To transfer your domain name away from Name.com, you must make a request at the registrar where you have chosen to transfer your name. Please remember that ICANN regulations do not allow a newly registered name to transfer until it has been registered for at least sixty days.
When you make a request to transfer, the gaining registrar will require an authorization code. The authorization code(s) for your domain name(s) can be found directly within your account. Simply follow the steps below.
- Log into your account.
- At your account home page, click on the domain name you wish to transfer.
- On the “Manage domain name” screen, the authorization code for your domain name will be listed on the right hand side of the web-page, next to the “Auth Code” designator.
For more than one authorization code, simply repeat steps 2 and 3.
If, for any reason, you are unable to find your authorization code(s), you can open a support request or give them a call. We are happy to assist you.
Your domain name will also have to be unlocked. To unlock your name, you can do the following:
- Log into your account.
- At the “Hello” page, click on your domain name, listed near the bottom of the page.
- On the “Manage domain name” screen, click the image of a closed padlock.
- Read the posted message, and press “Continue managing domain.”
Note: you may re-lock your domain by clicking the open padlock icon on the “Manage domain name” page.
If you have Hidden WHOIS active for your domain name, it will have to be disabled.
That should do it.
