Good to know when registering

Transfer
Transferring a .机构
- After your transfer request, the registrant or the administrative contact listed in the WHOIS receives a confirmation email. The transfer can only start once you confirm it.
- A transfer may only begin after the current registrant has confirmed the ICANN authorisation form.
- After confirmation, the transfer starts through the registry and your current registrar receives the request.
- Your current registrar also sends the registrant or administrative contact an email that lets you reject the transfer. If you don't respond, the transfer is completed after 5 days.
- If the email address in the WHOIS is incorrect, the transfer can't go ahead. In that case, first ask your current registrar to update the WHOIS details.
- The domain mustn't have a lock or block on it; you can see this in the WHOIS. As the registrant, you can ask your current registrar to remove the lock.
- After a successful transfer, the registry locks the domain again for 60 days against further transfers.
The transfer code
- You need a transfer code for a transfer. The registrant or administrative contact requests it from the current registrar.
- The code is 8 to 32 characters long and contains at least one letter, one number and one special character.
Owner
Change of registrant
- ICANN's transfer rules apply to a change of registrant.
