Domain transfer:
A domain transfer is, in effect, to transfer domain name from the management under one registrar to another registrar. As a registrar is only responsible for the management of your domain records, this transfer should in no way affect your website, relevant email or DNS.

In order to process the transfer of your domain, you need to have domain already under your ownership. While the process of a domain transfer is a fairly simple procedure, it is important to understand the workings such a domain registration transfer so that things don't get more complicated than you can handle.

In order to put your domain name transfer into effect, you need to apply for a transfer to the registrar that you intend to move your domain over to ie Top Host Kenya. Top Host Kenya have an option that you can select to 'transfer domain'. Once you select this option, Top Host Kenya (that you are transferring your domain to) will have to contact - usually via email - the administrator of your domain.

The contact details of this administrator should have been supplied by you to Top Host Kenya when you registered your domain name and updated accordingly, if that contact has since been changed. Upon receiving the email notification, the administrator of your domain has to agree to accept the transfer. This step generally helps to validate the authenticity of the request for a transfer of domain name. If the administrator does not accept the transfer within a given period of time (within 5 days) then Top Host Kenya will assume that the transfer has been rejected. For this reason, it is important to ensure that all the contact information in your domain records is updated and valid.

If the email has been accepted, on the other hand, then your transfer is effectively in progress. Bear in mind that in order for the transfer of a domain name to be successful, that domain must be active. If, the domain is locked, inactive or in the process of being deleted or redeemed, then this does not meet the criteria for a transfer.

A domain must also have been registered for more than 60 days before you are allowed to transfer registrars. If, however, your domain happens to be involved in a legal dispute or if you are facing bankruptcy then the transfer of a domain name will not take effect.

If successful, the transfer of your domain name generally takes at least ten working days to complete. Top Host Kenya offers free domain transfer service if you agree to register your domain with us for a period of more than a year.
