Domain name registrant transfer

This is when ownership of the domain name is changed to a new owner or registrant.

For most domain names a transfer of ownership simply involves following the instructions to update the domain contact details and apply them to the owner contact. However some registries have different procedures as listed below. As part of a registrant change you may want to move the domain name into its own account, you can do so by emailing our support. Our support will confirm the account change via an email to the current admin contact for the domain name.
