How can I get someone to transfer their domain to me?
The owner of the domain has been sitting on it for years and is happy to transfer it to me so that I can develop a website. The only thing is they don't know how, they can't even remember who they got it through. What can be done about this?
@Ebilan: Yes that's right, but how do you suggest getting into the control panel if the person got it through an agent, and / or does not know the username and password for the control panel?
Hi, just get the now owner to contact his Hosting provider and get him to request an Authorization code (EPP code) .COM, .NET, .ORG, .INFO, .BIZ domains all need EPP codes now.
Once he has this he can send it to you and you can then give it to your Hosting provider who will switch the domain to you on you account with them. Below are the steps:
1) The domain name must have a status of ACTIVE or UNLOCKED.
2) You may need an Authorization code (EPP code). An EPP code is a code to pre-authorise the transfer of a domain. You can get your EPP code from your existing host or registrar.
3) Lastly, make sure you or the person who is performing the transfer have access to the email address of the Admin Contact - an email will get sent to the admin contact for approval.
Check the Internic whois record for the domain. That will tell you who it was registered with. From there it can be transferred to you through that companies control panel.
