WE RECOMMEND GODADDY.COM
The following information explains the procedure for transferring an already registered domain (i.e. one that you have just purchased from domainzebra.com) to another domain registry.
The domain name transfer process involves several parties (including you) and requires many steps so you will need to know the important details of this process.
That's why we have prepared this tutorial to help you make your domain name transfer as smooth as possible!
Domain Name Transfer Tutorial
Step 1. First be sure that you have filled out the domain registrant information here.Step 2. We will then enter that information to initiate the transfer.
Step 3. Once initiated, you will receive an email at the email
address you entered on the form in Step 1 of this tutorial. The subject
line in the email should read, " Change of Registrant Pending."
Note: If you entered an email address that has a spam blocker or requires whitelisting, then you will not receive the email and you will have to return to the registration information form to renter the information with an email address that will accept an email that is not whitelisted.
Note: The email indicates what to do if you are using a GoDaddy.com
account to accept the transfer (in other words, if you are using
GoDaddy.com
as
your domain registrar for the purchased domain name).
At this point, choose the option below that fits your particular situation.
Option 1. If you are using Godaddy as the registrar, then please go
to the Domain Push Tutorial now.
Option 2. If you are not using Goddady as the registrar, then
continue with this tutorial.
Step 4. To register your new domain name that you purchased from us at a registrar different from our registrar, you will need to go to your domain registrar and purchase the right to register the domain as a domain transfer.
Step 5. Your domain registrar will then initiate the transfer of the
domain from us to you. We will receive an email authorizing the transfer.
You may or may not (depending upon the registrar) receive an email notifying you
that the transfer is set in place. Often, the email will tell you to do nothing
and that is what you should do.
The transfer usually takes from 5 - 7 days to complete.
