Transfer a Domain Name

Domains in the .au name space need to be transferred no less than 10 days before the end of the current regsitration period.

Transfers of these domains are free of charge, and when the renewal dates arrived, your domain will be renewed at the standard Asporea Hosting published rate.

Here are the steps you follow to transfer your Australian domains.

Step 1 – Update your DNS

Step 2 – Check your email address

Step 3 – Complete the Transfer form

Click the button below to start the transfer process.  After submitting the form, you will be asked permission to transfer the domain.  You must acknowledge the transfer by clicking the link in the email, before the transfer will commence.

How long does transfer take?

In the case of .au domains, it can take up to 48 hours for the domain to complete transfer.

We will let you know when the process has been successful, or what to do if your domain transfer was unsuccessful.

Introduction

1. International domains must be transferred longer than 7 days before renewal. If you have less than this amount of time you must renew first with your current registrar.
2. Once the transfer commences you won’t be able to make any changes to your domain name for at least seven days.
3. The cost of transfer is equivalent to the renewal fee of the domain – and this fee will extend your domain for an additional 12 months.
4. You must complete payment successfully to start the transfer process.

Step 1- Prepare your domain for transfer

This step is done at your current registrar, not Asporea Hosting.

Switch off the registrar lock setting on your domain, that prevents your domain from being hijacked.

Obtain your domain transfer password – this may appear as the domain AUTH CODE, AUTH INFO or EPP.  You can normally see this or request it where you manage your domain.

Each domain you transfer will have a unique domain transfer password, and you will need this code to initiate the transfer to Asporea Hosting. 

Step 2 – Update your DNS

This optional step is done at Asporea Hosting

Step 3 – Check your email address

Step 4 – Complete the Transfer form

Click the button below to start the transfer process. During this process you will need to enter the domain name and domain password (Auth Code/Auth Info/EPP Code)

Step 5 – Complete Payment

You will need to complete payment before the transfer is initiated.

After payment, an email will be sent to the domain registrant, informing them of the transfer. Some domains will not require any intervention. It’s best to check the email for instructions on what to do next.
