I have sold my domain. How do I transfer it to the new owner?

To begin the transfer process, sign into your account and choose the domain you wish to transfer. Click "Manage Domain", and then "Update Domain Contacts". Underneath the current ownership information is the link to begin the transfer. Please note, only the Administrative Contact has authority to change ownership of a .WS domain.

The new owner will need to have previously created an account through www.website.ws and notified you of their username. You will enter their username as the new Admin, Tech, and Billing contacts for the domain during the transfer. (The contacts MUST be changed for the domain to be transferred onto the new account.)

What happens to the current registration period?

Any current registration period already paid for is automatically forfeited. The new owner will need to complete payment for a new registration period within 10 days of the ownership transfer or the domain will be released back into the pool.
