- 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.
You will probably 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 $11.95 - not $35 or $70 to renew your domain
name.
Transferring your domain to us means that your domain will be moved
from your existing Registrar to us.

- What
does the $11.95 fee include when I transfer my domain from other
registrar to UniversalDomains.net?
By transferring the domain name to UniversalDomains.net
for $11.95, 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. There are no additional charges for
this service.
Back

- Will
my domain's whois information and H o s t i n g change?
No, everything on your domain name
record will remain the same when you transfer it to UniversalDomains.net,
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
the any changes.

- Can
you give me step by step description what happens when I apply for
domain name transfer?
- Step # 1 - Submit domain name to
be transferred to UniversalDomains.net.
- Step # 2 - You will receive 2
emails addressed to the Admin Contact for the domain and sent to
the email address of the Admin contact:
- One Email from Us Confirming
we have processed your domain transfer application.
- Second Email will be directed
to the administrator to approve the transfer. The
email will contain a link that you must click on or copy and
paste into the browser window, and an alphanumeric key that
you must cut and paste into the web page. You must hit the
Continue button as well as the Submit button in order to
properly confirm your intent to transfer. If you have any
questions, please let us know. If you did not receive
the admin link and your email address on the whois record is
correct, please contact
us immediately.
You must authorize the transfer in this final step,
otherwise your transfer will not be processed. This second
email is sent to an administrative contact email on your
original domain name record. Be sure to check your domain
name record now - click here
and enter your domain name - look for ADMINISTRATIVE contact
and verify that the email on this contact is valid, current
and yours! If the administrative contact email address
is your web H o s t i n g company or someone else, either
have it changed by them to your own email or make sure they
will cooperate with you in approving this process.
- Step 3. After you have
authenticated per Step # 2, request is sent to a losing
registrar. If it is Network Solutions or Register.Com
- expect email from Network Solutions or Register.Com
authenticating you as a domain owner, asking you to take
action, otherwise the domain transfer request will be
declined by them
- NETWORK SOLUTIONS will
send a short email asking you to hit REPLY to their
message and copy one line of text into the subject.
Requires domain owner to respond within 3 days -
otherwise declines the transfer request.
- REGISTER.COM will send you
a very long confusing email with lots of links - most of
those links would be to Renew with Register.Com but the
last link in their letter is actually the link to
authenticate and approve the domain move away from them.
Requires domain owner to respond within 3 days or
declines the request.
- Step 4. If all goes
well, the losing Registrar will release your domain - the
time limit is 5 days for releasing your domain. Some
Registrars like Network Solutions will email you with final
confirmation when your domain transfers out of their
jurisdiction.
- Step 5. Keep checking
your domain manager transfer status report. When you
receive an email from us informing you that the transfer has
completed successfully, 48 hours later you will be able to
access the Domain Manager and make any changes you wish on
your whois information.

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 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.

What
should I do first before I apply for my domain name transfer?
Make sure that the email address on your current domain record is
correct. 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.

How
long does it take to transfer my domain?
It usually takes 7-8 days to complete the transfer. Keep checking
through the Domain
Manager on the home page of UniversalDomains.net to see the progress
of your domain transfer. Below are the Domain Manager status
terms we use:
a. "Awaiting Approval"
This means we are still waiting for you to execute the
administrative approval link that we sent to the domain
administrative contact 24 hours after you submitted your domain name
for transfer/renewal to UniversalDomains.net.
The most common reason for this status message
is that the administrative contact's email address is outdated or
inactive at your prior registrar. Please confirm that your admin
contact's email
address is current and valid on the whois Global record. If it
is not, you must contact your prior registrar to update the admin
contact's email.
The email sent to the admin contact will contain a link that you
must click on or copy and paste into the browser window, and an
alphanumeric key that you must cut and paste into the web page. You
must hit the Continue button as well as the Submit button in order
to properly confirm your intent to transfer. If you have any
questions, please let us know. If you did not receive the
admin link and your email address on the whois record is correct,
please contact
us immediately
b.
"The admin of this domain has approved the transfer within
the last 24 hours"
The administrative contact for the domain name has responded to
the admin approval request from UniversalDomains.net and we have received
the go ahead to inform your present registrar of your intent to
transfer the domain name to UniversalDomains.net.to transfer the domain.
c. "Losing
Registrar has Declined"
When the administrator executes the transfer link,
the existing registrar (i.e. Register.com, NetworkSolutions.com)
will receive a notification from us informing them of your request
to change registrars. ICANN rules gives every owner of a
domain name their right to transfer his domain name from any
registrar to another registrar. However you must expect
that they will do everything to make it difficult for you to do so,
since they have lost hundreds of thousands of domain names due to
the outrageous fees they are charging. There is no real
solution for them since they cannot logically match our prices due
to the huge budget they are allocating for salaries, and many layers
of advertising considering that Network Solutions pays next to
nothing to register a domain name since they own the shop.
d. "Completed"
The transfer process for your domain is now complete. At this
point you may renew your domain name for additional years (up to 10)
if you like, and make changes to the contact information for your
domain. Please note that according to ICANN policy, you must
wait for a period of 60 days if you choose to transfer your domain
name to another registrar.

I
have a several hundred domain names and I would like to transfer
them to UniversalDomains.net. Will I get a special price and will
you help me with the transfer if I need help?
We have many clients who have transferred several hundred domain
names to UniversalDomains.net. On our web site, we have provided a
transfer interface where you can transfer up to 60 domain names at a
time. If you have several hundred domain names to transfer,
after you create an account with us, send us an email and include
the list of domain names to be transferred, along with your user
name and password, and we will specially process all of your domain
transfers for you on your behalf.
