Transfers for .us domain names

General information

.us domain names transfers to UniNames are possible. The transfer itself is free, but is considered as a new registration; therefore a 1-year fee will be charged (or more years on request).

Exactly 1 year after you have transferred your domain name, it will expire. Keep in mind that any remaining registration time at your former agent will be lost.

Procedure

.us transfers can be requested by sending a transfer request through our website.
The current owner of the domain name will have to contact his current registrar to request the authorisation code, which is needed to perform the transfer of the domain name to UniNames.

Additional conditions

Ensure that your domain does not have a lock status (REGISTRAR-LOCK or HOLD). If the domain is locked, then the owner should request his current registrar to unlock it.
Make sure that the email-address of the Admin Contact is active. Normally a period of 3 to 4 days will be granted to approve the transfer request. If not, the transfer request will be cancelled automatically. If the admin contact’s e-mail is not active you should ask your current registrar to correct the admin contact’s e-mail address.
The transfer should be initiated some time before the domain name expires. This to avoid that the transfer request is still being processed when the domain has passed its expiration date. If this happens the owner is responsible for the payment of possible fees that may be charged by the current registrar.
Please ensure that the domain is older than 60 days. Otherwise the transfer request will be declined.

Transfer time

Between 5 and 10 days

Renewal for .us domain names

Renewal

The billing contact of the domain name will automatically receive an invoice to renew the domain name. If the invoice is paid before the domain name expires, the domain name will be renewed.

Note the importance of correct billing information!

If not paid by the end of the month in which the domain name expires.

a grace period of 40 days is started for the domain name.
grace period is followed by a redemption period (30 days)

If the owner or the billing contact asks us to let the domain name expire:

the domain owner will be notified by e-mail
the domain billing contact will be notified by e-mail
the accounts with permissions on the domain name will be notified by e-mail
A grace period of 40 days is started, followed by a redemption period of 30 days and deletion.When a domain name is in grace or redemption period you remain the owner, but the domain name is inactive.

Reactivation

Expired domain names can be reactivated as long as they are in grace or in redemption period.

Expiration date

A .us domain name that has passed his expiration date will be deactivated. This means that all services (website, e-mail...) linked to this domain will stop working.

Grace period

The grace period lasts about 40 days. In this period the domain name is not active and may still be renewed through the current registrar without paying any additional fees.

Redemption period

After the domain name grace period has passed, the domain name will enter the domain name redemption period. During this period, which lasts approximately 30 days, the “whois” information will be deleted. The domain can still be renewed, but an additional fee of 125 USD has to be paid. This process may take several days
