Whenever someone orders a transfer of registrar with Register4Less.com, we always send a confirmation request by email to the current administrative contact for the domain. This confirmation request ensures that the domain transfer is authorized by an authoritative contact for the domain. This is one of the reasons it's critical that you be sure that your administrative email contact is always valid.

Domain transfers are no longer confirmed by an email that used to be sent to the administrative contact for the domain. The reason for this is many registrars now obfuscate the contact details in their Whois records, making it not possible for other registrars to look up the contact details for the domain being transferred.

Please don't wait until your domain is almost expired before starting the transfer. When you transfer a domain, the year's renewal is added to your domain's time, so no time you've paid for is lost. While it is possible to transfer a domain that is expired (but not in the redemption period), you can avoid downtime for your domain's services by completing the transfer before the domain expires.

How do I Confirm a domain transfer?

Domain transfers are no longer confirmed by an email that used to be sent to the administrative contact for the domain. The reason for this is many registrars now obfuscate the contact details in their Whois records, making it not possible for other registrars to look up the contact details for the domain being transferred.
