virginiahost.com Domain Registrar Transfer Process
 
 
You've probably been referred to this page because virginiahost.com is in the process of placing a transfer for your domain.  If you like information about why we are transferring Verisign domains, click here.
 
Step 1:  To assist us in transferring your domain, we will need you to reply to two emails in order to complete the transfer for your domain.  The first email will state something very similar to the following:
 

Dear Customer,
You are receiving this notice because you are listed as one of the contacts for the domain name YOURDOMAIN.COM.

We have received a transfer request to move this domain to a different registrar. Please click on the following URL link and let us know if you approve OR disapprove this domain transfer:

PLEASE NOTE: if the link below is broken you will need to copy and paste everything between < > into your browser
<
http://www.transfer-approval.com/universal.asp?id=7BFF7952-5667-4E03-88C0-52D0F41D43F7>

The deadline for responding to this request is: Jun 26, 2002.
Thank you for your time and attention regarding this matter.
If you have any questions please reply to this e-mail.
Sincerely,
virginiahost.com


All that is needed is for you to initiate the transfer is to click the link provided in the email. 

This will open up a web page containing...


I Approve - Please transfer brookepoint.com to a new Registrar, virginiahost.com. I authorize that I am one of the contacts currently listed for this domain name and that I have the authority to approve this transfer. (Your computer's IP, 12.109.56.6, will be recorded as part of your response.)
 


Click the "I Approve" radio button and click the "submit" button.

   

Step 2:  The second, and final email, will come from Verisign a day or two later and look like this..


From: outbound-response@networksolutions.com
Subject: [NIC-020620.6950] Information about your account

IMPORTANT: To complete the transfer process, please "Reply" to this email making sure to COPY/PASTE the line (highlighted in RED in our example above) from within your email to the SUBJECT  line of your reply email.

As you can tell, Verisign does not make it easy to transfer domains away from them as a Registration company.  They try and hide the line that you will have to paste into the subject line in order to confirm the transfer.

You'll know when the domain has migrated to a new registration company from the confirmation email from Verisign stating the transfer has been completed.  An example will look like the following...


Dear Paul Laudenslager:
The Registrar Transfer Request for
:
Domain Name: BROOKEPOINTDANCE.COM
Requesting Registrar: virginiahost.com, Inc.
Current Registrar: Network Solutions, Inc.

has been approved. Though we're sorry to see you go, we've sent the transfer command to the registry as you've requested.


If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate in giving us a call and we will be more than happy to assist you in completing this process.

Thanks in advance for your time and consideration.
