Moving the name.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER PAYMENT
The transfer is arranged.
How it proceeds depends on where the name is held.
FOR NAMES HELD WITH US
The move is internal and fastest.
The name passes from the seller's account to the buyer's.
FOR NAMES HELD ELSEWHERE
A registrar transfer is required.
That involves unlocking the name, an authorisation code, and the buyer's registrar initiating the transfer.
HOW LONG THAT TAKES
Longer than an internal move. Several days is normal.
WHAT THE SELLER MUST DO
Unlock the domain Provide the authorisation code Not interfere with the transfer once started
WHAT THE BUYER MUST DO
Provide an account to receive it Initiate or approve the transfer as instructed
WHAT DELAYS IT MOST
A party not acting on a notification.
WHAT TO DO
Respond promptly to everything asked of you.
WHEN THE SELLER IS PAID
After the transfer confirms.
