• Transfer your domain registration to ITS
• With whom is my domain currently registered?

If you have an existing web site and would like to have it hosted by ITS, you do not need to transfer the domain registration (though we'd like you to!). Simply sign up for one of our hosting plans and elect to transfer your site to ITS during the ordering process. Transferring your domain registration is a separate process, so if you wish to do both you need to fill out both order forms.

Details & Frequently Asked Questions

What is a domain Registrar?

A Registrar is an organization or company that is accredited by ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) to provide registration services. We provide registration services in partnership with Internet Names WorldWide, a division of Melbourne IT Ltd., and TuCows. The first registrar in the United States was Network Solutions.

What does it cost to transfer registration to ITS?

ITS charges just $28 per year (as of 2025) for most domains, with a one-time $15 transfer fee. A few domains cost more, because each top level (.com, .net) sets their own pricing.

My web site is already hosted with ITS. What does transferring my domain registration do?

If you registered your .com, .net, or .org domain name with Network Solutions (or another registrar) you can transfer that registration to ITS, often paying less, and definitely receiving better service.

This also makes ITS your single point of contact for web hosting questions.

Will my site experience any downtime?

Your web site should experience zero downtime as a result of this transfer. Your web site will not move to a new hosting service, we are just changing which agency registers that name to you.

Will ITS host my web site after this transfer?

This transfer process will not change where your site is hosted. If your site is hosted by another service and you would like ITS to host your site, please also sign up for a hosting plan, and select to transfer your existing domain to us.

There are ___ months remaining until my domain name is up for renewal. Does that carry over?

Remaining time will transfer to the new registar, plus one year is added on. Therefore if you have 6 months left, with our 1-year renewal period you will have 1 year and 6 months until your next renewal (the same date, but one year later). If your domain has 2.5 years left, after transferring the registration to us you will have 3.5 years remaining. To see when your domain is up for renewal, see below.

There are only 15 days remaining until my domain name expires. Is that a problem?

If your domain name expires in less than 15 days, we strongly recommend renewing it with your current registar for only one year, to avoid any downtime or loss of your domain name if there are any delays with the transfer and the domain expires before it is transferred. In this case we suggest renewing for one year, then transferring the registration to ITS afterwards, since up to one year transfers into us (your next renewal would be in three years). To see when your domain is up for renewal, see below.

Can I transfer a newly registered domain name?

By ICANN policy, domain name registrations cannot be transferred within 60 days after the initial registration.

How does the transfer approval process work?

Once your domain is unlocked and ITS receives the transfer code (similar to a password) we initiate the transfer.

The administrative contact of your domain will receive an e-mail notification of the transfer, with the ability to decline it. After 5-6 days the transfer will complete.

The losing registrar has the ability to reject a domain name transfer requests for the following reasons:

• If the transfer request was initiated within the first 60 days of the original registration date
• If there is a legal dispute over the Domain Name
• If there is a pending bankruptcy of the Domain Name holder
• If there is a dispute over the identity of the Domain Name holder
• If the losing Registrar rejects the request (the 'discretion' of the losing Registrar)
• If the registration is the subject of a litigation matter or trademark dispute
• If the Domain Name is "on hold" for any reason

Who is the administrative contact of my domain?
When is my domain registration up for renewal?

Please use this form to view your domain's current registration and contact information. For many domains the information is not public.

Can I change the current contacts for my domain?

If the administrative contact listed for your domain is incorrect, you will need to change this information with your current registrar before initiating the transfer.

Does any information change for my domain registration?

During the transfer the technical contact for the domain will be changed to the new registrar. This is beyond our control, but after the transfer is complete we will be happy to change this to be whomever you wish.

How do I modify my domain registration contact information once the domain is transferred?

ITS will be happy to change this information for you upon request. Please contact technical support for assistance.
