When you hire the domain transfer, we’ll ask you to accept it. What does this mean?

This process is part of a security system that prevents anyone who requests a transfer of your domain to another provider from stealing it. For a domain to be transferred, the owner must accept it.

HOW IS A DOMAIN TRANSFER ACCEPTED?

It’s simple. You’ll receive an email stating that the transfer of your domain has been requested, and the text of the email will indicate that if you agree, you should click a link.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR THAT EMAIL TO ARRIVE?

Not long. Within less than 24 hours you should have received the email requesting your approval. If you haven’t received it, get in touch with our domain specialists.
