How to Transfer a Domain to CraigMillar

At CraigMillar, we understand that transferring your domain is an important step in managing your online presence. Whether you're consolidating your domain portfolio or seeking better services, we're here to guide you through the process seamlessly. Below are the steps to transfer your domain to CraigMillar:

1. Check Domain Eligibility:

Before initiating the transfer process, ensure that your domain is eligible for transfer. Most domain extensions are transferable, but there are exceptions. Additionally, check if your domain meets the following requirements:

• The domain must be unlocked at the current registrar.
• The domain must not be within 60 days of registration or a previous transfer.
• The domain's WHOIS information must be accurate and up-to-date.
• You must have access to the domain's administrative contact email address.

2. Prepare Your Domain for Transfer:

Before initiating the transfer process, take the following preparatory steps:

• Disable domain privacy or WHOIS protection services, if enabled.
• Obtain the authorization code (also known as EPP code or transfer code) from your current registrar. This code is required to initiate the transfer process.
• Ensure that your domain is unlocked at the current registrar.

3. Initiate the Transfer:

Once you have prepared your domain, follow these steps to initiate the transfer to CraigMillar:

• Log in to your CraigMillar account or create a new account if you haven't already.
• Navigate to the domain transfer section within your account dashboard.
• Enter the domain name you wish to transfer and follow the on-screen instructions.
• You will be prompted to enter the authorization code obtained from your current registrar.
• Review the transfer details and complete the purchase process, if applicable.

4. Verify Transfer Request:

After initiating the transfer, you will receive an email confirmation from CraigMillar with instructions on how to verify the transfer request. Follow the provided instructions to confirm the transfer.

5. Approve Transfer at Current Registrar:

Once the transfer request is verified, CraigMillar will send a transfer request to your current registrar. You may receive an email notification from your current registrar requesting approval for the transfer. Follow the instructions provided by your registrar to approve the transfer.

6. Domain Transfer Completion:

Once the transfer is approved by your current registrar, it may take several days for the transfer to complete. During this time, your domain may experience minimal downtime as it is being transferred to CraigMillar's servers. Once the transfer is complete, you will receive a confirmation email from CraigMillar, and your domain will be fully managed within your CraigMillar account.

7. Verify DNS Settings:

After the transfer is complete, ensure that your domain's DNS settings are configured correctly within your CraigMillar account. You may need to update DNS records to ensure seamless operation of your website and email services.
