What does transferring a domain name mean?
Transferring a domain name means changing the registrar your domain name is registered with. If you've already tracked down and purchased the perfect domain name for your business or project, but are finding yourself unhappy with the level of service your current registrar provides, don't worry. Transferring your domain to the registrar that best suits your needs is a relatively simple process.
Why do people transfer domain names?
There are many reasons why one might feel dissatisfied with the current registry side and choose to switch to the other side. After all, not all registrants are created equal. Most of them will offer packages that include different features, with different prices and different levels of reliability. Some offer superior customer support, while others are easy to navigate.
Features
Most registrars offer a unique set of services and features included with your subscription. Some of them include privacy protection, web hosting or email. However, not all service providers offer all the features you might need. Here are some important considerations when moving a domain name:
Provider: It is important to consider the source of the services and features offered by a particular registrar. Some, like Atakdomain.com, offer all of their services with seamless integrations - including email and web hosting. Other registrars may outsource some of these services to third-party providers and use legacy integrations that slow down your business.
Ease of use: Ease of use is a constant concern when considering the purchase of any good or service, and domain name registration is no different. In this case, you'll want to know that the features offered to you are easy to implement. Atakdomain.com offers a number of easy-to-use tools that make tasks like domain administration simple for you. Other registrars may not offer these, which may require a great deal of effort on your part.
Customer Support: As with any endeavor, you can hiccup and have questions that need answering. You want to know that someone on the other end of the customer service line is available to answer your questions when you need them. We at atakdomain.com pride ourselves on our ability to provide quality live support whenever you need it.
Price
Each registrar has a different formula for pricing their services. At Atakdomain.com, our transfer fee includes one year of registration. Some offer all-inclusive services that might give you more bang for your buck, as all the features you want are offered at a discount. Others ask you to buy a basic service at a lower price, and then charge for additional features that you might still need.
It is also possible that they offer a lower rate for the first year of service, only to charge more for the renewal. This kind of thing has been known to leave customers grumpy, so be sure to check the pricing structure to make sure you aren't overcharging for the services you want or need. If you are not satisfied with the pricing structure of the current registrar, it might be time to make a change and start the conversion process.
How long does it take to initiate a conversion?
Here's some good news for you: Completing the domain name transfer doesn't take long at all. If you take the time to sit and stay on his head, the steps you need to take can be completed within an hour or two. We recommend completing the process in one sitting, if possible, for security purposes.
How long to complete the process?
Once all requirements on your part are met, the rest of the transportation process is completed within 5-7 working days, under normal circumstances.

What do I need to transfer to atakdomain.com?
There are four things that must happen to facilitate a successful transfer to Atakdomain.com.
Domains must be valid and already registered with another registrar
- Registered domain names must be registered for at least 60 days and in an unlocked state
Transfers will only be successful if the admin contact is up to date
- You must obtain an authorization code to transfer to Atakdomain.com
How to prepare with your current registrar
There are a number of steps you will need to take with your current registrar to complete your transfer. With your current registrar, you will need:
- Open your own domain
- Disable privacy settings
- Update your contact information so that Atakdomain.com can send confirmation emails
- Obtain your transport license code
Make sure to register your domain for at least 60 days, or unsubscribe (more on that later)
Ensure that your domain is not currently involved in any legal disputes, which could lead to a registry lockout
- Contact your current service provider in person to obtain your authorization code. Some registrars do this for security purposes.
Unsubscribe to lock for 60 days
It is standard practice for a domain to be locked for 60 days after it is registered or transferred. During this period, you will be prohibited from updating the name or company name associated with the domain, changing the registrant's email address, or enabling / disabling the privacy settings. However, there is an option to opt out of this. By default, this option will not be selected, so if you plan to transfer the domain, you will need to manually log in and unsubscribe to this lock for 60 days.
Can domains be changed during transfer?
In a word no. If the transfer process is not yet complete, it cannot be changed. You will not be able to:
- Update name servers
- Change WHOIS registration information
Domain subscription renewal
To make any changes during this stage of the process, you need to contact your current hosting provider to request that the transfer be canceled. Otherwise, you must wait for the transfer process to complete (usually around 5 days) before making the required changes.
