Preparing your Domain to

Getting Started
Before you can transfer a domain:
? Disable domain privacy. If the privacy service forwards incoming
email, check the ʻforward toʼ contact email address for accuracy.
? Verify that the domain is unlocked.
? Confirm your administration email address in the domain registry
records.
? Obtain the domain's transfer authorization code (also referred to as
an EPP or auth code).
Note: Registrar rules vary. Your domain may not be transferable
within 60 to 120 days of registration, a previous transfer, or renewal.
Your account
? Go to: namecat.com

to contact Namecat. Their support number is on their
website.
