How to Transfer a Domain

Since you have decided to transfer an existing domain name to our service, we need to inform the current registrar (ie. the company it is registered with) that you wish to use it with our service.

Step One
We need to find out what company you originally registered your domain name through. To do this you will need to enter the full domain name (eg. yourdomain.com) in the form below and click "Submit". You must exclude the "www." part of your website address but include the extension such as ".com" otherwise it will not work.

The results of your search will be opened in another browser window. They will look something like this:

In this case it shows us that the domain is registered with a company called "TUCOWS, INC.". In order to modify this particular domain name you would need to go to the "Referral URL" located at "http://www.opensrs.org". It also tells us the nameservers that the domain currently points to and the last time that this information was modified.

You should use the data in the "Referral URL" to visit the website of the company that your particular domain is registered with and on their site you will be able to modify your domain to point to the following nameservers:

Primary Nameserver Hostname: NS.EXPRESSERVERS.COM
Primary Nameserver IP Address: 208.56.210.67
Secondary Nameserver Hostname: NS2.EXPRESSERVERS.COM
Secondary Nameserver IP Address: 208.56.139.130

Your particular registrar may not ask you for the "Nameserver IP Addresses" but only for the hostnames - this is fine. If you have any questions or problems on how to modify your domain name with a particular registrar then you need to contact that company direcly. We are unable to modify it for you or to provide detailed assistance as there are many hundreds of registrars and the procedure for each is different. They will only accept modification requets from you, the owner of the domain, not us - we can not modify your domain name.

We have step-by-step guides available for modifying your domain name with two popular registrars, Register.com and Network Solutions.
