DOMAIN NAME TRANSFER
Domain
Name Transfer costs $10.00
including
1-YEAR renewal. We will add one year to your domain expiration date
on top of the time remaining
on your existing term. (EXAMPLE
: If your domain expires in September 2012, it will be extended to
September 2013. You do not lose one day.)
Transferring a domain is a very simple process.
First, prior to submitting your domain name to be transferred to us, you
must do the following at the losing registra:
1. Check the
admin email address for the domain name to make sure it is valid and
active. 2. If your domain name is set up with Whois privacy,
please disable it. 3. If you are using an email forwarding
feature with the losing registrar, make sure that the email address is not
connected to the domain name you are
transferring. In most cases the losing registrar will discontinue the
email forwarding feature while you are in the process of transferring your
domain. The DNS, however, will remain unchanged. 4. Unlock the
domain name. 5. Get the authorization code. The authorization
code will be requested by us at a certain time in the process. 6.
If you have several domain names and you wish to transfer (bulk transfer)
to make it much easier for you, rather than providing us with the
authorization code for each domain name, you can have all of the domain
names use the same code.
Next: 1. Please go to
www.NextRegister.com and click on
Domain Manager
and log into your account. 2. Click on ‘Search’, and then click
the Transfer Domain tab. 3. In the text field, enter the domain
name that you want to transfer, and then click Next. 4. On the
Transfer your domains page, click the checkbox beside the name, and then
click Done. The domain name is added to your shopping cart. Review the
items in your shopping cart, and then click Done. 5. On the
Summary page, enter your payment information, and then click Buy Now to
complete the registration process. The cost for the transfer includes
renewal for one year from the domain name’s original expiry date. Note:
Your credit card statement will show SHOPCO Store Name as the merchant for
this purchase. 6. An email is sent to you that includes
information about how to confirm the transfer. Click the link in the
message and use the domain name and password in the email to log in and
confirm the transfer. 7. Please allow 7 to 10 days for the
transfer to complete.
Some of the most common reasons for your
prior registrar denying the transfer include:
Not answering their confirmation email in time. Not answering their confirmation email in the proper format. The domain is expired or otherwise locked due to nonpayment.

What
is a domain name transfer?
If you already own a domain name,
you probably registered it with another Registrar, such as
Register.com or Network Solutions, and you probably paid $35 to
register it. Very likely you will be asked to pay the same amount to
renew the domain for another year and continue to pay the same amount
year after year. If you transfer your domain you will enjoy an
unbelievable savings on your domain name renewal, since it will cost
you only $10.00 - not $35 or $70 to renew your domain name, including
Private Whois and other services free of charge. Transferring your domain to us means that your domain
will be moved from your existing Registrar to us.

What does the $10.00 fee include when I transfer my domain from other
registrar to NextRegister.com?
By transferring the domain name to
NextRegister.com for $10.00, you get an automatic 1-year extension to
the domain registration expiration date.
This will include all Internic charges for 1 year and includes free
parking and free private whois.
Back to Top
Will
my domain's whois information and hosting change?
No, everything on your domain name
record will remain the same when you transfer it to NextRegister.com,
including your current Hosting company, and DNS record information.
The expiration date is the only thing that will change, which will
have an automatic extension of one year from the previous registration
date with the losing registrar. If you want to change Hosting companies, or update your domain name contact information, you will be able to make changes to
your domain name by using our
Domain Manager. You will need your username and password to make any changes.

What should I do first before I apply for my domain name transfer?
Make sure that the admin
contact email address on your current domain record
is correct. This email address will be used to send the transfer
approval and other emails pertaining to your domain transfer. One of the most common reasons for domain transfer to
fail, is an old or incorrect email address for the administrative
contact of your domain name on the Whois record with the current
registrar. You will also need to disable whois privacy if you
are using it, and disable the Transfer Lock and retrieve the
authorization code when you unlock your domain name. You will need
the auth code when confirming and accepting the domain transfer.

How can I manage the transfer of my domain name?
Once the Domain Transfer is finalized by
you, your Registrar is responsible for the actual transfer. They may
take anywhere from one to several days, depending on their current
procedures. If you check on your domain transfer in about 7-10 days from
your transfer application, it should show one additional year added to
the original expiration date, which is one way of telling that your
transfer is now completed and you may start using your control panel.
Some reasons
transfer may not be completed are:
DOMAIN NAME IS NOT YET 60 DAYS OLD
DOMAIN NAME IS ON HOLD BY A CURRENT
REGISTRAR FOR NON PAYMENT DOMAIN NAME HOLD / IN DISPUTE
PROCEEDINGS.
