Transfer of domains is required to manage Hosting and Domain with single hosting provider. Following steps are involved during transfer of domain from one registrar to another.

• Raise request for payment.

• Accept and approve the request so that domain will transfer successfully.

Domain requirements

In order to transfer a domain between registrars, a domain must meet the following requirements:
• The domain must be at least 60-days old. Domains that are not yet 60-days old are not transferable between registrars. This is a registry restriction, not a regulation instituted by eNom or other registrars.
• A domain must be in “ACTIVE” or “OK” status. If a domain is in “REGISTRAR-LOCK”, “REGISTRAR-HOLD”, “REGISTRY-LOCK”, “REGISTRY-HOLD”, “REDEMPTION PERIOD” or “PENDING DELETE” status, the global registries will not allow registrar transfer.
• If the domain was transferred to eNom, the transfer must have completed more than 60-days prior.

Transfer request fails due to following reasons:

• domain contacts did not response to verification e-mails
• domain contacts did not approve transfer of domain
• Whois information provided does not match current registrant
• Domain is currently not registered and cannot be transferred:
• Domain is locked at current registrar or is not yet 60-days old
• Transfer already initiated for this domain
• Transfer rejected by losing registrar
• Canceled by customer

Note: 1st TLD domains are governed and administered by ICANN.
