How to move an
existing Domain:
The transfer process depends on the registrar with
whom you registered your domain name. Most registrars
request that you log on to their systems and transfer the
domain name yourself using the user name and password they
assigned you.
Once you have logged on to their site, you will need to
change your current nameserver information to your new
host information. The transfer process typically
takes 24 to 48hours.
Domain move is officially known as domain
modification, and involves a change in the
nameserver names and ip addresses for the domain. Domain
move does NOT involve any change in the
ownership, registrant or registrar of the domain.
To move an existing domain to use our DNS and
forwarding services, simply take the following steps:
Step 1: Use domain lookup to check
eligibility before you start:
- The domain you are trying to move must have been already
registered with any appropriate registry, and
the payment status for the domain must have been
current.
- You must be the Registrant or Admin Contact
of the domain or must be authorized by the Registrant
or Admin Contact of the domain to request a
domain move. Most registries require that domain
modification request must be initiated and/or approved
by the Registrant or Admin Contact for the domain.
Nameservers are also known as DNS servers
or domain name servers. The nameserver update process may
vary depending on the Registrar of your domain. Some
registrars offer email method to allow update requests
while others require that you log into your registrar's
control panel to update the nameservers. Also, some
registrars require that you enter both nameservers and IP
addresses while others would only require you to enter the
nameserver names and resolve the IP addresses
automatically. If you are not sure, then please feel free
to ask us or contact your registrar. After you update the
nameservers for your domain with your registrar, initially
it takes up to 24-48 hours for the domain to start using
our DNS servers. This initial delay is due to the
propagation of registry updates, and depends on how
frequently various DNS servers in the internet check for
the updated settings for your domain.
