Home » Knowledge Base » Control Panel » Domain Manager » How can I transfer my domain name to a different domain provider?

In this article, we’re going to explain how to transfer domain registration from AwardSpace to a different domain provider.

The steps needed to perform a transfer would depend on your domain extension.

If your domain name happens to have a .com/.net/.org/.info/.biz ending, please follow the Transfer Top-Level Domain instructions. In case you own a .co.uk/.org.uk/.uk domain, please review the Transfer a UK Domain Name paragraph in this article.

 

How to Transfer a Top-Level Domain from AwardSpace to a New Domain Provider?

Transferring a TLD consists of four steps:

Step #1: Placing a transfer order

Log in to the Control Panel supplied by the gaining registrar and place an order for a domain transfer.

 

Step #2: Preparing the transfer

  1. Sign in to your AwardSpace Control Panel.
  2. Visit the Domain Manager section and click on the domain you’ll be transferring away.
  3. Open the Security tab.
  4. Uncheck the Active Domain Lock checkbox and press Request EPP Key.

You will shortly receive an email containing your EPP key (authorization code).

Note: If your domain name has active Domain Privacy Protection, please make sure you disable it.

 

Step #3: Initiating the transfer

Contact your new domain provider and provide them with your domain’s EPP key.

 

Step #4: Approving the transfer

Once a domain transfer has been initiated, you will receive an email with an approval link. Click on the approval link to finalize the transfer process.

 

How to Transfer a UK Domain from AwardSpace to a New Domain Provider?

Listed below are the steps to transfer a .uk, .org.uk and .co.uk domain away:

 

Step #1: Placing a transfer order

First of all, you will need to place a domain transfer order at the new registrar’s website.

 

Step #2: Changing the IPS (Internet Provider Security) tag

The next step involves changing the so-called Internet Provider Security tag. To change the IPS tag of a UK domain, simply contact our dedicated support team and request an IPS tag change.

Information on how to reach our Support department can be found on our Support page.

 

Step #3: Confirming the transfer

The final step after updating the IPS tag is approving the transfer. In order for that to happen, contact the gaining domain provider and inform them of the IPS tag change.
