Transfer Domain Name From One Registrar To Another. The first is to have the seller open an account with your registrar transfer the domain to your registrar and then push it to you. During that period you can only push a domain to another account within the same registrar.
Your registrar will then ask for your confirmation via a secure mechanism which typically will take the form of an email to the registered name holder. A registrar lock may also apply in the following situations. Once approved by the registry the domain name will transfer into your account.
Unlock the domain name with your current registrar.
Wait for the transfer to be complete. Have the new domain owner request a domain transfer. Copy andor record your current DNS records with your current provider. If you happen to renew your domain name with your current registrar and then try and transfer it to the gaining registrar you will lose the year that was added with the renewal of your domain with the current registrar.
