DomainPeople - Complete Tutorial

This tutorial will step you through preparing a domain at DomainPeople for a transfer to Hover.

Domain Transfer Restrictions

Domain transfers will be outright rejected if:

* the domain name is locked (this tutorial will show you how to unlock your domain name)

* the domain name was registered or transferred in the past 60 days

* the authorization code provided is invalid (this tutorial will show you how to obtain the authorization code)

* the domain name is in redemption

* there is an unresolved domain dispute (a form of registrar lock)

This tutorial applies to the following top-level domains:

.com
.net
.info
.org
.tv
.us
.me
.biz
.tel

Other top-level domains, such as .AT domains, have a slightly different transfer process. For example, you do not need to unlock .AT domain names or obtain an authorization code.

You can use the chart below as a guide for top-level domain specific rules (click on the image to zoom in):

*The .UK and .CA registries only allow domain privacy if the domain registrant / owner is an individual. Organizations cannot have privacy enabled.

Change the Lock Status to Unlocked and then click Update Now.

Check WHOIS Propagation

If you made changes to your domain contact information, use a WHOIS look up tool to verify that the new contact information has propagated. Changes to domain names might take a couple of hours to appear. You can perform a WHOIS look up using the following websites: http://www.smartwhois.com/ or http://whois.domaintools.com/

Bring Your Domain to Hover

Now that your domain is prepared for the transfer, you can start the process of bringing the domain to Hover. Click on this link for a step by step tutorial.
