If you wish to transfer a domain name from your current registrar to our registrar, then you will need to do a couple of things first. First the domain name needs to be unlocked from the current domain registrar. Then you can request "Transfer Authorization" codes from the current registrar. You will then want to supply us with the transfer authorization code and we will go to our domain registrar and initiate the actual transfer process. At this time the "registrant contact" for that particular domain will be sent an approval email to verify the transfer. Once the registrant contact has followed the steps provided in that email to approve the transfer, the transfer will actually begin. From this point it can take from 3-7 business days for your domain name to be actually transferred to our registrar. Please note that a fee of $10.95 will be applied to your account for a domain transfer. As our registrar requires that any domain being transferred to them is renewed for an additional year from it's current expiration date.

Alternately, if you just want to use the domain name with your site hosted on our servers. You could just update the DNS settings for the domain name at the current registrar to reflect our name servers listed below. Once DNS propagates the name server change (approx. 2 - 24 hours), that domain name will resolve to your site hosted on our server. Please note that this option will not incur any fees nor will it actually transfer your domain name from your registrar to our registrar.

The final steps for either process are the same. You will want to make sure that this domain name is mapped in the Helm control panel. Either created as a "Hosted Domain" or as a "Domain Alias". Also you will want to be sure that you have updated your "Portal Alias" table within DNN under the "Site Settings" section of the "Admin" menu.
