Pre-Transfer Checklist:
- Confirm your administration email address in your WHOIS records.
- Disable domain privacy. If the privacy service forwards incoming email, check the “forward to” contact email address for accuracy.
- Verify that the domain is unlocked.
- Obtain the domain’s transfer authorization code (also referred to as an EPP or auth code).
- Go to NetworkSolutions.com and click on Manage Account in the top right corner of the page to login to your account control panel.
-
Enter your User ID and Password. Click Login.
-
Click the plus sign next to Profile & Accounts, and then click User Profile. If the Email address in the User Profile is not correct, click Edit User Profile.
-
Make your changes and then click Save.
-
Click Go to Account Manager Home.
- Click View/Edit WHOIS Contacts under Profiles & Acounts.
-
Select the checkbox next to your domain name to be transferred. Click Go.
-
Select the radio button next to WHOIS Administrative Contact. Click Go.
-
Select the radio button next to Yourself. Click Continue.
-
In the top right hand corner, click Updates & Alerts. You will return to the main page.
- Under Your Services, click Manage It for your domain name.
- If Private Registration Status is set to Private, click Turn Private Registration off.
-
Select the radio button next to Turn Private Registration off. Click Go. You will be returned to the Domain Details page.
-
If Domain Protect is set to On, click Turn Off or Request Authorization Code.
- Click the radio button next to Leave Domain Protect Off. Select the checkbox next to Request Authorization Code. Click Save.
- Verify that the domain has been unlocked and privacy is disabled.
- Log into your email to obtain your domain authorization code.
Now that you have completed everything listed in the checklist, you can proceed to submit your transfer request to Doteasy. You can do this via the Renew My Domain Through Doteasy link in your Member Zone – the Transfer Registrar process requires a 1-yr extension to your domain registration. The registry will process your request and send a confirmation email to you at your domain admin email address. You will need to reply to it with your domain Auth Code.
Once the registry receives your transfer confirmation and domain Auth Code, it will notify Network Solutions of the transfer. Network Solutions will then release your domain and notifies Doteasy to complete the transfer and send you the Transfer Complete confirmation.
This process takes anywhere from 5 to 10 days, providing you have completed all the tasks in the Pre-Transfer Checklist.
