Registration Restrictions

Domain Transfer Details

Transfer Procedure

  • The transfer is submitted to the registry and the losing registrar is automatically notified by them.
  • The losing registrar sends an email to the owner (and optionally admin) contact, informing about the transfer; this may include options to approve and/or deny the transfer. If neither explicitly approved nor denied, the transfer will be automatically finalized after 5 days.

Transfer Notes

  • A .design domain transfer must be initiated with a so-called authorisation code, (auth-code) which can be obtained from the current registrar through the owner/admin contact of the domain. Ensure that your respective domain does not have a lock-status (clientTransferProhibited and/or serverTransferProhibited). This can be seen in WHOIS. If the domain has a client-side transfer lock, the owner can ask the current registrar to have the lock removed.
  • These procedures only apply for domain transfers between registrars. For internal transfers between resellers, please consult our documentation about internal transfers/usertransfers.

Authorization Codes

  • The format for auth info requires a minimum length of 16 characters and a maximum length of 48 characters. Additionally, auth info must contain at least two of each of the following three character types: alphabetic characters: a-z; A-Z, numeric characters: 1-9, special characters: -.,:;[]{}_+=@#$^*?!~.

WHOIS and domain management

  • Renewal settings: Review the renewal mode and account balance for each domain in your account.
  • Privacy option: WHOIS privacy is available where registry policy permits it.
