Domain Name Transfer

Transfer Process

Domain Name Transfer

At JS-Solutions Networks, we have work on domain name transfers with domain registrars all over the world. We will be able to advise you, execute the domain transfer plan and minimise any disruption to your business operation.

Beginning October 28, 2006, transfers of .com and .net domains require an EPP - a transfer authorization key - in order to migrate from one web host to another. These key codes are generated by the current domain registrar (often your web host). The steps to transfer a domain are:

• The transfer must be announced and verified by the current registrar to the new registrar.
• The domain must have been registered for at least 60 days.
• The domain must maintain an ACTIVE or OK status.
• ICANN's Transfer policy states that a domain must remain with one registrar for at least 60 days before becoming eligible for another transfer. The exception to this rule is in cases of legal disputes involving the domain registration.
• Any registrar transfer will now require a transfer authorization key. A transfer authorization key is required for each distinct domain.
• A transfer is not complete until the new registrar receives the transfer authorization key from the previous registrar

For com.sg/ .org.sg / .edu.sg /.net.sg domain name, to transfer, you must:

• A registrar-issued domain transfer password is required. Verify the password with your registrar to minimize any possible delay.
• Submit the transfer request before the domain's expiry date.
