2.2.1 How to transfer a domain name to us for service

Domain Transfer in Your Personal Account

To initiate a domain transfer, inform your current domain registrar about your desire to transfer the domain to us, and request the domain transfer authorization code, open all data in whois, and unlock the domain for transfer.

Next, in your personal account in the “Domain Names” section, you need to initiate the transfer of the domain name, enter the transfer authorization code if it is used, and fill out the information forms - they should contain the domain owner’s data similar to the data provided by the current registrar. After we send the transfer request, sometimes you need to confirm the request in an email sent to the domain administrator’s email.
