Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I transfer my domains to Trustname?
At Trustname, we are more than just a domain registrar; we are advocates for privacy and Internet freedom champions. Our mission goes beyond making a profit; it's about safeguarding your online presence and protecting businesses from abuse.
Trustname is committed to providing the highest level of privacy for domain owners, ensuring that your personal information remains secure and confidential. With .com domains starting at just $12.99 per year, Trustname offers the most affordable and transparent pricing in the market, especially with feature-rich bundles.
How do I transfer my domains to Trustname?
To transfer your domains to Trustname, first obtain the Authorization Code (also known as an EPP code) from your current registrar in your domain transfer settings. Then go to the Trustname Domain Transfer page, enter the domain you wish to transfer, and enter the Authorization Code. Follow the instructions to complete the transfer request.
How long does a domain transfer take?
Domain transfers to Trustname typically take five to seven days to complete. The duration depends on how quickly your current registrar processes the transfer request and confirms the release of the domain.
We recommend submitting a ticket or chatting live with your registrar to escalate the transfer and have it completed quicker. Most domains are transfered to Trustrname within 1-2 days with zero downtime meaning your website stays up and running.
What are some domain transfer limitations?
Thanks to ICANN regulations, you'd need to wait for 60 days after registering your domain or transferring it previously, before you transfer it out to Trustname. In addition, you would need to unlock your domain at your current registrar and you must have access to the registered administrative contact email address to approve the transfer.
How do I check the transfer status of my domain?
You can check the status of your domain transfer by logging into your Trustname account dashboard and proceeding to My transfers section where you can view updates and any actions required to complete the transfer process. Once your transfer is complete, your domain will be displayed on the Registered Domains page
Why is my domain locked?
Domains are often locked to prevent unauthorized transfers (domain hijacking). You can unlock your domain through your current sponsoring registrar's control panel or by contacting their support. This must be done before initiating a transfer to Trustname, otherwise the transfer will fail.
Will my website/email be affected by the domain transfer?
Typically, your website and email services should continue to function normally during the transfer if the domain's DNS settings are not changed. However, it's a good idea to check with your current registrar and us to make sure there are no special settings that need to be adjusted before the transfer.
Will I lose my domain if the transfer fails?
No, if a domain transfer fails, your domain will remain with your current registrar. Common reasons why domain transfers fail include incorrect authorization codes, locked domains, or failure to approve the transfer. You can resolve these issues and retry the transfer.
How do I transfer a domain between two Trustname accounts?
To transfer a domain between two Trustname accounts (aka a domain push), you need to initiate an internal transfer by clicking on 'Transfer to another account' under the domain's 'Additional settings' and entering the recipient’s account email at Trustname in your dashboard. This process is much quicker than transferring between different registrars. Once tre transfer is approved by the receiving party, it's processed immediately.
How do I transfer a .UK domain?
To transfer a .UK domain to Trustname, you need to change the domain’s IPS tag to Trustname at your current registrar. Once changed, you can then initiate the transfer from the Trustname control panel by entering the domain name.
