In a previous post, I mentioned churches and ministries that are paying $35 a year to register their domain. In most cases, all the registrar does for you is maintain your DNS entry, so that people can find your website. Here at YourChruchWeb.net, you can simplify maintenance of your web-presence by consolidating your domain and your website in one easy-to-manage interface. Plus, you get a free Complete Email Address (25mb) with your domain registration (a $9.99 value).
So, what do you do if you're registered at one of these other registrars? Is there any way out of their high-priced domain services?
Absolutely!
You can
transfer your domain to us for only $9 (.com, .org, or .net TLDs). You'll keep all the time on your existing registration, and we'll add a full year to your registration. You'll get the free Complete Email Address (25mb), and have access to our powerful Domain Control Center™.
Transferring a domain can be confusing, and it varies from registrar to registrar. However, we're ready to help with online tutorials, our automated system, and 24/7 transfer support at 1-480-505-8866.
Before you begin your transfer, you'll want to login at your old registrar. Make sure that your contact information (especially your Administrative Contact email address) is up-to-date. You'll also want to unlock your domain in preparation for transfer. And, you will need to request an "Authorization Code" or "Auth Code." This will often be sent to you by email--hang on to it for later.
Then, you will begin the transfer with our special
online tool. Enter the domain you are transferring, and work through the checkout process. Once you have purchased the transfer, the Administrative Contact of the domain will receive an email containing a Transfer ID and Security Code.
Return to YourChurchWeb.net and login to "My Account." Click on "Pending Domain transfers," in the first column, which will open the Domain Control Center™. Enter your Transfer ID and Security Code. You'll then need to authorize the transfer by entering the "Auth Code" which you retrieved from your former registrar. You may also need to take certain steps at your former registrar in order to confirm the transfer.
It may take up to a week after you've completed those steps, but you'll then receive an email indicating that the transfer was a success and that you can control it directly through your account at YourChurchWeb.net.
Before you start your transfer, you might also want to read our "
Insider's Guide," which will answer many of your questions about domain transfers. Our support personnel are ready to help you at any step along the way--you can use the online support system, or call a transfer concierge at 480-505-8866.
I look forward to serving your ministry with domain, email, and hosting services for many years to come!
Grace and Peace,
