FAQ: Domain transfer
-
Can you do the domain transfer (DNS modification) process when I sign up?
We can do so, however, there will be a $45.00 charge. We recomend you do the DNS changes to the domain yourself, as registrars
usually require a personal password to do such things. Your registrars tech support should help you with that for free. Plus, their domain modification methods are all
different and there is no way for us to know them all. Please check the registrar's website for
more information on how to change your domain's DNS configuration.
If you want us to take care of it, we'll do everything
in our power to help you with it.
-
What must I do to complete the transfer?
Once Lowcountry Hosting sends a transfer request for your domain, you will receive
an email describing the requested domain transaction. This will contain a secret pass key to authorize the transfer. We will need that to get them to release it.
If you will be doing the transfer yourself, then you need to visit the website of the registrar that registered
the domain
and check their domain transfer procedures.
-
What changes will you do/I need to do to my domain record?
A few changes are necessary to complete your domain transfer. First, the DNS entries for your domain will
be changed to point to Lowcountry Hosting's DNS servers.
Primary: NS1.LOWCOUNTRYHOSTING.COM
Secondary: NS2.LOWCOUNTRYHOSTING.COM
-
Who will handle payment for the domain after the transfer?
All renewal fees will be paid by Lowcountry Hosting for as long as you stay hosted with us. This means that we might be required to modify the billing information of your domain. This does NOT apply to non-U.S. domains.
Note: You must request this service when you sign up for an account. At that time we will transfer your domain over to our registrar and pay for the renewal fees.
-
What about transfers of non-U.S. domains (not .com, .net or .org)?
There are hundreds of non-U.S. domain extensions, and because of this, Lowcountry Hosting can't handle the transfers
of foreign domains. The reason is that the transfer process of each foreign domain
organization is usually different, and in different languages too. If you have a foreign domain that
you would like to transfer to our servers, read the domain transfer instructions provided by the registrar
in charge of that non-U.S. domain. Usually, to transfer a domain, the only changes you need to do are to your domain's
DNS entries. Change them to the Lowcountry Hosting's DNS servers mentioned above.
