If you want to transfer your domain name to a new registrar, you will need to do three things in your Name.com account before you begin the transfer.
Open the domain details page in your account:
- Sign in to your Name.com account
- Click on the My Domains link located in the top right corner of the navigation.
- In the list of domains, click on the domain name you want to transfer.
Now that you can view the domain details, you can prepare the domain for transfer:
- Unlock your domain so it can be transferred to a new registrar
- Obtain an authorization code for the domain name, which you will need to provide to your new registrar in order to initiate the transfer.
- Disabling Whois Privacy Some registrars require that you disable Whois privacy for your domain for security reasons. However, many registrars no longer require this. Before doing this, you may want to check with your new registrar to ensure that privacy for your domain should be turned off.
- Copy or export DNS records. You can write them down, copy and paste the values and information, or use our tool to export DNS records to a neat CSV document.
