PRE CHECKLIST
a) Check the whois and are sure they are unlocked (status: OK) - see FAQ #1
b) Change all your whois info back to your own
c) Make sure PROTECT FLY is turned off
d) Have your OWN email in the whois admin contact email spot
e) Have your auth codes ready
1) Go to your preferred registrar (NameCheap.com in this example) and log into your account and go to to bulk transfer. (You can also use GoDaddy if you
want.. but they have some other navigation flow, this is mainly for
namecheap but the steps are similar)
2) Type all of your domains into the bulk transfer and click submit. They should showed up as 'unlocked'
and the registrar should confirm that you can transfer them, and then check out.
3) Go to the registrar's MANAGE TRANSFERS it should list the domains you are transferring. You have to then have you click each of the names and
type in the AUTH CODE from RegisterFly and confirm it. I do that for each
domain, the domain should confirm it is now in the transfer queue.
4)Soon, you should receive emails from the registrar wanting me to confirm the
transfer. Click the link (or follow the instructions) inside the e-mail and accept the
transfer. The registrar should confirm acceptance of the
transfer.
5) Now just wait for the old regfly
domains to transfer over to your new registrar. REMEMBER: this can take up to 5 days. If regfly
doesnt email you or properly contact ICANN (In many cases RegisterFly customers will not receive these transfer confirmations until ICANN forces the issue). They
should automatically transfer by DEFAULT... whether
regfly likes it or not. This is due to a new ICANN rule where unlocked
domains will get transfered to another registrar after 5 days if no
'denial' email is responded to. So either way... in 6 days you should
have your domains, barring technical issues!
