another hosting company to SabotSites.com, you may want to consider\u00a0transferring\u00a0your domain name as well. \u00a0This will make it easy for you to pay for your website hosting account and your domain name renewal at one place and time. \u00a0We can do this because Sabot Sites is always willing to prorate your hosting account to\u00a0synchronize\u00a0with your domain name renewal.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Please follow these instructions to ensure that your domain name transfer will NOT fail!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>BEFORE REQUESTING A DOMAIN NAME TRANSFER:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Login to your control panel at your current registrar.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure that the <strong>registrant email address<\/strong> that you have given to \u00a0your current registrar\u00a0is up-to-date. \u00a0Once you start the transfer, your current registrar is going to send an email to this address asking for permission to move the domain to SabotSites.com. \u00a0If the email listed there doesn&#8217;t work, you can&#8217;t respond and the transfer\u00a0WILL\u00a0fail.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure the domain is <strong>not\u00a0locked<\/strong>. \u00a0If it is locked, even if you agree to the transfer, the transfer WILL fail.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure the <strong>privacy protection<\/strong> is turned <strong>off<\/strong>, if it is not, the transfer WILL fail.<\/li>\n<li>Retrieve the <strong>EPP Authorization key<\/strong> from your current registrar.<\/li>\n<li>Go to\u00a0SabotSites.com to <strong>initiate transfer<\/strong>\u00a0of your domain name at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sabotsites.com\/whmcs\/cart.php?a=add&amp;domain=register\">http:\/\/www.sabotsites.com\/whmcs\/cart.php?a=add&amp;domain=register<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>On STEP 3 of the checkout process, paste the EPP Authorization key in the\u00a0<strong>EPP Code box<\/strong>.\n<div><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>PLEASE NOTE:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Domain name transfers are a 5 to 7 day process so\u00a0maker sure the domain name is not within\u00a0<strong>7 days of expiration<\/strong>. \u00a0 If it is and the domain transfer is interrupted by the domain actually expiring,\u00a0the transfer WILL fail. \u00a0In this case, just renew it with your current registrar and do the domain name transfer 60 days after you renew it.<\/li>\n<li>Confirm that the domain name is\u00a0at least\u00a0<strong>60 days old<\/strong>. \u00a0If it is not, the transfer WILL fail.<\/li>\n<li>If your domain name has<strong> already expired<\/strong> with your current registrar, confirm that the domain is no more than 30 days past the expiration date in order to proceed with a domain name transfer. \u00a0If it is,\u00a0just renew it with your current registrar and do the domain name transfer 60 days after you renew it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you
