Requirements
Who can register a .it.com?
Good to know when registering
- After a successful registration, there's a 60-day period during which you can't transfer the domain name to another registrar.
Transfer
Transferring a .it.com
- The new registrar submits the transfer to the registry, which automatically notifies the current registrar.
- The current registrar sends the registrant, and sometimes the administrative contact as well, an email about the transfer. In it, you may be able to approve or reject the transfer.
- If you don't explicitly approve or reject the transfer, it's completed automatically after 5 days.
- Make sure there's no transfer lock on the domain name. You can check in the WHOIS whether there's a lock.
- If the current registrar has set a transfer lock, you can ask for it to be removed as the registrant.
- You can't transfer a domain name yet if it was registered less than 60 days ago.
The transfer code
- You need a transfer code to transfer a domain.
- You get the transfer code from the current registrar. You request it as the registrant or as the administrative contact for the domain name.
