You need to order all domain transfers using our secure
online ordering system. Even though there is no charge during the order
process, you still need to order the transfer so that the billing system can
add the domain name to your account to enable the domain to be renewed when
due.
The transfer process for UK domain names is simple and can be completed in a
matter of minutes but this all depends on your current domain provider. You
need to instruct your domain provider to change the domain names IPSTAG to
ours which is ENOM, once this has been changed we have control of the domain
and will be able to make any required DNS changes for you. |

All gTLD domain transfers incur a small fee, this will be
charged at our standard 1 year registration fee for gTLD domains as
published on our domain registration page. This charge is made due to the
registration life of the domain being extended by one year.
When you order a gTLD domain name transfer an automated transfer request
email is sent to the domains admin contact, this transfer email needs to be
authorised by the admin contact or the transfer will fail.
If you are not listed as the admin contact, it is recommended you make them
aware of the transfer so that person can authorise it on your behalf. To
speed up the transfer process we recommend that you have your domain
provider change the Administrative contacts email address to ours which is
domains@coolbluenet.com, this enables us to authorise the transfer for you.
Once the transfer process has been completed we will have full control of
your domain name and will be able to make any DNS changes you require.
Before you transfer, please make sure of the following:
1) Make sure that you have
access to the email address listed as the admin contact for the domain. Our
transfer process is email verification based, so if your email address
listed for the administrative contact of the domain is not current, the
transfer will fail.
2) Make sure your domain name does not expire it is advisable to
initiate your transfer at least 10 days prior to the expiry date, so there
will be enough time to complete the process.
3) All gTLD transfers require an authentication code when
transferring between registrars, you can obtain an authentication code from
your current registrar (where the domain is currently registered).
4) We cannot transfer domains that are less than 60 days old. If you
registered your domain within the last 60 days, please wait until after 60
days before starting a transfer to us.
5) Make sure your domain name is not locked at the current registrar.
Please contact your current registrar to make sure there are no holds or
locks when transferring your domain name (many registrars will automatically
place a lock on the domain for security).
6) Domain transfers add 1 year onto your expiry date, so you don't
lose any time you have paid for. There is one exception to this rule: If the
domain was recently reactivated from an expired state, you will not get a
year added to the expiry date.
7) Make sure the loosing registrar is aware you are moving the domain
away. If the loosing registrar is not aware you are moving the domain away
the may block the request even after you have approved it via the automated
email. |
