Domain Transfers
When you move a domain from one registrar to another, the transfer tracker helps you monitor every step of the process in one place.
Adding a Transfer
- Go to Transfers in the sidebar
- Click Add Transfer
- Enter the domain name and the destination registrar (required). Optionally add the source registrar, an estimated completion date, and any notes
- Click Add
Tidy Names does not initiate the actual registrar transfer - you still do that through your registrar's own interface. The transfer tracker is a record-keeping tool so your team can follow progress.
Transfer Statuses
Update the status as the transfer progresses through these stages:
- Initiated - the transfer has been requested
- Auth Code Sent - the authorisation code has been sent to the gaining registrar
- Pending Approval - waiting for the losing registrar to approve the transfer
- In Progress - the transfer is actively processing
- Completed - the domain has been successfully moved
- Failed - the transfer was rejected or encountered an error
- Cancelled - the transfer was manually cancelled
Dashboard Overview
The transfers page shows four summary cards at the top: Total Transfers, In Progress, Completed, and Failed. The table below lists all transfers with their domain, source and destination registrars, current status, and timestamps.
