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 .wien 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.

Authorization Codes

  • The format for auth info requires a minimum length of 8 characters and a maximum length of 32 characters. Auth info must contain at least one of the following three character types: Alphabetic character: a-z; A-Z Numeric character: 0-9 Special characters: !;<=$%?&@[()]*^+-,'-{.|/}:~

WHOIS and domain management

  • Renewal settings: Review the renewal mode and account balance for each domain in your account.
