Moving a domain

Transferring my domain to a new provider

What is the process for transferring my domain to new DNS Servers?

How-To-Guide: Transferring my domain.

Your new ISP (web hosting provider) must submit a Domain Name Modification request to the listed Registrar of your domain (i.e.: GoDaddy, Register.com, Names4Ever... On this request they list the host names and IP addresses of the new DNS Servers to which you are transferring your domain name.

There are twenty or more independently-owneed domain Registrars that all write domain data to a central Domain Name registry. To update your domain name, you need to contact the Registrar with whom your domain was originally registered.

It the responsibility of the Internet provider to whom you are moving your domain to assist you with the process of moving your domain.

To determine who the Registrar for your domain is you might have to perform a search.
Once you've know who your domain registrar is that holds your domain regsitration, visit their site for information on domain name transfer requirements. Each Domain Registrar has different procedures for validating whether the Domain Name Modification request is originating from the true owner of the domain.

Your Domain Registrar may need additional verification from you in the form of a signed letter, authorizing the modification or transfer of your domain name.

Who is responsible for transferring my domain?

Your new ISP, web hosting provider, or internal Network Administrator is responsible for the submission, follow up and all logistics involved in transferring or updating your domain record.

**Domain Name Modification** request

Your new provider will be assigning your domain-name with its new DNS Server names and new IP address (their network specifics for your domain).

Your new provider provides this new DNS routing information to the Domain Registry via a ** Domain Name Modification ** request. Since these DNS Server Names and IP addresses are assigned by your new provider, your new provider MUST submit the transfer request and handle all related logistics.

Contact information of my domain record is out of date!

What if the contact information listed on my domain record is out of date?
As the legal owner of your domain name, you or your company are ultimately responsible to keep your contact information on your domain record current.

Failing to do so can result in difficulty transferring your domain, not receiving billing notification for domain renewal and ultimately revocation of your domain name due to non-payment of the annual renewal fees. You can contact your Domain Registrar to update contact information on your domain record.

It is taking too long to transfer my domain name!

If your domain transfer is taking a long time, you should contact your new ISP (web hosting provider) and have them determine why. Check that all the steps outlined above have been completed.

Most experienced and competent ISP's will handle a majority of the paperwork, and follow up on your domain registration process and paperwork, on your behalf. Your new ISP should provide detailed instructions in the form of an FAQ sheet, to assist you with your domain transfer. Reputable providers will not sign you up with a new account and just leave you in limbo without guidance on transferring your domain. This might be a poor choice of ISP or hosting service if this is your case!
