Transferring Away from Network Solutions

Before you can transfer your domain name registered with Network Solutions to us, you need to prepare your domain name so it will successfully complete the transfer process.

If your domain name is not registered with Network Solutions, visit Transferring Your Domain From Another Registrar for instructions for other registrars.

To Transfer Away From Network Solutions

1. Verify that Your Domain Name is Transferable

To make sure your domain name can be transferred, confirm that:

  • The domain name has been registered for at least 60 days, and has been at Network Solutions for at least 60 days.
  • The domain name's contact information hasn't been changed within 60 days.

Note: Some registrars prevent domain names from transferring away if the contact information associated with a domain was updated within 60 days.

2. Obtain the Authorization Code

Get an authorization code (also known as an EPP code or transfer key) from your current registrar, if required. Some domain name extensions, primarily country-code top-level domain names (ccTLDs), do not require an authorization code.

To obtain the authorization code from Network Solutions

  1. Log on to your account at NetworkSolutions.com.
  2. Click on My Domain Names under the My Products and Services tab.
  3. Click the domain name you want to unlock.
  4. From the Domain Details section, select Request Authorization Code, and then click Save.

Contact Network Solutions support at 888-642-9675 if you haven't received the authorization code after 24 hours.

3. Unlock Your Domain Name

By default, all domains registered with Network Solutions are placed in "Domain Protect" status, which displayed as "Registrar-Lock" at the registry. Before a domain transfer is requested, the lock must be removed and the registry status verified as "Active."

To unlock your domain name

  1. Log on to your account at NetworkSolutions.com.
  2. Click on My Domain Names under the My Products and Services tab.
  3. Click the domain name you want to unlock.
  4. From the Domain Details section, click Edit.
  5. Select Turn Domain Protect Off, and then click Save.

Note: It may take 24 hours before our system identifies and recognizes the status change.
