How do I know when I can transfer my domain registrar to Netfirms?

Please refer to the Registrar Transfers guidelines below:
  1. At this time only .com, .net, .org, and .ca domains can be transfered to Netfirms registrar
ICANN Domains (.com, .net, org, .asia)
  1. Only domains that are not on REGISTRAR-HOLD, REGISTRAR-LOCK, SUPSENDED, SUPSD, or EXPIRED status may be transfered to Netfirms registrar
  2. Your administrative contact should point to your current e-mail address
  3. Your .com or .net or .org domain must have been registered for at least 60 days
  4. Your .com or .net or org domain was registered or transfered within the last 60 days (ICANN regulations prohibit transferring a domain name that has been registered or previously transferred within the last 60 days.)
CIRA Domains (.ca)
  1. Your .ca domain must have been active (registered) for at least 30 days
  2. Your .ca domain must not be within 30 days of expiry
.co.uk Domains
  1. Obtain the IPS tag ID from your current registrar
  2. Email our Support Team your IPS tag and request to registrar transfer to Netfirms
IMPORTANT: Your domain registrar transfer may fail if:

  • you are trying to transfer a Top Level Domain that we do not yet support (Domain Registar transfer is currently supported for .com, .net, .org, and .ca domains)
  • your domain is registered with us already
  • your domain is not registered yet
  • your .com or .net or .org domain is locked
  • your .com or .net or org domain was registered or transfered within the last 60 days (ICANN regulations prohibit transferring a domain name that has been registered or previously transferred within the last 60 days.)
  • your .ca is in suspended status (eg. within 30 days)� your .ca domain has been registered less than 30 days with current registrar
  • you failed to confirm the Registrar transfer request by following the instructions within the confirmation e-mail sent to your Administrative contact e-mail address after initiating the registrar transfer with Netfirms
