Please read through all these sections before submitting your transfer request:

Once the transfer is complete Solutions Supply will contact you, we can then add our web hosting products and email accounts to your domain if you require them.

Transfer rules
Different registrars have different rules regarding when a domain name can be transferred. We have collated these rules by looking at the "worst case" policies across all of the major registrars. Please make sure your domain complies with these simple rules before you attempt to transfer it:

1. Your domain must have been registered more than 60 days ago.
2. Your domain must have at least 21 days left before it is due for renewal (some registrars have less severe restrictions so it might be worth trying a transfer if you are within 21 days of expiry).
3. Your domain name must not have expired.

What happens if the transfer fails?
If the transfer fails we will refund your transfer fee and other handling costs. However, if you follow the instructions on this page the chances of a failure will be significantly reduced.

Are you the admin contact?
To transfer a domain you must be listed as its administrative contact. This is necessary because the admin contact will be asked to approve the transfer and if you are not listed you will never receive the transfer request email.

Use this tool to look up your Domain Names record. If you cannot receive mail sent to the admin address listed, then you must ask your current registrar to change the admin email address, wait a few days and then come back to this form and try again.

Whois Search

.org .info .biz and .us domain transfers
In order to complete the transfer process you will require a special Authorisation code (also known as an "Auth Code"). This is obtained from your current registrar who is required to provide this under his contract with the registry.

Special cases
If your domain name was registered through one of the following companies you will have to take special steps to complete the transfer:

UK2 / UK2.NET
Joker.com (and any of its resellers)
With UK2 domains registered before August 2003 and all Joker.com domains you will need to get your admin contact changed to your by the current registrar. Then visit www.joker.com and open a transfer window. Once you know the date of this window come back to this page on the first day of the window and submit your transfer request.

How much does it cost to transfer a domain into Solutions Supply?
We do not charge for domain transfers.
Time to transfer is around 48 hours (but this can be longer dependant upon the current registrar).
