Namejuice.com (Domain Registry of America or Domain Registry of Canada)

This tutorial will step you through preparing a domain at Namejuice (also known as the Domain Registry of America and the Domain Registry of Canada) 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)

Please be advised that Namejuice also imposes the following additional restrictions: "Without limitation, domain name services may not be transferred within 120 days of initial registration, within 120 days of a transfer, or 120 days of renewal, if there is a dispute regarding the identity of the domain name registrant, if you are bankrupt, or if you fail to pay fees when due."

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.

Step By Step Screenshots

Visit www.namejuice.com and click on the Control Panel link.

Log in with your domain name and password.

Click on Contact Information.

Uncheck "email email privacy" so we can send a transfer approval email to your administrative contact. Ensure your contact information is up to date. You can use the Registrant information for all of your contacts, or edit them individually.

Scroll down the page and click on Modify.

Click on Unlock Domain.

If your domain was registered or renewed in the past 120 days, you will receive an error with the number of days left before you can transfer out displayed.

Click on "Click Here To Unlock" to unlock your domain name.

Click on "Click Here to Proceed With The UnLock."

Your lock status will now be set to Not Locked.

After your domain has been unlocked, it is necessary to contact Namejuice.com to receive your transfer authorization code. You can contact Namejuice.com by email at support@namejuice.com. Detailed contact information is located on their Contact Us website located here.

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.
