Transfer an existing domain name
Transferring your existing domain name to us is generally a straight-forward process that does not cause any downtime to your website. We've tried to make this process even easier by giving you some helpful information that will help through it.
.au domain name transfers
Transferring any .au domain name is free, unless the domain name is due to expire within 90 days. If the domain is due to expire within 90 days, the domain name will transfer and renew at the cost of registering the domain name. The additional two years will be added to the existing expiry date.
gTLD's that are less than 60 days old
Any gTLD (such as .com, .net, .org, .info and .biz) that you wish to transfer must be more than 60 days past the registration or most recent renewal date before submitting the transfer application, otherwise the transfer will fail.
Domain passwords or EPP
To be able to transfer your domain name, you will require the domain name password or EPP key (depending on the domain extension). For most domain names, your existing reseller or registrar will provide you with this password, either in their domain management system or by calling them. For any .au domain, you can recover the password through AusRegistry at any time.

Domain name transfer pricing
The cost of transfering your existing domain name will depend on the domain name extension, and how close the domain name is to expiry.

Special offer
When you become a customer of VentraIP, you get access a special coupon that allows you to take $2.00 off any future domain name registrations. How's that for true customer loyalty?
ID protection
When you register a domain name, some of your details such as your name, email address and telephone number, are stored in a WHOIS database that is accessible to anybody on the internet. You can choose to hide this information on certain domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .biz and .info, by purchasing ID Protect for just $6.95 for the life of the domain name.
You can purchase ID Protect in VIPControl once your domain name has been registered.
Things you should note
We kindly ask that you read the not-so-fine print before transferring your domain name to us.
1. All prices shown include GST.
2. All domain purchases are final and cannot be refunded.
3. ID Protect is valid for the life of the domain name as long as it is managed by VentraIP. Transferring the domain to another registrar will automatically cancel the ID Protect service.
