Beegamax.com – Domain Transfer Completed
We’ve just finished transferring the domain and hosting from a Singapore provider to a domain provider in Indonesia. The domain was hosted in Yahoo Small Business before. The process is pretty confusing at the start, but after reading from the Help section, contacting Yahoo Support and seeking around Google, I found it is not that difficult to do.
I’d like to share some points to take note if you need to do domain transfer in future:
- Make sure you have access to the domain control panel from your old registrar or domain provider
- Make sure your domain status in “unlock”
- You need to find the “Authorization code” or “domain secret” in control panel. Usually it’s a random characters and numbers
- You need to have access to the “admin email” of your domain, to confirm on domain transfer
If you don’t have one of those points above, it will be pretty hard to transfer across. Thanks to my old provider on sharing this information.
My first domain which is beega.com is not transferable just because I can’t access any of those information. The domain/hosting provider which I registered my domain didn’t want to share this. And the worse thing is they even lock my domain, resulting in beega.com is offline and unavailable to be purchased until now.
Just a suggestion to all of you guys, be careful in choosing a domain/hosting provider because some of them are not honest enough in doing business. So, first thing to ask when you want to register with them is, whether you can have access to all of those 4 points above. Otherwise, you’ll end up with uncured headache even you’ve taken an aspirin.
