Transfer Domains
Normally, once you register a domain you can usually change host as
often as you like. You can either have your domain registered and be
hosted by one provider or have a separate registrar and
web host. Domain transfers occur when domain owners are not happy or
satisfied with the services of their current host. The process is easy
and to transfer domains usually takes about five to seven days to be
completed provided that the domain names has been unlocked and available
for transfer.
To
initiate a transfer, the owner must first sign up with his
current choice of hosting company who in turn will send an
e-mail containing a link to an identity verification page. Once
the domain's rightful owner is confirmed and verified, they will
contact the current registrar to request the release of the
domain. The present registrar then will send an e-mail to the
domain owner and after the latter verifies the letter, another
email will be sent to the domain name owner for confirmation of
the transfer.
When the transferring of domain is finished, the transfer will
be activated within seven business days after which the owner
can start updating his domain information with his new web host.

If the present registrar is
NetworkSolutions, Register.com, or Verisign transfer should take place
within the 45 day time frame before the day of expiration of the domain.
It must also be recommenced at the present registrar before the start of
the transfer request. Dot CA domains can be transferred even if they are
suspended.
The other domains like dot com/biz/net should have at least 30 days
before the expiration date. If the dot ca domain name transfer involves
a monetary transaction, one may acquire an escrow service which is a
safe way for both current and new dot ca domain name registrants to do
transaction.
