Transfers add an additional year to your current registration.
Due to a change at the com/net registry, transfer regulations have changed for all .COM and .NET domain names. Authorization codes will now be required to transfer domain names to Dotster.
To obtain an authorization code, you will need to contact your current registrar. You will be required to provide this authorization code to complete the domain transfer process with us.
If your domain is already registered with us, you have nothing to worry about. This notice is only for those who have their domains registered elsewhere and are in process of transferring OR planning to transfer to us.
For more information on authorization codes for domain transfers, please visit our support center.
To transfer a domain:
- DO NOT include the "http://www"
- Domains must already be registered with another registrar
- It must be a valid domain name
- It must be registered for at least 60 days with its current registrar before a transfer can take place
After your order has been completed, we will send a confirmation email to the administrative contact for your domain names. You must click the link provided in this email to provide transfer authorization codes and final transfer approval before your transfer will be processed completely.

Be sure to allow plenty of time before your domain's expiration date. Follow the directions provided. Dotster will send an email to the administrative contact shown in the WHOIS database within 24 hours. Respond to the email as directed. In 5-7 days, your transfer will be complete. You can check the progress of the transfer when you log in to your account. How is this different? Transfers initiated from other registrars will need additional verification and authentication by the registry. They send an additional email to you that must be responded to within a limited time frame, or else the transfer is denied. This can cause costly delays, which can result in the expiration of your domain, or a requirement that you renew your domain name before transferring. So, why wait? Save up to 60% on each domain you transfer!
