INYC Domain Name FAQs

3. Can I transfer an existing domain name?

A. Yes. Whether you place an order by telephone or via our online order form, be sure to specify that you are requesting a transfer and NOT a new domain. You should keep the service at your present site while waiting for your domain name to transfer. We will provide you with a temporary IP address so you can mirror your site on our server. All e-mail and Web pages will still be accessed from your current site. When Register.com receives the template, they will generate an acknowledgment request (Ack/Nak) and send it to the current administrative contact of the domain. Once the administrative contact acknowledges the transfer, Register.com will update their records.

It is very important that you use the same company name and address on the template as that which is on file at Register.com. If the company name differs from that which is on file, Register.com will treat the transfer as a delete/new and will not allow the transfer to be completed.

If the contact information for the domain is no longer current, you will need to prepare a fax on company letterhead, as follows:

1.Include company name, address and phone number in the header
2.Reference the domain name and NIC tracking number
3.Request the domain name modification in accordance with the NIC number to the new Name Servers
4.Have the President or Vice-President of your company sign the request
5.Print the name and title below signature
