No risk! You're not charged until domain transfer is successfully completed. If for any reason your domain name transfer fails, you will not receive a charge of any type. However, if you are truly serious about transferring your domain name's registrar sponsorship, review our domain transfer checklist before submitting a transfer order so it proceeds quickly, smoothly, and successfully.
Transfer Checklist
Perform whois search on a domain name you want to transfer and review this checklist. Keep the whois browser window open since items 1-4 refer to your domain's whois information.
- Domain Name is at least 60 days old with your existing registrar and has not been previously transferred within the past 60 days.
- Domain in ACTIVE or OK status with your current registrar.
- Domain Name is NOT in LOCKED status.
- Administrative contact's email address is correct and you can access messages sent to it.
- For .ORG, .BIZ, .INFO, or .US Domain Names, obtain transfer authorization code from current registrar.
1. Ensure domain name is not within 60 days of initial registration or a previous registrar transfer. Domain names that have not been registered for at least 60 days with it's current registrar cannot be transferred. Check domain's "created on" date in whois. If it's not more than 60 days old, you can't transfer the domain name. Transferred your domain within 60 days? You can't transfer it again until 60 days pass. Domain name transfers can be performed anytime outside this waiting period.
2. Domain name is in ACTIVE / OK status . To successfully transfer a domain, it must be in active status. Check the status field in your domain's whois record. Verify domain's status is listed as ACTIVE or OK. If domain status is ON HOLD (e.g. non-payment or dispute) or REDEMPTION PERIOD you cannot transfer your domain. Expired domains not on hold or in redemption can be transferred, but the window between expiration and these statuses is extremely short (usually one day). The administrative contact (see item 4) for an expired domain must authorize a transfer before these statuses become effective. We recommend submitting your domain name transfer order at least 7 days before an expiration date.
3. Domain is NOT LOCKED. Domain names in "LOCKED" status will not transfer. Often registrars provide a feature in your domain account to protect or lock a domain against unauthorized transfers. Lock is often enabled by default. Look at the whois record status field for your internet domain. If it does not say LOCK, TRANSFER PROHIBITED, REGISTRY-LOCK or REGISTRAR-LOCK you can transfer it. If your domain name is locked, you must disable the lock within your current registrar's domain management interface. Consult our Registrar Specific Instructions for Unlocking a Domain.
4. Administrative contact's email address is correct, up to date, and you can access messages sent to it. Domain name administrative contacts must authorize transfers. During a transfer, an Authorization for Registrar Transfer is emailed to the administrative email address. Review the existing Administrative Contact's name and email address in whois. If this address is inaccurate or inaccessible, update it with your existing registrar before submitting a domain transfer request. If a current registrar, domain reseller or hosting company is listed as your domain name's administrative contact, change it or ask them to change it to your email address.
5. For .ORG, .BIZ, .INFO, or .US domains, obtain domain authorization code from current registrar. The .ORG, .BIZ, .INFO, .NAME and .US Registry's require an Authorization Code (also sometimes called AUTH CODE, AUTHINFO, AUTH or EPP Code) to approve domain name transfers. Obtain this code from your current registrar before submitting a domain transfer in these zones. Consult our Registrar Specific Instructions for Obtaining Transfer Authorization Codes.
