Transferring your domain name

If you are the listed Administrative Contact for your domain, and your email address on your domain record is UP-TO-DATE:

Upon receipt of your request for web hosting or other services for your domain, Acme will initiate a domain name transfer request via e-mail on your behalf.  If you are listed as the Administrative Contact for your domain name, we will generate the necessary DOMAIN MODIFICATION TEMPLATE which you will receive via e-mail.  We will also forward instructions on how to submit the domain modification template to Network Solutions (NSI).

If you are not the listed Administrative Contact for your domain, or if the e-mail contact address on your domain record is OUT-OF-DATE:

Acme will initiate a domain name transfer request via FAX on your behalf.  We will email the domain modification template to NSI to generate a TRACKING NUMBER for your domain transfer request.  We will forward this tracking number to you along with detailed instructions on how to complete your domain name transfer request via fax.

About Network Solutions (NSI) domain transfer procedure:

Fortunately, not just anyone can submit a request to change your domain name record.  There are safeguards in place to assure that only authorized individuals can update your domain name record.

NSI  has an automated system in place that will attempt to verify that any domain modification request submitted to NSI via email has originated from an email address listed on your domain name record.  The default method for updating a domain record is via an email request sent from either the listed Administrative or Technical contact.

If the request cannot be verified by the email address, NSI requires a letter of authorization from the Registrant (the domain name owner listed on your domain record).
