We look forward to hosting your current domain and offering you our free or premium professional hosting. We want to ensure that your domain transfer request is successful and hassle-free. Please note the following Domain Transfer Tips. Thank you!
Domain Transfer Tips
-
Your
domain name must be at least 60 days old. If you just
registered a domain through another registrar, please wait
sixty days before requesting a domain transfer to our registry.
This is a rule set by ICANN,
the main domain governing body. If you don't want to wait
60 days, we request you to please consider registering a
new domain with Mister.net.
If you like, we can forward your current domain to your
new site free of charge.
-
Please
make sure that your domain is not locked by your current
registrar. Some registrars will lock your domain to
prevent transfer. However, as a domain owner, you
have the right to transfer domain to any registrar of your
choice. You can either login to your domain control
panel (if provided by your current registrar) or ask your
registrar to remove the lock so that you can transfer successfully.
-
The
email address currently listed on the domain name that you
want to transfer should be valid and operational.
When you request a transfer, a verification email is sent
to the domain name registrant to verify the transfer request.
If that email is invalid or does not reach you, your transfer
request will not proceed.
-
You
will not be charged if a transfer is not successful.
You will only be charged if a transfer is successful. An
additional year will be added to your domain renewal and
the free professional hosting will be set up for you.
-
Note about transfer costs
All domains that are registered and renewed through Mister.net are eligible for our free hosting package. If a domain has an extended registration period additional costs would apply to transfer the domain. Essentially, you would have to pay for hosting with Mister.net for the time the domain was registered with the other registrar. The pro-rated amount is $28 per year. If the domain is set to expire in the next 100 days, no additional transfer costs apply.
- We are here to help. Go ahead and request the transfer anyways and we will let you know of the transfer status. Thank you!
