Transferring your .EU Domain Name to Another Registrar
There
may be cases where you wish to transfer your domain name away from 1stEuro.Net,
to another Registrar. The following process will assist you in ensuring a smooth Transfer of your
domain name to the Registrar of
your choice.
IMPORTANT
In case of
a .EU domain name Transfer, the domain name Registration gets extended w.r.t. the date
of Transfer (till the second last day of the month, one year from the date
of Transfer) and not w.r.t. the date the domain name was originally set to
expire prior to Transfer.
For example, if a domain name has the Expiry date as
30 Oct, 2009 and it gets Transferred to another Registrar on 2 Sep, 2009, the new Expiry date will be 29 Sep, 2010
and not 30 Oct, 2010. - If
you have placed Registration/Renewal Order for multiple years and you decide
to have the domain name Transferred Away from 1stEuro.Net
to another Registrar, while your domain name is still valid for one or more
years with respect to the Order you had placed initially, you stand to
forfeit the number of years remaining. Also there would be no refund
provided for payment made for this unutilized domain name validity term.
Examples:
I. Multiple Year Registration
a. You choose to register yourdomain.eu for 4 years on
26 Aug, 2009.
b. 1stEuro.Net will set the Expiry date of
yourdomain.eu as 30 Aug, 2013 in our System.
c. Now on 1 Aug, 2010, if you decide to have the domain name
Transferred Away, the new Expiry date after Transfer will be 30 Aug, 2011. The three years unutilized in the
domain name validity
term with respect to the 4 years Registration Order placed initially
by you will not be considered. Also, there would not be any refund
for the payment made by you for the 3 unutilized years.
II. Multiple Year Renewal
a. You choose to renew your-other-domain.eu expiring on
30 Aug, 2009, for 4 years.
b. 1stEuro.Net will set the Expiry date of
your-other-domain.eu as 30 Aug, 2013 in our System.
c. Now on 1 Aug, 2010, if you decide to have the domain name
Transferred Away, the new Expiry date after Transfer will be 30 Aug, 2011. The three years unutilized in the
domain name validity
term with respect to the 4 years Registration Order placed initially
by you will not be considered. Also, there would not be any refund
for the payment made by you for the 3 unutilized years.
Step 1: Check if your domain name can be Transferred

Step 2: Apply for the Transfer at the New Registrar
Once you have determined whether a domain name can be transferred, you will need
to apply for the Transfer at the Registrar of your choice. Please refer to the
New Registrars Transfer Process for the same. They will have certain steps to
verify your identity and then place the Transfer Request on your behalf.
Step 3: Respond to confirmation Mail sent from the Registry
In order to ensure that it is indeed an Authorized Person who has
placed the Transfer request, the Registrant Contact
for the domain name will receive an e-mail from the Registry for the Transfer
Authorization process, which needs to be approved within 14 days. The authorization can also be
provided through a fax to the Registry from the Registrant Contact. The request is processed once the Registry
receives approval from the Registrant.
IMPORTANT
If the Transfer involves change of the
Registrant, both the Current as well as the New Registrant Contact for the domain name will
receive an email from the Registry for the Authorization process, which needs
to be approved within 14 days. The authorization can also be provided through a fax to
the Registry, from both the Current as well as the New Registrant Contact.
If the email address associated with the
Current and the New Registrant Contact is the same, the Registry requires
the Current Registrant to provide approval through a fax. The New
Registrant, however, may respond to the email received from the Registry and
approve the action.
The request is processed once the Registry
receives approval from both the Current and the New Registrant for the change of
Registrant as well as approval from the Current Registrant for the change of
Registrar.
