The purpose of this tutorial is to help you get started when you are transferring your domain from ItsYourDomain.com to FatCat Servers.
There are several things that must take place before you can begin to transfer your domain name.
This tutorial assumes that you already have a domain registered with ItsYourDomain.com, and we are going to start on their home page.
The first thing you must do is make sure the domain name is not locked or it will be prevented from transfer away from ItsYourDomain.com.
- Let's start by entering your ItsYourDomain.com account username and password in the boxes on the log-in screen. Now click on the login button. You are now logged in to your ItsYourDomain.com account.
- Scroll down, and click on the Transfer Shield link in the Services section. This take you to the Transfer Shield page, where you need to scroll down. Answer the security question you have setup for your account, and click on Continue.
- On the new screen, you will click the Edit Transfer Shield link. Scroll down, and select the domain name you wish to unlock by checking the box in front of the domain name.
- The next screen is to change the status of your Transfer Shield. Make sure this setting is "Not Armed" by clicking NO. Then click on Continue. You will now see a screen that will let you know the change has been a success.
The lock has now been removed from the domain name, so it can be transferred to FatCat Servers Web Hosting.
Next you should verify that your Contact Info is correct and up-to-date. The transfer request approval will be emailed to the administrative contact, and must have action for transfer to proceed.
And finally you should obtain the transfer authorization code. It is the authorization code that allows the registries to permit the transfer of your domain name. This code is needed by FatCat Servers to begin the transfer process.
Note: The transfer code may be called by a different name I.E. EPP Code, Key Code, Transfer Key, etc.
When finished, click the log out link, in the lower right hand side menu.
You are now ready to transfer your domain, or contact support to initiate the domain transfer request.
This ends this tutorial. You now know how to unlock your domain at ItsYourDomain.com, so it can be transferred to FatCat Servers Web Hosting.
