Transfer notes

• Please ensure, that you have a correct “Authorization Code” associated with the domain, before initiating the transfer, otherwise it will fail.
• Ensure that your respective domain does not have a lock-status (REGISTRAR-LOCK or HOLD). This can be seen in the WHOIS. If the domain is locked, then the owner can demand that this be unlocked.
• Initiate the transfer on time and not just shortly before the domain expires.
• Please ensure that the domain is older than 60 days otherwise the transfer will be denied.
• Please note that if a .CN domain name is registered with a direct accredited CNNIC registrar (Domestic), it can only be transferred to a gateway registrar (Foreign) with a manual procedure. Please contact our support by email and send us the domain name and the respective authorization code.

In case that a domain name is registered with a domestic registrar, the error message of our system will return the message:

545 Object does not exist (<value>SRS Major Code: XXXX</value> |
<value>SRS Minor Code: XXXXXXXX</value> |
<value>--DOMAIN_NOT_FOUND</value> | <value>Domain name: DOMAIN.CN</value>)

Restore Process

HEXONET directly forwards the restore request to the registry, which performs the restore in real-time. As soon as the restore is complete, the domain will get assigned to your account with the original domain data.
