How can I transfer my domain to you?
27 August 2007Mgtek can arrange to complete your domain name transfer for you.
There are two things that must be setup correctly on your domain or the transfer will fail.
You must check these 2 things before requesting us to do a transfer.
- You must check to make sure the contact email on your domain is correct. Once we start the transfer, it is going to email this address asking for permission to move the domain. If the email listed isn’t your email or doesn’t work you can’t respond to this email and thus the transfer will fail.
- You must make sure the domain isn’t locked. If it is locked, even if you agree to the transfer, the transfer will fail.
You can check both of the above by performing a “Whois Lookup“
- Once there, type your domain.com in the field labelled “Whois Lookup:” and click submit.
- Now scroll down to where it says “Registrant Email:” This is where your correct email must be listed.
- Find where it says “Status:” If the status says “locked,” you must get this changed before doing the transfer.
To get the above changed you must contact the registrar you bought the domain from to do it for you. (Some let you make the changes yourself from their control panel)
Note: You can’t transfer a domain unless it has been at the current registrar for at least 60 days. If your domain is expired you cannot transfer it until you first renew it with the current registrar.
