.TR Domain Name Transfer

Internal Transfer is the process of moving a domain name from one METUnic panel to another METUnic panel.

This process, which was previously called Transfer Between Accounts and performed with a form, has been made undocumented / online to make it simpler and more convenient for users.

You can perform the Internal Transfer process, which you can perform in a documentless way, from the “Internal Transfer” menu on the user panel.

You can access the illustrated explanation in our blog guide “METUnic İç Transfer Nasıl Yapılır?” (in Turkish) (opens in a new tab).

The sending account is the name given to the panel where the domain name is currently located. If the receiving account initiated the Internal Transfer, it is the account that makes the decision to approve or reject the Internal Transfer process initiated for the domain name.

The receiving account is the name given to the new panel to which the domain name will be transferred when the Internal Transfer is initiated. If the sending account initiated the Internal Transfer, it is the account that makes the decision to approve or deny the initiated Internal Transfer for the domain name.

In order for the Internal Transfer transaction to be completed, the deciding account must approve the transaction. The email regarding the domain name for which an Internal Transfer transaction has been initiated is sent to both the receiving and sending account.

If no action is taken by the deciding account for the relevant Internal Transfer transaction within five (5) days, the transaction is automatically canceled.

After the online Internal Transfer request is initiated, if approval is given, the transfer is completed within fifteen (15) minutes.

Internal Transfer within METUnic is free of charge.

In order for the Internal Transfer transaction to be completed, the customer panel where the domain name is located will be expected to give approval within five (5) days. Internal Transfer requests that are not approved within this period are automatically canceled.

If you have any problems with the process, you can contact us through the channels on the Help/Support page and get detailed information about the subject.

If you perform an Internal Transfer in the METUnic panel, the services connected to the relevant domain name are also transferred.

Services such as routing, DNS and NS records are moved directly to the receiving account’s panel.

If your domain name is registered with METUnic but not in your account, you can transfer the domain name to your account via Internal Transfer.

For this process, if you are in contact with the METUnic account where the domain name is located, you can complete your transfer request instantly by giving mutual approval.

• If the receiving or sending account whose approval is expected within the scope of Internal Transfer does not respond to the request for five (5) days, the transfer transaction will be canceled automatically.
• If the receiving or sending account whose approval is expected within the scope of the Internal Transfer declines, the transaction will be canceled.
• METUnic reserves the right to intervene in special circumstances.

A registrar-registrar transfer is the process of moving a domain name from another registrar to the METUnic panel or a domain name from the METUnic panel to another registrar.

You can follow the steps below to transfer your domain name from a different registrar to METUnic:

1. The transfer lock must be removed from the registrar where your domain name is located.
2. You need to obtain an “Authorization Code” from the registrar. This code is required for the transfer of your domain name to METUnic.
3. For the domain name you want to transfer to METUnic, click the “Transfer” button on your control panel and type your domain name. Then enter the authorization code in the relevant field.
4. Complete the transfer application by paying the transfer fee.
5. The transfer fee is equivalent to one (1) year’s payment of the domain name and the duration of the domain name is extended by one (1) year when the transfer process is completed.

*For the transfer of a domain name that already has a five (5) year term, one(1) year fee is charged, but a one (1) year extension is not available.

To transfer your domain name to a different registrar, follow these steps:

1. In your control panel, go to “Services → My Domains”.
2. Click the “Info” button to the right of the domain name.
3. In the transfer lock section, select “Unlock the registrar lock so the domain name can be transferred.” to disable the transfer lock.
4. Click the “Show Transfer Authorization Code” box.

To start a transfer, at least 60 days must have passed since the domain name was registered and since it was transferred to its current registrar.

The EPP code is a type of approval code used to ensure security during domain name transfer. You can transfer your domain name securely by receiving this code from your old registrar and forwarding it to your new registrar.

Internal transfers between accounts are completed within 24 hours, and transfers between registrars are completed within 5-7 business days. If you want to speed up the process, you can confirm your transfer request through the registrar where the domain name is registered.
