Transfer a domain name OUT from EUK?

[RSVEcosse]

Further to the last thread I started on moving a website from here to another host it has now been decided that the website and domain name in question will be transferred to another webhost completely.

The website itself is a static XHTML based one so there should be no issues there, no database to move or backup so I'll simply give the XHTML files to the person who will be hosting and looking after the new site. The email accounts set up I'm thinking will be fine if they are just left "as is" during the transfer and then the person concerned at the other end can just set them back up again with the new details of their own hosting.

So, can someone furnish me with the details of how I go about transferring the domain to a new person please?. Thanks.

Also, I notice in my Client Area under the info for the domain name in question I have this :-



Do I just unlock it, save the changes and then click on the "Get EPP Code" to start the ball rolling?.

Domain transfer is not automated in our billing system. I would request you to send an email to billing[@]eukhost.com from your registered email address. We'll provide you the EPP code and other details immediately.

Please feel free to post if you have any questions.

Thanks Jack, will do.

What does the process involve after an EPP code is issued?. Could you give me a walkthrough on what happens after that?. Ta.

Once you provide EPP code to your registrar, they have 5 days to respond. They will initiate domain transfer from their end. You just need to wait for their email.

Hi Jack, cool, thanks. So it's quite a straightforward process then?. So I send this EPP code in an email to the guy who is going to take over the domain name, that correct?.

Thats right. You just need to provide them EPP code.

Excellent, thanks again for the info. I'll email billing and get the EPP etc sorted out. Should I just email them direct or raise a support ticket to billing with the question?.

You can just send an email requesting information.

Thanks Jack, for helping out and answering my somewhat obvious questions. First time I have had to transfer a domain OUT from here so having some idea of what is involved is most useful.

Cheers!!!

You are most welcome

Hi again folks,

Ok, I did as requested and asked billing for an EPP key. I have just this minute received this email :-

Hello ***** ********,

Please find the requested EPP/transfer authorization key listed below.

Note: The transfer authorization (or EPP) key is a security key generated by the current registrar and verified through the global registries for validity. These keys are updated periodically for security reasons, thus this key will be valid for an indeterminate period of time.

EPP key: ****************

As this is an automated response to provide an EPP code, please do not reply to this email.

What do I do now folks?. Just email the EPP key to the person I wish to transfer the domain name to?. Then what?.

Many thanks.

Yes, you can email EPP code to the person whom you wish to transfer. His domain registrar will initiate transfer once they get the EPP code.

The EPP Key ( Authorization code ) which you received, must be forwarded to your New provider in order to initiate the transfer request for your domain. Domain transfer ( gTLD domains ) involves 5 to 7 working day's to get the transfer process completed.

[RSVEcosse]

Thanks guys. I have forwarded the EPP code to the person concerned. Can I assume the transfer process has now started and the domain will be out of my hands, so to speak, now?.

Many thanks.

Transfer process start's as soon the new provider initiate's the transfer request for your domain with the registrar panel. For more detail's, you may go through the url provided below ....

I hope that all your doubt's about the process involved in transfer of domain ( gTLD domains ) will sure get clear.

Just a quick reply to thank EUK staff who assisted me in this transfer. Everything went super smoothly and the domain concerned is now gone over to its new owner.

Glad to see it gone to be honest, the person/client concerned who I did the website for was a bit of a nightmare to deal with.

Thanks again, EUK folks.
