Domain Transfers

n order to transfer a .com domain name, you need to contact current domain registrar and request them for “EEP Code/AUTH Code”. While placing an order for .com domain name transfer, you will require “EEP Code/AUTH Code”.

You always initiate the transfer with the new company (takes 5 to 7 days). There are many obstacles that make a valid domain registration transfer fail.

* Domain name is in redemption. You must pay the current company before you may transfer.
* The time with your current registrar is less than 60 days, then you are not allowed to transfer yet. Note, if you just renewed your domain, you may still transfer because you were with the current registrar for more than a year.
* Your domain status is “locked”. This is for your protection against false requests; just ask your current registrar to unlock your domain.
* Your whois information is incorrect or private. You must have your valid email listed as the Admin Contact Email so you can receive a confirmation letter from the current registrar; you must follow the instructions provided in the subsequent letter.
* An invalid EPP code (“Auth key”) was provided. This is required for most domain names; you must get the EPP code from the current registrar and provide it to the new registrar.

Please initiate your domain registration transfers at least 1 month before the domain expires. This will give you a chance to fix any mistakes and re-initiate the transfer in time.
