My domain rasyid.net is in process for transfer to other registrar. I do it for some reason :

1. Learn how this process work in technical perspective
2. The price, it’s cheaper than my original registrar 🙂
3. Easy to manage, only single place of payment for domain and hosting

In general process to transfer domain involve 3 part :

1. Me, as domain holder

2. Current registrar

3. My new registrar

Steps in details are :

1. I log to my new registrar, ask for transfer domain, they will ask one information from current registrar in my case : Domain Auth Code

Just copy paste that information to provided form ( in my new registrar), this information needed to make sure that I’m as domain holder request for the change.

2. After completing process transfer, I got email from my new registrar to activate process transfer via email, here the email sample :
