Please note that a domain name registration must be at least six months old before you can transfer it from one provider to another.
If you have already registered your domain name elsewhere and would like to transfer the registration to our registrar, then please unlock and authorize the transfer. Keep in mind that whether you choose to transfer the registration or retain it at its current registrar, you must use our nameservers in order to use our e-mail, DNS and web site services.
Before you can transfer a domain, you will need to unlock the domain name, and get theauthorization code. Both of these tasks require logging in to the account where the domain is originally registered.
If you do not know your registrar name, you can go to http://www.uwhois.com/cgi/multiask.cgi to search your domain name in the Whois records. The Whois record may also display the e-mail address that was originally used when registering the domain name.
