What's In A Domain Name?

Choosing a domain name can be a real exercise in frustration, but it is one of the most important decisions you will make when getting your business online. So how can you get your foot in the proverbial cyber-door? Here are some tips I have personally found helpful in the past.

Transfer Domain Registration

For transfer of domain, you should apply to the gaining registrar, as it is responsible for the operation. It is the duty of the gaining registrar to ensure that the application for transfer by the domain owner is a valid one. The validation usually is in the form of an email sent to the admin contact that requires a reply. In some cases, however, signed faxes are used. Losing registrars these days may resort to 'double-checking.' In this case, they will perform additional security checks if you seek transfer from them. The losing registrars may ask you to reply to an email, or dispatch a notarized letter. After completion of the transfer, a year is always added to the end of the registration period.
