NOTE: Please read about Marlin's general transfer guidelines here.
You are free to transfer your domain name to another registrar at any time, except during the first five days after your domain was registered. You do not need to involve your old registrar in the transfer process, provided you can supply your new registrar with the UDAI (Unique Domain Authentication ID) for the domain name. If you don't have the UDAI, your old registrar is obliged to make it available to you promptly upon request.
- How do I submit the .nz transfer?
Domain transfer orders are submitted via theMarlin transfer tool, which can be accessed by clicking the Transfer Domain link at the top of the screen, or click here. You will be required to enter an Authorization Key. For more information on Authorization Key's, or for assistance finding your Authorization Key, click here.
NOTE: Your credit card will be billed at the time the domain transfer is submitted. If the domain transfer does not successfully complete or it is cancelled at your request, we will refund the credit card.

Protect your web presence
Have you considered registering your .com, .com.au, .net.au, .co.nz variants of your domain? The deciding factor usually depends on how serious you are about Protecting Your Online Value. Ask yourself whether it would disturb you if a competitor registered these domains? Our easy to use and reliable Web and Email Forwarding services allow you to point as many domains as you want to your website.
Web with benefits:
Another benefit of registering multiple domains is the greater probability of being located on Search Engine listings. An interesting fact is that many Search Engines now feature region specific searches. You can perform a generic search, or you can select the 'Search Australia Only' option.
How the search works is simple; an 'Australian Only' search may prioritise addresses that end in '.au'; a 'New Zealand Only' search may prioritise addresses that end in '.nz'. To guarantee your website is listed and accessed by both regions you will need to have both domain names registered.
In contrast to the above, neither the '.au' nor the '.nz' domains will stand a chance of competing against the '.com', or rather the TLD name space, if someone submits a generic search with no regions specified.
If you currently conduct business in other countries, or one day plan to expand then we recommend securing your country specific domains now. |
