A domain transfer, in simple terms, refers to changing the name registrar of a particular domain. The owner of the domain name stays the same. When you transfer a domain and change registrars, all administrative correspondence would be made with the new registrar.

Potential Reasons for Domain Transfer

There are a variety of reasons why someone might transfer their domain. For example:

• You’re unhappy with your current registrar.
• You have recently bought or sold a domain name.
• You wish to renew a domain name.
• You want to take advantage of benefits offered by the new registrar.

In order to transfer your domain, it must be ‘Unlocked’ and set to ‘Not private’. You can transfer your domain to LimeDomains in just a few quick steps:

Step 1: Log in to your LimeDomains account and click on the ‘Domain Transfer’ tab.

Step 2: Add the domain name(s) and authorization key of the domain(s) that you wish to transfer to verify that the domain is available for transfer. (Contact your current registrar to get your authorization code, which confirms your ownership of the domain.)

Step 3: If it is available for transfer, click on ‘Add to Cart’n then Checkout and Pay for the transfer. An  authorization link is sent within 24 hours via email to the administrative or registrant contact of the domain.

Step 4: Click the link and approve the transfer by entering the security key and authorization code.  The domain status is changed to ‘ Pending approval from the former registrar’.
