How do I transfer an existing domain name?

The transfer process depends on the registrar with whom you registered your domain name. Most registrars request that you log on to their systems and transfer the domain name yourself using the user name and password they assigned you.

Once you have logged on to their site, you will need to change your current nameserver information to Hostway’s information. The transfer process typically takes 48 to 72 hours.

PRIMARY NS:   ns0.au.siteprotect.com
PRIMARY IP:   66.113.136.231
SECONDARY NS:   ns1.au.siteprotect.com
SECONDARY IP:   64.26.0.100

If you do not remember who your registrar is, you can go to www.domainregistry.com, enter your domain name and search for the registrar by clicking on the "Go" button and then "further information" button which will list the Registrar of Record on your domain. Once you have this information, you can contact the registrar directly.

Here are some links to domain manager interfaces for some registrars:

Please contact other registrars directly to ask about their domain transfer procedures. Inform them that you wish to transfer your domain to Hostway, and provide them with the nameserver information listed above.

While waiting for the new nameserver information to propagate around the Internet, we recommend maintaining your site at your current host to avoid down time for your site. During this time, you can use the IP address that we gave you to mirror your web site on Hostway's servers until the transfer is complete.
