To begin, complete the following steps in your current registrar to transfer your domain to ALR Network. Below, you will find links for detailed transfer instructions from some of the most popular registrars:
1. Log in to your registrar account
Log in to the registrar account where the domain is currently registered.
2. Unlock the domain
Registrars include a lightweight safeguard to prevent unauthorized users from starting domain transfers. This is known as registrar lock, but you might also see it referred to as domain lock. In WHOIS, it may appear as clientTransferProhibited
. When enabled, the lock prevents any other registrar from attempting to initiate a transfer.
Only the registrant can enable or disable this lock, typically through the administration interface of the registrar. To proceed with a transfer, remove this lock if it is enabled.
3. Remove WHOIS privacy
In most cases, domains may be transferred even if WHOIS privacy services have been enabled. However, some registrars may prohibit the transfer if the WHOIS privacy service has been enabled.
4. Request an authorization code
Your new registrar needs to confirm with your old registrar that the transfer flow is authorised. To do that, your old registrar will provide an authorisation code to you.
This code is often referred to as an authorization code, auth code, authinfo code, or transfer code. You will need to input that code to complete your transfer to ALR Network. We will use it to confirm the transfer is authentic.
5. Initiate your transfer to ALR Network
From your ALR Network account, visit the "Domains" section of your account and click the "Transfer Domain". You can also click here, to start this process.
