Transfer domain names from Dotregistrar to UK Superweb
Transfer Task 1: Verify that the domain name is eligible for transfer
To make sure your domain name can be transferred, check the following:
- The domain name has been registered for at least 60 days, and has been at Dotregistrar for at least 60 days.
- The domain name is not in "client update prohibited" status.
Transfer Task 2: Confirm contact information
Before you can transfer a domain, the Registrant and Administrative contact information must be up-to-date at Dotregistrar, because it is these contacts who receive the transfer request and okay the transfer.
To update these contacts at DotRegistrar:
- Log on to your account at Dotregistrar.com.
- Click the domain name you want to transfer.
- Click "Modify".
- Scroll to the "Registrant" and/or "Admin Contact Info" section.
- Update the Registrant and/or Administrative contact information if necessary.
- Click "Save Changes for THIS Domain".
Transfer Task 3: Obtain the authorisation code or retag the domain name
Some TLDs require that you provide an authorisation code for your domain name, to provide an extra level of assurance that the transfer request comes from an authorised source.
To transfer a .com, .net, .org, .info, .biz, .us, .name, .cn, .tw, .cc, or .in domain name, obtain the authorisation code from DotRegistrar
- Log on to your account at Dotregistrar.com.
- Assign the authorisation code using the "Domains to Transfer-Out" option.
To retag a .uk domain name:
- Contact DotRegistrar and ask them to retag the domain name to ISP tag UKSUPERWEB (all caps).
- Alternatively, you can retag/detag directly through Nominet, for a fee.
- When you transfer a .uk domain name, use the Auto verification transfer method.
- If you submit the transfer request to UK Superweb first, you must submit the request to DotRegistrar within a week.
- f you submit the transfer request to DotRegistrar first, you must submit the request to UK Superweb by the next 8th day of the calendar month.
Transfers of TLDs other than those named above do not require any codes or tags.
Transfer Task 4: Unlock the domain
Before you can transfer a domain away from DotRegistrar, the domain must be unlocked. Locking is a feature most registrars offer to prevent unauthorised transfers (hijacking) of domains.
To unlock:
- Log on to your account at Dotregistrar.com.
- Clear the "Protect Your Domains" check box.
Transfer Task 5: Transfer the domain name to UK Superweb
Once you have prepared the domain name at DotRegistrar, you're ready to transfer to UK Superweb.
