To transfer your domain and its registration details fully to ASPnix's registrar, contact your current registrar to unlock the domain and obtain the EPP transfer authorization code. Use this code when ordering the transfer at https://billing.aspnix.com/cart.php?a=add&domain=transfer, leaving nameservers as default. We initiate the transfer after order verification and send confirmation. Respond to any approval emails from the losing registrar. The transfer must complete within 10 business days or we refund the payment.

Performing a domain transfer gives you the benefit of managing everything in one place with ASPnix. The process is largely automated but depends on cooperation from the current registrar. Below are expanded instructions including context for each stage and how to prevent issues that commonly arise during transfers.

#Prerequisites

  • Your domain registration must be in good standing and not recently modified in ways that prohibit transfers
  • Administrative access to your current registrar's dashboard
  • Approximately 10 business days of lead time before any critical deadlines

#Requesting the EPP Code

Begin by contacting your current registrar or logging into their management interface. Inform them of your intent to transfer the domain away. They are required to unlock the domain and supply the unique EPP code. This code is a security measure ensuring only the domain owner can initiate a transfer. Store it securely as it is time-sensitive and case-sensitive.

#Submitting the Transfer at ASPnix

With the EPP code in hand, go to the ASPnix billing portal transfer page. Input the domain name precisely as it is registered. Enter the EPP code in the corresponding field without alterations. It is important to use the default nameservers during this step to prevent resolution issues during the transfer.

Proceed through the shopping cart, confirm all details, and complete the purchase. Our team reviews the submission before starting the official transfer request with the domain registry.

#The Transfer Process and Follow-Up

Once we verify the order, the transfer is submitted. Expect an email from us confirming that the process is underway. Your previous registrar may also contact you for explicit approval. Failure to approve this request is a frequent cause of transfer failure.

Track the status in your ASPnix account. If no update is received and the transfer has not completed after 10 business days, contact support for a refund of the transfer fee.

#Post-Transfer Management

Successful transfers result in the domain appearing in your ASPnix client portal. At this point you can adjust nameservers to point to your hosting account, configure email, or make other DNS changes. Review all settings to ensure continuity of your website and services.

Keep records of the transfer for future reference. For additional assistance with DNS configuration after the transfer, refer to our knowledge base articles on nameserver updates.
