What is Easy Transfers?
Easy Transfers is eNom's new transfer process. It allows for greater control and faster process. We have added two very important parts to our site:

Auto-Verification:
This is a paper-less transfer process. All transactions and verifications are done online.
"My Transfers":
This new section of the site allows you to check on your transfer orders and their status.

What TLDs are supported in your transfer process?
So far, only .com, .net, .org, .nu, .tv, and .cc are supported in our transfer process. .info, .biz, and .bz are coming soon.

How do I transfer a name to eNom from another registrar?
There is an electronic process from within your account to perform a Transfer.
You can now either choose the FAX method (you FAX the information to us and we finish the transfer), or the "Auto-Verification" method (paper-less) method which is more convenient and faster.

Transfer instructions

A) Auto-verification (Paper-less) method

Log-in or create a new account and go to "domains" -> "transfers".
Select "Auto-Verification" and click next.
Enter the domain name(s) you wish to transfer (one name per line).
Select the options you wish to associate with these names and click "next".
You can always change these at anytime once the name is in your account.
Each "recommended" option will be selected by default.
- Registrar lock: will protect your name from being transferred away without your approval.
- Auto-renew: will renew your domain name right as it is about to expire.
- Apply WhoIs info: This will automatically apply your WhoIs info to this domain name.
- Password: you can assign a password right away if you want other people to access this domain name.
Review your order. You can re-edit it by clicking on each name. Submit the order by clicking "submit".
Your transfer order has now been submitted.
Check the status of any transfer order periodically under "My Domains".

B) FAX method

Log-in or create a new account and go to "domains" -> "transfers".
Select "FAX" and click next.
Enter the domain name(s) you wish to transfer (one name per line).
Select the options you wish to associate with these names and click "next" (this will take a second or two).
You can always change these at anytime once the name is in your account.
Each "recommended" option will be selected by default.
- Registrar lock: will protect your name from being transferred away without your approval.
- Auto-renew: will renew your domain name right as it is about to expire.
- Apply WhoIs info: This will automatically apply your WhoIs info to this domain name.
- Password: you can assign a password right away if you want other people to access this domain name.
- Fill in the WhoIs information (by default the billing contact information will be used).
Review your order. You can re-edit it by clicking on each name. Submit the order by clicking "submit".
Your transfer order has now been initiated.
Your confirmation page will appear, with a link to display and print the sheet you need to send us.
Click on that link, print this page and FAX it to us (425-883-3553). You can also email a signed scan to transfers@enom.com.
Your transfer order has now been fully submitted.
Check the status of any transfer order periodically under "My Domains".

Do I have to create the transfer electronically, or can I just fax a letter to you?
You must initiate the transfer electronically on our site. In order to provide proper processing of your domains, we need to have the electronic transfer request created. This provides an order number for easy tracking.

Is there a fee for transferring a domain name to eNom?
There is no "Transfer Fee" when transferring a name to eNom. However, you will be charged a one year registration fee, which adds a year to the registration of your domain name. (ex. if your domain name expires on June 2nd 2007, and you transfer your domain name to eNom, you will be charged the regular 1 year registration fee for the TLD, and your domain will now expire June 2nd 2008).

Will I be charged if the transfer fails?
Because eNom doesn't charge a "Transfer fee" when you initiate a transfer, you won't be charged if the transfer fails. You are charged the regular 1 year registration fee once the transfer is successful.

Is there any reason why a transfer would be rejected?
A domain is required to be with the current registrar for 60 days, and cannot have an expired status. These are the two common reasons a transfer would be rejected due to domain status. Each registrar may have it's own policy on waiting periods and should be consulted should a question arise.

Is hosting a name the same thing as transferring a name?
No, hosting means that you are leaving the name with another registrar and only using eNom's DNS services. There is still a charge for this, it is the same charge as registering a new name.

Once I transfer my name to you, does my time of renewal change?
Yes, the transfer simply adds one year to the time you have left on your original registration.

Why don't the e-mail forwarding (or URL forwarding) services appear after a transfer?
After a transfer, the contact information changes, but not the DNS servers. So if you want to use eNom's DNS services, be sure to go to your domain name and change the DNS servers to eNom's servers.

What does the term "Registrar Lock" mean?
This is a feature that prevents your domain name from being transferred from eNom to another registrar. If you are attempting to transfer a name away from eNom, this lock must be removed. How do I add or remove the "Registrar Lock" from my domain?
Log into your account, click "Domain Names" (gold menu item), click "My Domains" (blue menu), click on the domain name you want to modify. This will take you to the Domain Name Control Panel, a page that allows you to edit all settings for this particular domain.
The "Registrar Lock" option is a link named "Set Reg-lock/Auto-Renew Options" at the bottom of the page in the "Utilities" section. Check or uncheck it, press save changes, and you're done.

Is there a charge by eNom if I decide to transfer away to another registrar at a later date?
No, we do not charge you to move away from us.

If I transfer my name to eNom, does the whois information stay the same?
When you create the transfer order, you have the option to retain the existing whois information, or apply new data. The name server information will always remain the same.
