Inbound Domain Transfers

Additionally to the Authorization Code, the registry requires that the current contact information and name servers of the domain will be submitted with the transfer request. To do so, you have to use the ownercontact0, admincontact0, techcontact0 and billingcontact0 parameters and at least two name servers in the following syntax:

command = TransferDomain
domain = <domain>
auth = <auth>
ownercontact0 = <contact handle>
admincontact0 = <contact handle>
techcontact0 = <contact handle>
billingcontact0 = <contact handle>
nameserver0 = <name server>
nameserver1 = <name server>

Be sure that you've created valid contact handles with the current contact information of the .SG domain you wish to transfer the respective domain. After 7 days, the registry will reject the transfer if the losing registrar did not react.

Several registrars also need a so called AGNT number before they will approve an outgoing transfer, our AGNT number is AGNT-1643.

Outbound Domain Transfers

In order to transfer a domain away you have to remove the transfer lock (epp status clientTransferProhibited). This can only be done if the local presence service is not in use. A few minutes after removing the transfer lock you will receive an UPDATE::SUCCESSFUL message containing the new Authorization Code. At the same time the Authorization Code will be stored as property AUTH of the domain and also a property X-SG-AUTH-EXPIRATIONDATE indicating when the Authorization Code will expire (after 14 days).

Outbound Internal Transfers

If the domain should be transferred to another reseller of HEXONET the domain has also to be unlocked and the same AUTH is required.

Outbound Agent Internal Transfers

If the AGNT number of the new registrar is also AGNT-1643 but is not HEXONET you need to provide a different Authorization Code which is stored in the property X-SG-AGNT-AUTH of the domain.

Expiration of the Authorization Code

Once the Authorization Code has expired (after 14 days) the domain will be automatically locked again and a respective UPDATE::SUCCESSFUL message is created. You can simply unlock the domain again in order to request a new Authorization Code.

Deletion

To delete a .SG domain with immediate effect please contact our support team at [email protected].
