Transfer
Domain Names

In most cases, the domain transfer takes place after you fill out a request form with the new registrar you would like to transfer to. To get your web address ready, you need to first get your registry key or password. Your password is also called an EPP code, Auth code, UDAI code, EPP Authorisation code, or EPPT Authentication code. Your password ensures your protection in the transition of web address such as .com, .biz, .org, .info and .net. You can get all these prepared by your current registrar.

Second, be sure to unlock your domain because some registrars may lock it without the consent of the owner. This is possible in some instances, for example where the web name is involved with a dispute case, or if the registrant has breached policies.

Lastly, in order to immediately transfer domain ownership in a hassle-free manner, your web address must be set to public, and your email address must be valid.

Expiration date

Avoid cramming, and give yourself ample time to fully absorb what does domain transfer means. After carefully considering all the important factors such as price and features, be sure to continue the transition a week or two ahead of your web name’s expiry date. This will help you avoid unanticipated technical issues and other complexities that might interfere with the transition.

When you are ready to transition your web name, start by unlocking it and setting its status to public. In most cases, it is locked in order to prevent unauthorized web name services. Ensure that the process will proceed quickly, and make sure to go to your control panel and unlock it before beginning.

Familiarise yourself with your new registrar

Before you finally jump into the domain name transferral process, first make sure that you know your new registrar’s different services. There are many different services that you can take advantage of, such as web name parking, web forwarding, management, email hosting, and more. Ensure that the services you need most will be catered for. Although there might be irreconcilable issues with your previous registrar, make certain that your decision to change to a new registrar will help you eliminate these previous issues and restart with better, more relevant services.

Active web address

If you are planning to transfer a domain from one registrar to another, make sure that your web address is active. A web address that’s inactive, expired or in a redemption period cannot be transferred. Registrars cannot transfer these type of web address and any attempt to do so will immediately fail.

Backup your files

We guarantee that you will not encounter any major interruptions to services linked to your web address such as email and website, during the transfer process. However, any type of transition using online services can be risky, so be sure to backup all your files and secure multiple copies of them, just in case. Domain name transferral is a safe and quick transition, but you can't go wrong if you are well-prepared for unanticipated technical issues and downtime.

Outdated email details

Emails are the main generator of information exchanged between you and your registrars. Without a fully-functional email address, you will surely miss important notifications that will help you complete the transition. Be sure to check your emails and update contact details for complete assurance that you will receive all the information you’ll need to successfully complete the transfer domain name process.

Incorrect authorisation code

A domain name transferral requires an authorisation code - or the password of your web address. Your password is the key to completing any online transaction. Without it, everything will automatically fail. You can secure your auth code from your current registrar, but beware of possible inaccuracies that might hinder the development of transition.

In uncontrollable situations, such as a system glitch, you could potentially encounter errors like mismatched codes with the backend system. In order to fix the whole nine yards of a technical problem like this, it is much better to contact technical support or customer care for assistance.

Failure to complete initial process

Before moving on to transferring your domain name, be sure to complete the initial request form; you cannot proceed to the main transition procedure without this. Be sure to follow the specific instructions, then wait for a confirmation email before proceeding.

Before moving your web address, ask your potential registrar a few fundamental questions such as “How much does it cost to transfer a domain name?", "Can I move my domain name to another provider?" and "How long does it take to transfer a domain name?”

It is important that your new registrar provides you direct and honest answers to these queries, so you can weigh up your choices and make sure you will be provided with the services that you need most, for the best price. Here at Crazy Domains, our transfer service is not just cheap… it’s FREE!
