Domain Transfer

Is your domain about to expire? Having problems with your current domain provider? Worried that something will go wrong during the domain transfer? The article below MONA Media will show you how to transfer your domain to MONA easily, in 4 simple steps.

What is a domain transfer?

A domain transfer is the process of moving your domain from one domain provider to another. It usually happens when the domain owner decides to switch domain registration services from one registrar to another.

A 4-step guide to transferring your domain to MONA

Changing domain providers applies to both domains Vietnamese and international domains. Here are 4 simple steps to transfer your domain to MONA Media:

Check the domain's status

To transfer a domain to another provider, first make sure your domain has been active for more than 8 days. You can visit the following address: https://who.is. to check the status and details of your current domain. On the line Expires On you can see the domain's expiry date.

Then contact your current domain registrar to unlock the “UnClock ” on the domain and get the domain code EEP (Authorization Code) to carry out the transfer.

Enter the domain you want to transfer and pay at MONA

You can contact MONA Media or visit: mona.host/dang-ky-ten-mien to provide the details needed to transfer your domain to MONA. You will need to give us the EPP code. Then you proceed to payment.

Domain transfer check

We will check whether your domain meets the conditions. If your domain is eligible for transfer, the process will be completed within 1 – 5 days.

Email confirmation when the domain transfer is complete

The domain transfer may require email confirmation to keep the transaction safe and accurate. Once the transfer is complete, the system usually sends a confirmation email to the address you registered in the domain management details.

Conditions for transferring a domain

When transferring your domain to MONA, keep the following conditions in mind so the process goes smoothly and easily:

• A domain can only be transferred 60 days after registration.
• For Vietnamese domains: more than 30 days must remain before expiry.
• For international domains, more than 30 days must remain before expiry. If you have just renewed, you will need to wait 45 days. Under ICANN rules, the 1-year renewal at your old provider will not be kept if you transfer the domain right after renewing without waiting 45 days.
• For international domains, if you change the domain owner's details or the owner's email, you need to wait 60 days before you can transfer the domain.
• A domain transferred to MONA needs a 1-year renewal. We always have special offers when you transfer your domain to MONA.

Things to note when transferring a domain

Domain transfers are usually quick and efficient, but before starting the transfer, it is important to note the following points:

Remaining domain term

Before deciding to switch domain providers, check how much time is left on your domain. Note that this term will not change after the domain transfer.

Although the remaining term is kept, when switching providers you will usually need to buy at least 1 more year of domain use. So waiting until close to the end of the paid term before transferring can save you money and extend your domain's term.

Domain transfer costs

One important thing to consider when deciding to switch domain providers is the cost of the transfer. Usually the domain provider is responsible for carrying out the transfer and its related costs when you transfer your domain.

When the domain transfer succeeds

If you want to switch domain providers right after a new registration with your current provider, note that you must wait at least 60 days after the new registration before you can transfer.

Check your domain registration email carefully

When changing domain providers, checking your domain registration email is important to follow the transfer. Once the transfer is complete, check your inbox to verify the information and continue managing your domain conveniently.

Frequently asked questions

1. How do I know whether a domain has already been registered?

To find out whether a domain has been registered, go to MONA and enter the domain you want to check. MONA's domain checker suggests related domains so you can easily choose the most suitable one.

If the domain is already registered, the system shows the owner's details and related information. If it isn't registered, the system won't show owner details and may show the domain price and suggestions for other extensions you can choose.

2. How long will my domain term be when I transfer my domain?

When you transfer a domain from another registrar to MONA, your domain's term does not change. It is still counted from your original registration date.

A domain transfer only moves ownership and management of the domain between registrars; it does not affect the domain's current term. So you don't have to worry about losing time from your current term when you decide to transfer your domain.

Note, however, that to renew the domain after the transfer you must pay a renewal fee for one more year. This is usually done during the transfer and shown when you confirm the transaction.

3. How much will I be charged when I transfer my domain to MONA Media?

There is no charge for transferring your domain to MONA. But you need to renew the domain at MONA for 1 year to use MONA's domain service.

If you have any questions, you can contact 1900 636 648 or visit the address for advice and support.

4. How often do I need to renew my domain?

Domain terms at MONA range from 1 to 10 years. Although you can choose the registration term flexibly, most users prefer to register a domain for 01 year and then renew it every year.

The renewal window usually starts before the domain's expiry date and extends after it, typically from 0 to 70 days. Beyond 70 days, the user may lose the right to use the domain. Once the domain expires, the system temporarily locks the DNS and redirects the website to the default page set by the domain provider.
