Transferring domain names away from NameCheap.com


  • We assume that you have a domain name registered through www.NameCheap.com

  • Let’s start from their webpage (www.NameCheap.com)

  • We will now learn how to ‘Transfer your domain name away’ from this registrar and into the domain registry of your choice.

  • Domain name transfers must be initiated at the ‘New registrars Website’, that is the website for the domain registrar where you want your domain name ‘Transferred to’.

  • First of all, you must first ensure that your domain name is ‘Not Locked’ , or being prevented from being transferred out of this registry.

  • Enter your NameCheap.com account ‘Username’ and ‘Password’ in the text box. Then click the ‘Login Now’.

  • You are now logged in to your NameCheap.com account.

  • Click on the ‘View’ link to see a list of domain names in your account.

  • Click on the domain name for which you want to remove the registry lock.

  • Click on the ‘Registrar Lock’ link.

  • In this case, the Registrar Lock status is “Not Locked”, which is what we want if we want to transfer a domain name out of this registry.

  • If the status was “Locked” then we have to click on ‘Release the registrar lock so that the domain can be transferred to some other registrar’ to ‘Release’ the lock.

  • Click on the ‘Save Changes’ button.

  • You are done. The lock has been removed from the domain name, so it can now be transferred to another domain registry.

  • You must now go to the website of the domain name registrar you wish to transfer to, and initiate a ‘Domain transfer request’.

  • When finished, click the ‘Log-out’ link.
