Domain Transfers of Ownership

After we receive payment in full (and signed contract if discussed), we will send you a purchase confirmation email, unlock the domain and prepare for transfer to you. There are two ways to transfer a domain from our registrar to you. 

Transfer Procedure #1: PULL - Purchase a "request for transfer" from your registrar of choice. This "purchase" price is usually a one year extension to the expiration date of the domain. We will receive an email from your registrar asking us to approve the transfer away which we will do right away. 

Time elapsed from payment received to registrant change: 2 to 5 days.

Transfer Procedure #2: PUSH - Many of our domains are registered at our domain management site (at GoDaddy.com). After payment in full you will open an account at godaddy.com then send us your name, mailing address, email and phone number that you used when you opened the account. DO NOT send us your username or password. 

We will then do an "account change" or PUSH the domain name to this new account thus giving you complete ownership and control. You will also have the ability to purchase a full line of GoDaddy® supported services like email, hosting, whois privacy, etc at any time should you need domain services.

Most of our domains are in registered at our GoDaddy reseller account as well so we know the user interface, available products and services. Note that we do not see or have any access to your user name or password. All customer support is done directly by GoDaddy® regarding nameservers, parking, pay per click, forwarding etc. at any time.

Time elapsed from purchase to registrant change: Immediate transfer in most cases.

ICANN Transfer Restriction: If any domain name was acquired or renewed within the past 60 days, it is not available for transfer until the 61st day per ICANN transfer restrictions. If this is the case, payment in full will still be due as agreed but we will change the "WHOIS" information from our ownership, contact and nameserver information to your information after payment in full. You will then have ownership and nameserver control so you can host a web site, park the domain name or forward the domain to an existing web site right away. You can then complete the transfer away yourself after the 60 days have elapsed. We will provide you with the date of the 61st day from acquisition or renewal. 

After the transfer: Most sales are reported to Domain Name Journal to be posted in their weekly domain sales report updated each Tuesday evening. If you do not want a sale reported to Domain Name Journal, please bring this up during negotiations. 

For sales over $5000, we should discuss issuing a joint press release that will promote the transaction featuring you and/or your company as the buyer and us as the seller. 

If this transaction is meant to be private, please make that clear and we will honor such a request.

Transfer out: Regardless of the transfer procedure you choose when you buy a domain from us, you will be able to transfer the domain name away to any other registrar you choose after waiting the ICANN mandated 60 day transfer restriction.
