This tutorial walks through the process of transferring a domain name from Network Solutions to MyDomain.

1. Login to Network Solutions

   

   Once logged in, click Domains then Manage Domain Names

   
   

2. Edit Domain Details

   

   Under Domain Details for your domain, near the right side, click “Turn Off or Request Authorization Code

   
   

3. Edit Domain Protect

   

   Check BOTH “Leave Domain Protect off” and “Request Authorization Code”, then SAVE near the bottom right corner.

   
   

4. Authorization Code Emailed

   

   Network Solutions will email the authorization code to the email address of the primary account holder.

   
   

5. Login to MyDomain.com

   

   Create a MyDomain.com account if you haven’t already and login. Then click “Transfer Your Domains To Us” near the bottom of the home tab.

   
   

6. Check Transfer Ability

   

   Type the domain name in the text box and click “Check”. This checks to make sure the domain is not protected and is eligible for transfer.

   
   

7. Domain Transfer

   

   If the domain is eligible for transfer you can add it to your cart and proceed to chekout. The transfer is typically not immediate, so check your MyDomain account for status. DNS info should remain in tact, but again its a good idea to check back.

   
   

As a comparison, a 5 year renewal through Network Solutions is $99.95. Through MyDomain, a 5 year renewal is $43.79.
