Transferring domains away from register fly

March 7th, 2007

If like me registerfly have screwed you e.g. stealing your money and not renewing your domain its time to transfer your domains away.

I decided to go for godaddy (this offer is on there homepage near the top) as they have a special offer which is $6 for a transfer and they add another year onto the domain. So for example if you have a domain that is due to expire in 9/26/06 and you transfer it to godaddy then it will expire in 9/26/07.

To transfer your domain from registerfly to any registrar you need your domain unlocked, your domain authorization code (also known as epp code) and privacy protection (also known as protect fly or whoisguard) disabled and the correct email address on the domain record.

1. Firstly login to the registerfly website
2. Click the manage domains button on the main menu
3. Select your domain name by clicking (the domain name is blue underlined)

To unlock the domain
4. A new page will load, with the domain details on. Check the domain status if it says unlocked you should be ok (if the whois says locked try locking then unlocking). If it says locked then click the locked link.

5. A new page will load click the unlock tick box (also known as a checkbox) if it is ticked and click the update button. The page should reload with the updated information.
6. You can use the drop down menu to quickly go to your other domains and unlock them

To get your domain authorization code (also known as epp code)
7. Carry out steps 1 to 3 above to get to your domain information page.
8. Click the + button, to expand the domain contact information panel (see diagram)

9. Click the configure button in the domain contact information panel
10. The configure page will load. Scroll down to the button of the page and click the configure button.

11. Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page to find your authorization code.

12. You can also update your email information on this page.
13. To quickly get the epp codes for your other domains use the drop down menu with the domain names in at the top of the page.
