The transfer process below applies to transfers of .com, .net, .org, .info and .biz domains into Misk.com.

To initiate the transfer of your domain name into our services, please visit our Automated Transfers Page.

Once you have initiated the transfer of your domain name, the administrator will receive an email from us with instructions on how to confirm the transfer of your domain at your current Administrative Email Address.

During the confirmation process the administrator will be prompted to visit a secure web site and enter 2 pieces of information to confirm the transfer:

1. Confirmation Key
2. Authorization Code

Confirmation Key
The Confirmation Key is a randomly generated password which was sent in the confirmation email to the administrative email address.

Authorization Code
The Authorization Code, also known as the Auth Code or EPP Key must be obtained from the current registrar.

Once you have confirmed the transfer of your domain name, your current registrar will then either decline or release your domain. If your domain name is released, the transfer should be completed shortly. However, if your current registrar declines the transfer, you will need to contact them and find out why they declined your transfer.

Recently Registered

If a domain name has been registered within the 60-day transfer prohibited period, you will be unable to initiate the transfer as you will receive an error message when trying to process your order.

Recently Transferred

If a domain name has been recently transferred from one registrar to another, the registry will most likely deny the transfer unless the current registrar explicitly states that they will be able to release the domain name.

You will then be able to fully manage your domain name through your Misk control panel once the transfer has been completed.

Domain Transfers typically take 4 - 7 days to be completed. However, if the administrator confirms the transfer in a timely manner and everything goes smoothly, transfers can be completed within 24 hours.

If you are not sure what your Administrative Email Address is currently listed as, please follow the instructions on Checking your Administrative Email Address Before Transfer.

If your Administrative Email Address is not up to date, you will need to update your Administrative Email Address with your Current Registrar.

If the administrator does not receive the confirmation instructions within 24 hours please email support@misk.com, to have our support team resend the confirmation instructions.

As long as your domain name has not expired and your web host is operational, your domain is unlikely to go down. The registry servers will retain the associated nameserver information until told otherwise. Your nameservers will transfer over. However, any other DNS settings will be removed when the transfer has been completed.

Once you begin a transfer, the current registrar will send you an email asking you to confirm the transfer. Once you have approved this request, it typically takes 4 - 7 days for the actual transfer to complete.

With all domains except for .eu domains, any renewal will be added on to the current expiration date.

A .eu example: If today is July 15th 2006 and your domain's expiration date is August 30th 2006 and you renew for 2 years, the new expiration will be August 30th 2008.
