Domains may be transferred to NetFronts directly or to a

move a domain name from another registrar to NetFronts.
The administrative contact information in the domain record must

gaining registrar, NetFronts can only initiate the transfer.
The authorization and completion of the transfer must be
done by the administrative contact and the current registrar.
To transfer to NetFronts directly, make
your request through our website.
Domain resellers may
initiate transfers through a Domain
Reseller Account (sign up required), which
will potentially move a domain name
from another registrar to the resellers’ Domain Reseller
Account. To initiate a transfer from another registrar to
a Domain Reseller account, learn more .
