How To Transfer Your Domain From Melbourne IT To Trustname T121x6-10

What immediately becomes obvious on the Melbourne IT platform is its outrageously priced domains.

Like Melbourne IT, we take extra steps to protect our customers privacy beyond basic Whois protection. Unlike them, though, Trustname, you're right again, doesn't charge for this service. Now, what do all these mean for you financially?

You save over $400 per year and $2,000 over five years at the very least when you move from Melbourne IT to Trustname! That money could easily be invested in other productive aspects of your business.

Speaking of privacy, Trustname's Two-Tier Privacy Protection system stands head and shoulders above the competition and leaves other registrars, including Melbourne IT, in the dust. Are we just bragging? See how it works and judge for yourself.

Sometimes registrars like Melbourne IT close domains for no apparent reason. They could've detected some suspicious activity, but in such cases, these registrars often fail to investigate properly or notify the owner. They jump straight to shutting you down.

At Trustname, we understand that certain businesses operate in legally complex or sensitive areas, which may make their domains potential targets for various threats, including attempts to disrupt website operations, domain hijacking, or data breaches that lead to reputational damage through fraud.

Our stance on domain registration is that we provide domain registration services without passing judgment on website content.

For businesses operating in grey areas or those that may be subject to frequent abuse reports, we maintain a neutral position regardless of the number of complaints received, with exceptions only for extreme illegal activities such as child exploitation, weapons trafficking, or illicit drug sales.

Our abuse report handling process is designed to prioritize our customers interests:

While we strive to protect our clients interests, we also comply with all applicable laws and regulations. We encourage all domain owners to ensure their activities are legal in their respective jurisdictions.

There would be no domain registrars without customers. So, it only makes sense that investing in knowledgeable and responsive customer support personnel and tools should be the priority of any registrar. Unfortunately, this isn't the case with Melbourne IT.

At Trustname, it is our goal to ensure you feel valued and well-served at every interaction. Our customer support team is filled with experienced webmasters with practical expertise in domain management, web hosting, and email services.

Their first hand knowledge allows them to offer informed, practical solutions to your domain-related issues.

We understand the importance of timely assistance, which is why we offer real-time support through live chat. If you prefer written communication, we also have a responsive ticketing system.

You're not limited to a single support channel. Trustname also maintains a knowledge base regularly updated with detailed guides if you want a DIY approach.

Nameservers direct internet traffic to your website. They act as a bridge between your domain name and the IP address of the server hosting your website. You can set up custom nameservers or use the default ones Melbourne IT provides.

During the transfer process, you won't be able to modify nameservers or other DNS settings. If your website is currently hosted with Melbourne IT, update your nameservers to point to Trustname before initiating the transfer.

Many domain owners mistakenly believe that transferring a domain automatically moves their website content. Domain registration and web hosting are two distinct services. To move your website to a new host like Trustname, you'll need to purchase a separate hosting plan.

Trustname offers reliable migration services to help you transfer your website files, databases, and email accounts without a hitch.

When transferring your domain, consider the associated costs and potential benefits. Trustname charges a discounted fee of $7.77 (with a promo code) for domain transfers. This fee typically includes a one-year extension to your domain's expiration date.

The transfer fee is a significant savings compared to standard registration costs, like $14.99 for a one-year registration.

The timing of your domain transfer can affect your eligibility and incur additional costs. Most registrars, including Melbourne IT, only allow transfers for active domains. Transfers are usually permitted during the Grace Period immediately following expiration.

If your domain has entered the Redemption Period, you'll need to renew it, often at an additional fee, before initiating a transfer.

If the Auth or EPP code is incorrect, the transfer will fail. To prevent this, copy the code directly from Melbourne IT and paste it into the required field on Trustname, instead of manually typing it. This minimizes the risk of errors.

Domains are subject to a 60 days ICANN transfer lock following any transfer, registrant change, or updates to contact information. Ensure your domain is not within these 60 days before proceeding with the transfer.

If the domain is still locked in Melbourne IT, it cannot be transferred. Double-check the domain settings to ensure the Transfer Lock has been disabled before initiating the transfer.

Melbourne IT sends the authorization code to the email address associated with the domain's registrant, not the account holder's email. A common mistake is checking the wrong email inbox. Make sure you're monitoring the correct email address for the Auth Code.
