Transfer from ItsYourDomain

Transfer domain names from ItsYourDomain to Vservs

Overview

This page takes you step by step through the procedure for transferring a domain away from ItsYourDomain and into an account at Vservs.

The transfer process involves the tasks that are described below. Following the transfer tasks, we provide information about tracking the progress of the transfer, and ICANN rules regarding rejections.

 

Transfer Task 1: Verify that the domain name is eligible for transfer

To make sure your domain name can be transferred, check the following:

  • The domain name has been registered for at least 60 days, and has been at ItsYourDomain for at least 60 days.
  • The domain name is not in "client update prohibited" status.
 

Transfer Task 2: Confirm contact information

Before you can transfer a domain, the Registrant and Administrative contact information must be up-to-date at ItsYourDomain, because it is these contacts who receive the transfer request and okay the transfer.

To update these contacts at ItsYourDomain:

  1. Log on to your account at ItsYourDomain.com and go to the "Management" system.
  2. In the "Change/Update Information" section, click "Ownership Change" to change the Registrant contact information. Follow the instruction onscreen and click "Continue" to finalize.
  3. Update the Administrative contact information if necessary.
 

Transfer Task 3: Obtain the authorization code or retag the domain name

Some TLDs require that you provide an authorization code for your domain name, to provide an extra level of assurance that the transfer request comes from an authorized source.

To transfer a .com, .net, .org, .info, .biz, .us, or .cc domain name, obtain the authorization code from ItsYourDomain

  1. Log on to your account at ItsYourDomain.com and go to the Domain Manager.
  2. In the "Manage Your Domain" section, click "Authorization Codes".
  3. Click "Get Code". The authorization code will be emailed to the Administrative contact for the domain.

Transfers of TLDs other than those named above do not require any codes or tags.

 

Transfer Task 4: Unlock the domain

Before you can transfer a domain away from ItsYourDomain, the domain must be unlocked. Locking is a feature most registrars offer to prevent unauthorized transfers (hijacking) of domains.

To unlock:

  1. Log on to your account at ItsYourDomain.com and go to the Domain Manager.
  2. Click "Transfer Shield".
  3. Answer the security question.
  4. Click "Edit Transfer Shield".
  5. Select the domain name you want to transfer and click "Continue".
  6. Select an "Armed" status of "No" and click "Continue".
 

Transfer Task 5: Transfer the domain name to Vservs

Once you have prepared the domain name at ItsYourDomain, you're ready to transfer to Vservs.
