Transfers and Name Server Redirection

What You Need To Know About Domain Name Transfers and EONI Hosting of non-EONI-hosted Domains

If you want to host your Web site with EONI -- click here for information on EONI Hosting -- AND you have a domain name that is registered by a party other than EONI, you essentially have two choices:

1. Transfer your domain name to EONI jurisdiction, or ...
2. Request your existing domain registrar to configure your domain name to work with your EONI hosting plan

What You Need to Know About Domain Transfers

If you want to transfer to EONI a domain that you have previously registered elsewhere, you have special responsibilities and actions that will be required by your existing domain registrar before they will allow us to assume control of your domain. EONI does not have control over this part of the process, and cannot guarantee that such transfer can be accomplished in a predetermined span of time.

Reasons that a domain transfer may be rejected

1. The listed email address for the Admin contact is no longer valid.
2. The domain name has been registered or transferred in the last 60 days: ICANN* policy prevents transfers from being conducted in this timeframe.
3. The domain is locked or expired.
4. There is an ongoing dispute related to the name and therefore it has been locked.

In order for Eastern Oregon Net to transfer your domain, the following has to be addressed:

• Domain admin contact email address must be a valid email address. If this is not the case you will need to go to the registrar that currently has the domain and make arrangements with them to change this email address to one that is checked on a regular basis.
• The domain must be at least 60 days old. This means that in order to transfer the domain it must have been registered more than 60 days ago. If this is not the case Eastern Oregon Net Inc. cannot transfer the domain. However we would be happy to submit the transfer once the domain is 60 days old.
• The domain cannot be locked or expired at the current registrar. If the domain is expired you will need to bring it up to date at the current registrar before we can transfer the domain. Also if the domain is locked at the current registrar you must unlock the domain before it can be transferred. This can be done by logging on to manage your domain at your current registrar and unlocking it . Or if you do not have your username and password to manage the domain you will need to contact the current registrar to get that information.
• There can be no pending disputes in regards to the domain name. If that is the case the disputes will have to be resolved before we can attempt to transfer the domain name.

Reconfiguring DNS and Redirecting Your Domain Name

You will need to contact your registrar, the party who maintains administrative technical control over your domain name, if you want them to retain their role, but you wish for browser requests for URLs using that domain name to be automatically directed to the EONI server that hosts your new Web site.

If you do not know whom to contact, you need to run a "whois" search query for your domain name. For example, you could use InterNIC's whois query form -- whois query access is available from thousands of sites on the Internet; this is just one example -- to search for your domain name. The response to your query will identify at least the name of the registrar for your domain name. If a "REGISTRAR LOCK" has not been placed on the domain name (to shield the privacy of the domain holder), you may also be able to directly identify specific contact information for requesting technical assistance.

The registrar for your domain will have assigned addresses for Domain Name Service (DNS) servers that identify primary and secondary address routing for your domain. What you will need to request of your domain's registrar is that they modify these addresses to reflect those of the EONI DNS servers. < click here to see DNS address info >

While this process should be relatively easy and quick to accomplish, keep in mind that EONI has no control over the other registrar's process and that you will still be subject to your registrar's pricing, terms and conditions and other aspects of your domain registration agreement.
