Info

If there are any issue with the domain name transfer we will email the person that requested the transfer. Please watch your email and respond promptly to so we can successfully transfer your domain name.

Preparing the domain name

  1. Verify that it has been more than 60 days since you registered or last transferred the domain name.  A domain name cannot be transferred within 60 days of registration or its last transfer.
  2. Verify that the domain is unlocked (secure mode is disabled).  This is typically represented by Status: OK in the domain name's Whois information.
  3. Verify that privacy is disabled on the domain (email address in step #4 should be a real person's address).
  4. Verify that you have access to the email address specified in the "Admin Email" portion of the domain registration. You can find this information by using a whois tool like Allwhois.com.  If you do not have access to the email account, you should either contact someone who does (and will forward emails received to you) or change the email on the domain name.
  5. Verify that you have the correct domain transfer authorization code.

You can submit payment for the domain name transfer invoice from your Invoices page (Services > Account Administration > Invoices).  The domain name transfer will be automatically initiated as soon as the invoice for the transfer has been paid.

Approving the domain name transfer

When the transfer is initiated after payment, an email will be sent to the current domain name Administrative Contact (using the email address provided in the Whois information as described above).  You must click the Approve link in the email you receive from our registrar.  If the email address is not available because privacy is enabled, or the email address is not accessible to you, you will not be able to approve the transfer, and the transfer will fail.

Verifying that the domain name transfer has completed

After the transfer processes (5-7 days after payment) you should verify that the transfer completed successfully.  There are three ways that you can verify that the domain name transferred to RescueGroups.org:
