Instructions for transferring
to the @Com system
Moving your domain name into our new @Com
system requires a change of Registrar.
When you submit a transfer request to
move your domain name to @Com Technology,
LLC the registry will add 1 year to the
current expiration of the domain name.
So, for example if your expiration date
is currently May-05-2006 it would become
May-05-2007 after the transfer is completed.
Here are the step-by-step instructions
to transfer your domain name:
1. Click on the "QUICK
Transfers" link located on the left
side of this page.
2. You
will be prompted to login or to create
a new user login. If you already have
domain names in the new @Com system you
can use your existing user name and password.
If you do not have any domain names in
the new @Com system, you will need to
create a new user account.
3. Once
you have logged into your new or existing
account you will need to click on "domain
names" link in the left navigation
menu. You will then need to click the
"transfer" option in the same
menu.
4. You
will then be prompted to select the type
of transfer. This will vary depending
on the extension of the domain name. Additional
help is provided on that page. If you
are transferring a .org, .us, .biz, or
.info domain name, you will need an EPP
authorization code or transfer key, which
you can request below. This information
will be e-mailed to the administrative
contact e-mail address listed for the
domain name.

or Transfer Key required for .org, .us,
.biz, and .info domains
5.
Continue to follow the
screen prompts until the order is submitted.
Once the order is submitted you will be
able to check the status of your request
at any time. You will receive an e-mail
asking you to confirm your intent to transfer
to "Inexpensive Domains" and
you will also receive an e-mail asking
for you to confirm your intent to move
away from Tucows. The
entire process takes about 3 - 7 days,
but can take more or less time depending
on how fast you respond to the confirmation
e-mail. You will
be able to track the progress of your
transfer from you control panel and you
will be e-mailed if the process is successful.
Please note that you domain name will
NOT experience any downtime as a result
of this transfer process.

successfully transferred to the @Com Technology
