Transfer
Transferring a .com
- You start the transfer at the new registrar using your domain name's transfer code. The registry then automatically notifies the current registrar.
- The current registrar sends an email about the transfer to the registrant and sometimes also to the administrative contact. This email often lets you approve or reject the transfer.
- If you neither approve nor reject the transfer, it's completed automatically after 5 days.
- Check the WHOIS beforehand to make sure there's no transfer lock on the domain name. If the current registrar has set one, you can ask them, as the registrant, to remove it.
- If you've only just registered a domain name, you can't transfer it until 60 days have passed.
The transfer code
- You always need a transfer code to transfer a domain. As the registrant or administrative contact, you can request it from your current registrar.
- The code is 8 to 32 characters long and contains at least one letter, one number and one special character, such as ! $ % ? & @ or *.
