Domain Transfers
Already have a domain name with someone else? Want to use our services? Not
a problem.
Now you can transfer your existing domain name and have it redirected, with free e-mail redirection as well. Your domain can be transferred for only one year at a time at a cost of CAD $15, but we will add that year to any time you have remaining with the other company. (redirection package not included in transfer price)
An example: you own www.yourdomain.com, and it expires in two years. If you transfer your domain to XRoad for a year, it will cost you CAD $15, and your domain will expire in three years.
Other notes: (Please read!)
Domain must be in good standing ie. not expired, not in arrears and paid up. The current registrar will terminate a domain transfer if it is in arrears in any way.
for best results, domain transfer must occur 2 months before domain expires
domain must be transferred 2 months (60 days) AFTER being registered with the other company, or you will be required to wait until 2 months has passed.
you MUST be able to receive e-mail at the address listed in the Administrative Contact section of the domain. Do a WHOIS lookup to confirm. This is for security reasons, and no, there is no way we can change it, or redirect it somehow. Only the domain owner can change it.
you WILL receive an e-mail directed to the e-mail address in the admin section of the domain. Read this e-mail carefully, and follow its instructions. It will contain a temporary link and password for you to use.
Domains being transferred without complete information will be rejected. Fill in all the fields, so they at least match the current domain. You can always change it later, and we make it easy to do.
If the current registrar asks for our primary and secondary nameservers, here they are: mordor.cpol.com and magrathea.cpol.com
make sure you can receive e-mail at the address in the admin section
Domain Transfers can take as long as 10 days
