Learn how to proceed if you want to transfer your domain from your current provider or registrar to Market Genius.

It's as easy as:


Step 1

Check Your E-mail Address
Check with your current provider to find out if your e-mail address is up-to-date. You will get an e-mail from us with the request to consent to the domain transfer.



Step 2

Disable the Domain Lock and Whois Privacy
Disable the domain lock and your Whois Privacy at your current provider. If your provider does not support this feature, you can skip this point.



Step 3

Check the 60 Days Time Limit
Check whether your domain has been registered for at least 60 days with your current provider. If not, your domain may currently not be transferred according to the ICANN rules.



Step 4

Request the Authorization Code
Request your authorization code from your current provider. Some providers require you to cancel your domain in advance before you receive the authorization code.





Please note:

The time period for which the release of your domain applies is limited. Therefore, perform the domain transfer promptly. If the deadline has expired, contact your provider to ensure that your domain is released again.
