When can I transfer a domain name to you?
Last Updated: May 8, 2007 1:17 PM Print This Article ICANN regulations prohibit transferring a domain name that has been registered or previously transferred within the last 60 days.
Most registrars do not allow transfers of domains that are within 10 days of expiration or that have already expired. If your domain name is within 10 days of expiration or has already expired, we recommend that you first renew your domain with your current registrar.
When a domain name expires, it enters a 45 day grace period during which it may still be renewed. However, if you renew your domain name during this grace period you may still be prevented from transferring it until the full 45 days have passed. Check with your current registrar regarding their renewal and transfer policies during this grace period.
If a domain name is locked at the registry, it is unavailable for transfer. Check with your current registrar to see if your domain is locked.
If your domain is already registered here, then it cannot be transferred to us.
Some registries restrict the use of profanity in the domain name; this could also restrict a transfer.
If your domain is registered as Private it cannot be transferred. You must remove privacy.
