5. To Transfer:

A domain name registration transfer is: moving a domain name registration that you currently own from one Registrar to another Registrar.

How to transfer:
First, you will need to contact your current Registrar to have them unlock the domain name and to get the "Authorization Code" (also called the EPP code) from them for the transfer. If needed, please also update your contact information with the current Registrar, so you can approve the transfer request when they email you for confirmation.

Once you have done this, proceed to https://www.virtbiz.com/client/cart.php?a=add&domain=transfer and type in the domain name that you want transferred.

On the transfer page, enter the Authorization Code (also called the EPP Code) you received from the current Registrar.

IMPORTANT:  Without this, you will be unable to request your domain. This is due to ICANN policy.

IMPORTANT: If your domain name is not unlocked, and you do not provide the "auth code" or "EPP code", your domain will not be transferred.

Proceed to the cart and complete the transaction with your payment.
