Domain Name Transferring

Author: nomnso muoka

 

Some years ago all domains on the internet where managed by a single company (Network Solutions) and so the issue of transferring domains was not yet visible.But with time government deregulated the internet sector to avoid monopoly.So today we have well over hundred companies registering and managing peoples domains.

 

Transferring of a domain simply means that a domain is transferred from a particular registrar managing it to another with the owner of the domain still retaining every right to it.The content of the domain site is still the same and accessible even during the transfer period.

 

There are reasons for transferring a domain form one registrar to another,and it is basically because the services offered by the previous one are no linger satisfactory.You can transfer you domain at any time you wish and just about any kind of domain can be transferred,but there are exceptions that could prevent you from doing so, and they include:

 

(1.) If the domain name is in a legal dispute of some kind.

 

(2.) The identity of the domain name holder is in dispute or unknown.

 

(3.)The domain name holder is in bankruptcy.

 

(4.)The domain has only been with the registrar for 60 days.

 

(5.)And if the registrar refuses to transfer for other reasons. like everything on earth, domain name transferring has advantages and disadvantages. The advantages are that if the current registrar you use are not serving to you satisfaction you can change.And you can do so with any domain and to any registrar.While the disadvantages are that it may be confusing and there is no guarantee that the new one will be better.

 

The cost of registration varies with the particular registrar.Some will transfer for free to get your business,and some will charge between $2-$20,while others will reduce the few if the transfer is for a couple of years, Transferring methods varies from registrar to registrar.Some require a notarized form to be delivered to them while others will use online forms.It takes five to ten days for your request to be validated and also a couple of days for it to get effected.But through out the period your website will be accessible.
