When you want to look something up on the internet, you open up your web-browser and type an address into the little box at the top, right? But have you ever wondered what that address actually means, and how the computer knows what to do with it? Well that address is called a domain name, and it’s sort of like a name in the phonebook. When you type it in, the browser looks it up in the domain registry, and see the corresponding numerical address that the computer can use to contact the server in question. When you want your own domain name, so that you can have your own site, you get it from a registrar, a company that manages many domain names. But sometimes, for many different reasons, you might want to switch which registrar is in charge of your domain. This is called a domain transfer. Here’s how to do it.
- Step One: Contact new registrar
Go to the new registrar’s page, and look for the page letting you request a transfer of domain to that registrar. It should be easy to find, as this is how they make their money! Fill out the form, and they will contact your current registrar asking them to relinquish the domain.
- Step Two: Confirm
After the new registrar has filed its request with the old one, you should get a call from the old registrar asking to confirm your wish to transfer the domain name. When you do so, the process of transferring will begin.
-Step Three: Twiddle your thumbs
Even in the Internet Age, not everything can be instantaneous. As such, the actual transfer of your domain from one registrar to the other can take as many as ten days to complete. You should receive confirmation when it all goes through.
And that’s all there is to it.
