Transferring Domains From RegisterFly.comThis registrar can accept transfer from any registrar. With out Rapid Transfer System domain transfers can often be completed in as little as five days or less. Note that some transfers may take up seven days to complete. To transfer a domain from RegisterFly to this regisrar, you will need the following information: - Domain status: Locked or Active If you do not have the above information on hand, you can obtain it from RegisterFly. Note that the domain transfer cannot succeed unless the domain name is unlocked, the administrative e-mail address is valid, and the correct authorization code is provided (for .com, .net, .org, .biz, .us., .name, and .info domains). See below for a description of the specific elements and issues involved in transferring a domain from RegisterFly to this registrar. Unlocking DomainBy default, most domains registered with RegisterFly are placed under "Domain Lock" protection. Domain locking serves to prevent unauthorized transfers of your domain. Before a domain transfer is requested, the lock must be removed and the registry status verified as "Active." To unlock domain and enable domain transfer:
1. Log in to your RegisterFly account. Note that it may take 24 hours before our system recognizes the status change. * If you do not have a direct RegisterFly account, please contact your reseller to obtain this information. If you do not know the name of your reseller, go to RegisterFly's Help page and enter your domain name in the Reseller Information Retrieval Tool:http://www.registerfly.com/help/ The Importance of the Administrative Domain Contact The administrative contact is one of the four contacts listed in the Whois database for a registered domain. The contact information is defined by the registrant. As part of the domain transfer process, we will send a transfer-approval e-mail message to the domain's administrative contact listed in the Whois database. The e-mail message contains the Transaction ID and Security Code that enable the administrative contact to approve the transfer. If you have just removed the lock from a domain registered with RegisterFly (the "unlock" procedure is described above), 24 hours should elapse before the administrative contact responds to the transfer approval e-mail message, as it can take up to 24 hours before our system recognizes changes to the domain's Whois information. Any attempt to respond to the transfer approval message before the status change has been completed will result in transfer failure. You will receive an instant e-mail notification of the failed transfer. Changing Administrative Contact InformationIf you need to alter the contact information for your domain's administrative contact, please proceed thus: 1. Log in to your RegisterFly account.* Note: While the updates will be reflected in the RegisterFly Whois data within minutes, it may take up to 24 hours before our system recognizes the changes. * If you do not have a direct RegisterFly account, please contact your reseller to obtain this information. If you do not know the name of your reseller, go to RegisterFly's Help page and enter your domain name in the Reseller Information Retrieval Tool: http://www.registerfly.com/help/ Authorization CodeIn order to transfer a .com, .net, .biz, .info, .name, . org, or .us domain name you will need an authorization code. An authorization code is a unique code assigned by registrars to .com, .net, .biz, .us, .info, .name, and .org domain names at the time of registration. To find the authorization code for your domain: 1. Log in to your RegisterFly account. Transferring DomainAssuming that the above issues are in order, the domain transfer process proceeds thus: To transfer a domain to this registrar: 1. Advise the domain's administrative contact that the domain name is being transferred.
