What does it mean to transfer registrars?
If you already own a domain, you registered it using a domain name registrar. By using our Transfer Registrar tool, you are simply transferring your domain from the registrar you originally registered with and making UnicDomains.com the registrar of record. (Please note, there is a 60-day transfer hold - which means you have to wait two months from the initial registration before you can transfer your domain.)

Why would I want to transfer registrars?
When you registered your domain you probably paid up to $70.00 to reserve it. Now that it is coming due, you can save yourself some money by taking advantage of UnicDomains.com's extremely low transfer prices. In addition, once the transfer is complete, you will be able to easily manage your domain by using our secure online manager.

How much does it cost?
You can transfer your domain from your previous domain registrar to UnicDomains.com for just $9.95 for .com, .net and .org transfers for .ca Canadian domains are CAN$29.95. This will add one year to the original registration term. For example, if your .com domain is due to expire in 2 months, you can transfer it to UnicDomains.com for $9.95, and it will then expire in 1 year and 2 months.

Will transferring change my information?
No. All existing information in your domain record will be preserved. Once the transfer has been completed, you can then use the Domain Management Control Panel to change any information you choose.

Is bulk transfer available? In other words, can I transfer more than one domain name at a time?
Yes, you can transfer up to 60 domains at a time. Simply click on Transfer Registrar on the left menu of our home page. Then log-in if you are an Existing User or Click on NEW USER if this is your first time using our services and fill in the required information then click on Sign Up. Then follow the instructions detailed in the previous question and answer.

How long does it take to transfer a domain?
It takes anywhere between 1 to 7 days. If you answer to the confirmation e-mail immediately and the registrar responds quickly to our request to transfer your domain then the domain might be transferred on the very same day. The average transfer takes 3 days.

I tried to transfer my domain name to another registrar and the transfer was denied. What could be the reason?Before you transfer away, make sure that you have removed the registrar-lock from your domain name if you had bought that option. Even if you do not have registrar-lock active on your domain, it is possible that the transfer will be denied the first time you try to transfer away. If this happens, simply initiate another transfer and the transfer should proceed.
You will need to approve the transfer from a verification email that is sent to the administrative contact for the domain name when we receive a request for transfer.. Make sure that you have access to that email address and that you follow the instructions to approve the transfer.
