Transfer
Transferring a .コム
- To transfer a .コム domain name, you need a transfer code.
- Make sure there is no transfer lock on the domain name. You can check this in the WHOIS.
- If your current registrar has set a transfer lock, ask as the registrant for it to be removed.
- The transfer is submitted to the registry, which automatically informs the current registrar that the domain name is being transferred.
- The current registrar sends the registrant, and possibly the administrative contact as well, an email about the transfer. In it, you may be able to approve or reject the transfer.
- If you neither approve nor reject the transfer, it is completed automatically after 5 days.
The transfer code
- You always need a transfer code. You request it as the registrant or administrative contact from your current registrar.
- The code must be 8 to 32 characters long.
- The code must contain at least one letter, one number and one special character, such as ! $ % ? & @ * + - or ~.
Owner
Change of registrant
- Every change of registrant is subject to ICANN's transfer policy.
