Q. What’s the process if I want to transfer registration to SAGE?
A. To transfer your domain to SAGE, we will first need an “Authorization Key” from your current domain name registrar and make sure your name is unlocked. You can acquire this by giving them a call or using their online form and requesting that information (the exact process varies by registrar, contact your current registrar or see their documentation for more information). After you have obtained the Authorization Key, we will be able to start the migration process. Also be aware that your name can not be up for renewal within 30 days, or transferred within the previous 90 days.
Q. What’s the process if we want to transfer our domain name away from SAGE to another registrar?
A. To transfer your domain name away from SAGE, you will need request an “Authorization Key” from us. We will provide you with the key and "unlock" your domain to allow the transfer. You may use the Authorization Key following their instructions to complete your transfer.
Q. When we move our domain name registration to SAGE, will there be any downtime? What can I expect?
A. When moving any domain to a new registrar, unfortunately some transition time is unavoidable. Usually, the process takes anywhere from 24-48 hours to complete and the new domain settings "propagate" out to the DNS servers across the internet.
