
