Domain transfer and renewal
There were 11 questions found in this category:
  1. Can I change the renewal period?
    The domain name licence period is fixed at 2 years. This means that when a domain
    name is registered or renewed, it has a fixed expiry date 2 years from the date of registration
    of renewal. For example, if a domain name is registered or renewed on 1 January 2002, the
    expiry date is 1 Jan...


  2. Can I have my domain name renewed automatically?
    Unfortunately at this stage domain names must be renewed manually. Expiry reminder notices are sent from up to 90 days before expiry to the registrant and tech contacts.

  3. Can I transfer an expired .au domain?
    You can renew or transfer a .au domain name up to 14 days after it has expired.

  4. How can I check the status of my transfer?
    The best way to check the status of a transfer is to perform a WHOIS lookup on your domain. This can be done here http://www.enetica.com.au/default.cgi?action=whois .If the status is OK and the registrar hasn't changed: The transfer authorisation email which was sent to the registrant contact h...

  5. How long does a transfer take?
    A .au domain transfer takes 48 hours from the moment we receive the appropriate authorisation email.

  6. I haven't received the authorisation email
    Every .au domain transfer must be authorised in writing by the domain registrant.

If you have not received the authorisation email at the registrant email ...

  7. Is there a fee to transfer a .au domain?
    It is completely free to transfer your .au domain name to Enetica. Please note that this free transfer is not a renewal and will not add registration time onto your domain.

  8. When can I renew my domain?
    Domain names may be renewed a maximum of 90 calendar days before the expiry date.

  9. When I attempt to transfer it says im using the wrong password
    Some registrars use two passwords for their .au domains. One is sometimes referred to as a Registry Key and the other is a domain password (AuthInfo). To transfer a domain name you will need the Domain Password (AuthInfo). Your registrar may have only issued you with one password, however it is some...

  10. Will I lose any registration time if I transfer my domain?
    You can now transfer your domain to Enetica at any time, without losing any of the registration period you already have with another registrar. We will take over the domain licence from your old registrar, and you will also get immediate access to our added services.

    You can therefore tr...


  11. Will the nameservers change after I transfer?
    No. The domain name servers are not changed at any time from what they are before the transfer.  If you wish, you can change the nameservers after the transfer has completed.
