How to transfer your domain name to us

A "Domain Transfer" means to transfer registration of the domain name from one registrar to another. It is NOT the same as transferring hosting or switching hosting from one web host to another.

If a domain is less than 60 days old it cannot be transferred to another registrar.

If there is a Registrar-Lock on your domain at another registrar, you will have to remove the Registrar-Lock before you can transfer it to Mumbai Hosting. To do this, you will have to go to the web site where you bought and registered your domain, and log in with the username and password you received there when you registered your domain. Find their area for domain management and remove the registrar-lock. Contact your domain registrar's support department if you have difficulty with this.

If you have full control over your domain name and it doesn't expire soon, you can just change its DNS settings to the ones mentioned in our welcome email.

However, if you are not in control of your domain name, or your domain name will expire soon, we recommend that you transfer it to our registrar. You can transfer, .com, .net, .org, .name, .info, .biz and .us domains.

There is no transfer fee when transfering a name to Mumbai Hosting. However, you will be charged a one year registration fee which adds a year to the registration of your domain name. (for example, if your domain name expires on January 1st 2006, and you transfer your domain name to Mumbaihosting.com, you will be charged the regular 1 year registration fee for the TLD, and your domain will now expire January 1st 2007).

Here is how to move a domain name to us:

1. Contact our support and ask them to transfer the domain name.

2a. For .com, .net or .org domain names: The person listed in the contact info for your domain will receive an email, asking them to confirm the transfer.

2b. For .info, .biz, .us, and .name all domains you will be asked for the current authorization key for your domain. The authorization key should be easily accessible at your current domain name registrar.

3. The transfer takes up to 5 business days. During the transfer your domain name will be functional.
