Requirements for Domain Eligibility
Here are some basic requirements for your domain to be eligible for the transfer. Your domain must qualify these necessities for successful transfer.
The domain must be registered for at least 60 days.If the domain is transferred earlier than also it should be 60 days old for a new transfer.The domain must be unlocked with your present registrar.Domain Whois status should be active/OK.Your domain must have an accessible email address for domain transfer confirmation.
1. Disable Whois Gaurd and Privacy Protection.
Whois guard and privacy protection may be enabled by default so you need to disable it for NameCheap to recognise your domain.
Disabling WHOIS Gaurd
Disabling Registrar Lock
2. Make a Transfer Request
YourDomain.com is transferable.Name of your current registrar.Status of Registrar Lock -OK (Means disabled)Administrative Email – Ok or available
- If everything looks good, click on Add to cart.
3. Shopping Cart and EPP
Make Shopping Cart Settings
Provide EPP Secret Code
This step is important without which it is impossible for a domain to be transferred and you need to do the process again. Now pay the charges to receive your invoice and transaction details.
4. Confirm your Transfer through E-Mail
5. Check Status and Final Confirmation
1. Will it Effect my DNS Records ?
DNS records are not stored with the domain registration. So, your DNS records will not be lost. When you transfer a domain name, gaining registrars will leave the nameserver associated unchanged, so your DNS records will keep working.
2. Do I Need to Again Add DNS Nameservers ?
If you are using any external DNS provider, you don’t need to do anything else. But if your previous registrar was your DNS provider then you need to copy the Nameservers manually.
3. Will my Website Close during Transfer Period ?
Yes, your domain may face a downtime for few minutes during the transfer process. Note & Conclusion: If the domain is not transferred check the transfer status.
