  • Get the EPP Code from 1&1 and then enter that into name.com. Ensure the domain is unlocked.

    Best,

  • so basically i'll lose the rest of the year and i'll have to pay for a renewal.

    Actually, you'll have to pay for transfer, that will keep the domain until it expires next then you continue the yearly payments as usual. I think. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

    This depends TLD name.

    When i transfered one of my domains (a .net) i had to pay the transfer fee (which was almost the same as a whole year) and that got the domain also extended by a year (in addition to the 6 months it still had left at its old registrar).

    So basically you shouldn't loose anything

  • Be sure that:

    • Domain is unlocked and has not been newly registered in the past 60 days.
    • Domain is eligible for transfer from your current registrar.
    • A valid email account is listed for the administrative contact in the WHOIS. (Whether Whois Privacy is enabled or not.)
  • no, i know HOW to do it.. i was just asking about billing :/

  • ok man, then just pay and wait until it's done!

    yes just pay for transfer as you pay for a new domain and wait for 2-3 days for the transfer to complete, while checking your mail for EPP from 1&1 and also transfer confirmation from 1&1. if you fail to confirm you need to wait few more days for the transfer to happen automatically.
