The transfer code
- Log in to Mijn Account and go to Mijn producten.
- Click the arrow next to your domain name and choose Beheren.
- Click the arrow next to Verhuiscode aanvragen, choose Ga verder (Continue) and then Verhuizen (Transfer). Choose a reason and click Verstuur verhuiscode (Send transfer code).
- The code is sent to the email address you use to log in to Mijn Account. You request a code for each domain separately.
You can't switch off a transfer lock yourself at Mijndomein: you ask Mijndomein to do it. According to Mijndomein, .nl, .be, .de, .eu and .nu never have a lock. You request a .be code from DNS Belgium, see .nl, .be and .de: what to look out for.
Please note: according to Mijndomein, a transfer ends the registration and your domain and package are cancelled automatically. Your website, databases, email addresses and mailboxes are not transferred. So move your website first and copy your mail to WebOké before you start the domain transfer.
Backing up your website and database
- Open Plesk and go to Beveiliging › Acronis Backup. Choose a date.
- Bestanden: open Bestanden, select everything and click Downloaden (Download). Wait for Geslaagd (Successful) and click Downloaden again to get the zip file.
- Databases: go back to the overview, open Databases, select your database and download it.
Do you have a package with Mijndomein's Websitemaker (Website builder)? According to Mijndomein, you can't take a site built with the Websitemaker to another provider. In that case you rebuild the site, see Migrating your website: backup, import and WordPress.
DNS and nameservers
You'll find the DNS in Mijn Account: click the arrow next to your domain name, choose Beheren and then DNS instellen. You also change the nameservers in your domain management in Mijn Account. Want to keep the domain at Mijndomein and only change the nameservers? See Only switching the nameservers or DNS.
Your email
In the email migration tool, under Other provider, enter the IMAP server mail.mijndomein.nl, port 993 with SSL. Your username is your full email address.
Cancelling
- According to Mijndomein, the notice period is 30 days before the renewal date. If you cancel too late, your contract is renewed for another period.
- If you transfer your domain, Mijndomein says the domain and package are cancelled automatically. Afterwards, check in Mijn Account that nothing is still running.
- Want to stop only the package and keep the domain at Mijndomein? Go to Mijn producten and use Pakket wijzigen (Change package) › Alleen domeinnaam behouden (Keep domain name only). This takes effect immediately: your website and mail at Mijndomein will go offline.
