To transfer a .WS domain name to iTristanmedia

1. In the Order Management section, enter the domain name in the Transfer a domain field, and then click Transfer . 
The Transfers for <domainname>.ws page appears.
2. Complete the Transfer Form.
You can complete the Retrieve Order Information section and clickRetrieve Data to autopopulate the fields.
3. Once the Transfer Form is complete, click Submit.

When the transfer request is submitted, an email is sent to the Admin Email Contact, and they have five days to approve or reject the request. When approving the transfer, they are required to enter their Transfer Authorization Code. The Transfer Authorization Code or 'Authcode' can be obtained from the current registrar for the domain.

If the transfer request is not approved or rejected by the losing registrar within the five day period, the registry automatically approves the transfer request.

When the transfer process is complete, the expiration date is extended one year from the original expiration date, and a charge is applied that is equal to the cost of a one year registration.
