Transferring a Domain Name from Another Registrar to In2HOSTING Print

  • 0

There are several blocks in place to protect your domain name ownership that can cause difficulty in transferring your domain to a new registrar. Before you transfer your domain to IN2HOSTING, it is essential that you ensure that the domain is ready to be transferred.

1. Update Your Nameservers: Changing your nameservers while your domain is being transferred may cause the transfer to fail. Be sure that you update your nameservers before the transfer begins so that your domain will be working as soon as possible.

2. Disable WHOIS Privacy: If WHOIS privacy is enabled, it will prevent your verification information from being retrieved and will prevent your transfer from succeeding.

3. Update Your WHOIS Information: Your WHOIS information may be used to verify your ownership of a domain before the transfer completes. Updating your contact information to ensure that you can access the email addresses on your WHOIS will prevent transfer failure.

4. Confirm the Domain is 60 Days Old: ICANN does not allow a domain to be transferred within its first 60 days.

5. Unlock Your Domain: Domain locks prevent unauthorized domain transfers. Be sure to unlock your domain just before transferring it so that it can be transferred successfully. The lock status of your domain can be viewed in your WHOIS information.

6. Check Your Domain's Expiration Date: It can take up to 7 days to transfer a domain. If your domain expires during transfer it may become locked again, causing the transfer to fail.

7. Check that the Domain is not in Redemption: If you are transferring an expired domain, be sure that it is within 30 days of expiration. If it has been expired for longer than that your domain may not be transferred without renewal.

8. Get Your EPP Code: You will need to get your EPP authorization code from your current registrar in order to transfer your domain. EPP Authorization codes expire, so you should ensure that you get it shortly before transferring your domain.

Once you have the necessary information, please do the following to submit the incoming transfer request in our system:

+ Log into the Client Area.
+ Click Transfer Domain.
+ Enter the domain name(s) in the appropriate format, which is demonstrated in the examples on the page.
+ Provide the authorization (EPP) code.
+ Submit your order and pay the transfer/renewal fee

Once the mail has been approved by the Administrative Contact and the Domain (Transfer) Secret Key/EPP Code/Authorization Code submitted, the Current Registrar will be notified regarding the transfer.

The Current Registrar will send an e-mail to the Registrant and/or the Administrative Contact of the concerned domain name to confirm that they wish to Transfer their domain name.

If the Transfer is not denied by either the Registrant or the Administrative Contact or the Current Registrar, the domain name will be Transferred to you in the next 5 days.
