This tutorial will step you through preparing a domain at DomainPeople for a transfer to Hover.
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)
.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.
*The .UK and .CA registries only allow domain privacy if the domain registrant / owner is an individual. Organizations cannot have privacy enabled.
Visit http://www.domainpeople.com and log in with your username and password.
Click on Domain Name icon.
Click on Edit next to the domain name being transferred.
If Registration Privacy is set to Protected, check the Forward Email address for accuracy. Click on Edit if the forwarding address needs to be updated.
After entering a new Forward Email address, click the Update button.
A confirmation message will be displayed. Click on Domain Names to return to the first screen again.
Under Registrant Contact click Edit.
Scroll down to the Administrator Contact section.
Check your email address for accuracy. Update your email address if it is outdated then click on Update Now.
Click on Domain Names to return to the first screen again.
Click on Edit next to the domain name being transferred.
Record your Auth Info Code (this is your domain's transfer authorization code) then click Edit.
Change the Lock Status to Unlocked and then click Update Now.
The domain has been unlocked and is prepared for the transfer!
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/
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.
