Ordering a domain transfer will transfer the registration of a domain name from its current registrar to Varial Hosting, extending its registration period by one year.
In order to ensure a successful domain transfer, please verify that your domain name conforms to the following rules prior to ordering:
- The domain is older than 60 days and is not expired. The domain transfer process may require up to a week to complete. Please submit your domain transfer order with sufficient time to complete prior to your domain's expiration date.
- The domain must not be locked to the current registrar. This feature is commonly known as "registrar-locking" and must be disabled prior to transfer.
- You must have access to the email address specified as your domain's administrative contact. An email will be dispatched to this email address that will require you to manually approve the domain transfer request within the given time frame.
- When transferring .com, .net, .org, .ca and select other domains, a transfer authorization (EPP) key is required to process your order. This key can be obtained from your current registrar.
If you do not have access to modify your domain name's configuration or are unsure of how to verify and complete these steps, please contact your current registrar and ask them to verify that your domain conforms to the above rules, adjusting any setting that may be incorrect. You may also feel free to email sales@varialhosting.com at any time and we would be more than happy to guide you through the domain transfer process or answer any of your questions.
