How Do I Make a Domain Transfer?

Years ago, you started out with one or two domains. Now you have acquired several domain names and you realize that they are all over the place. Each domain is well kept. All of them are updated with the most recent and most relevant information. They are all aesthetically appealing. It seems as though everything is in order except for one thing. Each domain is registered under different registrars. The best and most efficient solution for this is to make a domain transfer.

The benefits of making a domain transfer of your domains to one account are quite clear. You will be able to control all of your domains under one user account. There will be a billing statement from only one registrar. Finally, you will save time because there will be no switching from one registrar to another when maintaining the domains.

The process of making a domain transfer is very simple. Purchase a domain transfer through the new registrar. If the domain to be transferred is anything other than .com or .net, you must get an authorization code from the current registrar. The new registrar can not receive the transfer without this code. Once you purchase the transfer, the new registrar will send you an email containing and identification number, key code, and a link to a transfer confirmation page. You must confirm the transfer by clicking the link. You will be prompted to enter the authorization code from the current registrar if the domain is not .com or .net. The new registrar notifies the old registrar and the domain is released to the new registrar. Lastly, the new registrar will send an email stating that the transfer is complete.

This process only takes a few minutes. Once everything is complete, you should print the identification number, key code, and confirmation for your records. After that, you are free to control your many domains under one account.
