Procedure for transferring .DE domain name

Requirements
In order to proceed with a transfer, the current domain name's registrar must approve the request.

Different stages
Once your order has been confirmed, we will send a request for the transfer of your domain name to the registry. The latter will contact current domain name's registrar to request its approval:

• In the event of acceptance within 5 days, the transfer is immediatly carried out.
• In the event of refusal, the transfer is cancelled.
• In the event of failure to reply within 5 days, the transfer is cancelled.

Once the transfer has been finalised, the domain name's expiration date is extended for a one year period starting from the date of the end of transfer. For example, if the domain expires on the 12/31/2010 and if the transfer is carried out on the 09/15/2010, the new expiration date will then be the 09/15/2011.

   Important information

• Deadline for transfer: 2 to 3 days before your domain name's expiration date
• Ideal date for transfer: 1-2 weeks before expiration of your domain name
