How to transfer a domain ?

You can also transfer your domain name to another domain name provider. Both parties must intend to proceed to the transfer, normally there should not be a problem unless there is a valid reason like the domain name is in a legal dispute; the identity of the domain name owner is in not clear or unknown; the domain has been with the domain name provider less than 60 days; the domain name is too close to its renewal; the person with rights to the domain name is bankrupt. The domain name provider has a certain delay (which should not exceed 5 days) in order to approve or to reject your transfer demand. If no response is received within the five-day period, the transfer request is granted to the new domain name provider. What happens exactly while changing to another domain name provider? Once the request has been confirmed, the new domain name provider processes the transfer request by contacting the registry. The registry then notifies your current domain name provider of the transfer request. The transfer process takes 5 to 10 calendar days to be completed.

A domain name can also be transferred to another domain name provider, following a contract between 2 parties or more, a purchase agreement or any other voluntary transfer. Only the current registrant can initialise this transfer procedure which can in most of the cases be done online.
