Transferring a domain name:

     1. Can I transfer here from another register and get your rates instead?
     2. I still have time left with my old Registrar... 
         When I transfer to 123cheapdomains.com, do I still get
         to keep all my previous registration time? 
     3. How long does it take to transfer here?
     4. What are the requirements for transferring?
     5. How will I know if my transfer is complete?
 

  Can Anyone register a domain name?

     Yes, anyone is able to register for ownership of
     a domain name. It does not matter what country your
     are from.  Anyone can easily register
     their own a (.com, .net, or .org) website address here
     for present, or future use.   
     
  How much does domain registration cost?
    
      Domain registration at 123cheapdomains.com is just
      $13.95 per year. There is no hidden fees for reserving
      a domain name. It is very straight forward.
 
  How long does the domain registration process take?

      Domain registration with 123cheapdomains.com is quick,
      and normally takes about 2 or 3 minutes to complete. 
      Once you have registered and paid for your domain name, 
      and after we have verified your payment, you can now be
      the proud owner of the domain name:
      www.your-sitename.com. 

   After I register a domain name, do I own exclusive rights
   to use my domain name?

      Yes, you own the rights to use the domain name for as long as
      the domain name is registered under your name. However, you
      are responsible for making sure that registering the domain name
      will not interfere with any current laws pertaining to domain names
      and its use. For more detail on the rules and regulations,
      read the "ICANN Domain Name Dispute Policy" and our
      "Registration Agreement."
      
      Is registering a domain name here the same as
      registering it at NSI (Network Solutions)?

     Yes, you basically get the exact same product, but at a much
     lower price. Rather than paying $35/yr for domain registrations
     and renewals,  wouldn't it be much nicer to just pay the lower
     $13.95 instead and for the exact same thing?

      How do I know if a domain registration completed
      successfully?

      Check your domain status using WHOIS Lookup. The
      WHOIS search looks up the record in worldwide
      Internic domain registration database.

      How do I change my domain information?

       You can quickly update any contact or DNS information
       related to your domain name by using Domain Manager. 

     How do I add more renewal years after my registration?

       You can renew now even way before your domain name expires.
       Adding extra registration time simply by login to Domain Manager. 
       While inside your Domain Manager,  you can easily add up to
       a maximum of 10 years. Please note:  the current worldwide
       Internic domain name database will only store 10 years max
       in its record at any given instant. This means that you will not
       get credit for anything that exceeds 10 years.  So if you 
       currently have 2 years left, please don't register anymore
       than 8 extra years for a grand total of 10. 
 
      Can I transfer here from another domain Registrar 
      and renew at your rates instead?

      Yes, regardless of where you originally registered your
      domain name,  you can renew it at 123cheapdomains.com
      for just $13.95 per year, rather than renewing it at $35
      at your old Registrar. All you have to do is to use our
      Transfer Tool, and make a simple transfer request.
      You will be required to answer a simple confirmation 
      email sent to the "admin contact" listed on your domains
      contact info. This ensures that you are indeed the owner 
      of the domain name. After that, you gain the choice to 
      enjoy our renewal rates.

      transfer here now.

      I still have domain registration time left with my
      previous Registrar. Do I get to keep all my remaining
      registration time when I transfer to 123cheapdomains.com?

      Yes, you get to keep all remaining registration time that you
      currently still have with your previous Registrar when you transfer 
      over here. You will not lose any existing registration time.  Instead
      we will add 1 extra year of renewal time upon your transfer here.
      So if you currently still have 2 years left with your previous 
      Registrar, and you transfer here with a 1 years renewal,  you 
      will have a total of 3 years left before your domain expires. 
      You always get the full time with 123cheapdomains.com!
      You can verify your domain's expiration date by 
      using WHOIS Lookup. Take a look! 

      How long does it take to transfer and renew here?

      The transfer process is not an instant process. 
      It requires an average of 8-10 days to complete if done 
      correctly.  Thus, it is very important for you to renew as early
      as possible, or you risk losing your chance to transfer
      and renew you domain here. We can not transfer and
      renew domain names that are about to expire within
      10 days or less.  

     Directions:
     1.   Make a transfer request for you domain 

     2.   Approve the transfer confirmation email
           sent by us to your domain's admin contact email. 
           You can look up which email is listed as your
           admin contact by using WHOIS Lookup.

     3.   After you approved our transfer confirmation email, 
           wait 2-3 days, look for a second email to confirm.
           This second email will be sent from your previous domain 
           registration company to verify that you wanted to
           transfer away from them. It is very important that
           you look for and approve this email within 3 days, 
           or your previous domain registration company 
           will cancel your transfer request. Once you approve
           this email, you domain name will soon be released
           to 123cheapdomains.com for automatic renewal of 1 year.
           If you want to renew for more than 1 year,  you can
           login to Domain Manager and add more renewal time
           after you are here.  

     4.   IMPORTANT:  If you do not complete steps
           #2 and #3  (approve both emails), the domain transfer
           can not be completed, and will be canceled. If your
           domain name transfer/renewal is canceled, you will 
           be issues a refund automatically to your card.
           We do not charge for failed transfers.

    5.    Verify that 1 renew year has been added by 
           checking your WHOIS record. If your transfer / renewal
           was successful, you should see 1 additional year
           added to the expiration date of your domain's whois
           record.  In addition, you should also see 
           123cheapdomains.com listed as the new 
           "technical contact."  The technical contact listed
            does not affect any part of the domain name, it is
            there to serve as a "marking" so you can easily tell
            by looking at your new whois record that you 
            are with 123cheapdomains.com. 
      
     What are the requirements for transferring away from
         Network Solutions to 123cheapdomains.com for renewal?
.  
         You Can Not Transfer A Domain If :

    1.   The domain has already been (registered or transferred)
          less than 60 days ago with another registration company. 
    2.   Your previous registrar has the name locked for either 
          non-payment, or at your request.
    3.   The domain has already passed its expiration date
          or is about to expire within 10 days. 
    4.   You do not have access to the registered Admin Contact E-mail
           for your domain, or the person listed on your domain's
          Admin Contact email doesn't approve the transfer within 5 days
          after initial transfer request. 

        Note: You can lookup which email address is on your
        "Admin Contact"  and view the domain's expiration date 
        by using Whois Search! Click Here to Check!

       How will I know if my transfer / renewal is complete?

        Simply do a whois lookup on your domain to see the new record.
        You should see 1 addional year added to your expiration date,
        and see 123cheapdomains.com listed as the "technical contact."
        Another way you can tell is by trying to log into Domain Manager
        under your transfer domain name profile.  If you can 
        log in, then it means you're already using us as your new
        domain registration company. 

        Note: It is your responsibility to check your domain's record
        and to make sure the transfer / renewal is completed. You 
        can do this by using "Whois Lookup."  Also most domain
        companies will give you a 30 day grace period after the domain
        name has expired to renew domains before finally deleting it
        from the database if not renewed.
