Altering domain contacts
-
I would like to please move my domain to wordpress.org but I cannot change domain contacts to my e-mail address and can therefore not get the e-mail with the code.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I’ll tag this thread for a Staff follow-up. Another Volunteer may be able to help but I’ll tag this thread so it does not fall through the cracks. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

Hi there,
In order to transfer the domain, you will need to cancel private registration, unlock the domain and then receive the authorization code.
To obtain your authorization code you will need to go to your Store -> Domains page and follow the prompts you find there:
1. Look for Domain Administration and change the dropdown menu to “Transfer to Another Registrar”
2. It will state that you may not transfer a domain name for 60 days after its purchase. Click the button “Next Step”
3. Enter a new password, putting it into both blanks (this is a new one you’re making up, so make sure to write it down)
4. Write down your Customer Number which is displayed just below
5. Click the “Save Password” button
6. Click the link for “Manage Your Domains”
7. Log in with your customer number and password that you wrote down in steps 3 & 4 above
8. You will be prompted to create a PIN number
9. You should now be logged in and see a list of your domains. Select your domain.
10. Now, you will need to unlock your domain. Right under Domain Settings you will see ‘Lock’. Click on Manage right underneath ‘On’. Check ‘Off’ and click Save.
11. Toward the bottom of the page you will see ‘Authorization Code’. Please click ‘Email my code’.There are instructions and screenshots here:
Please note that you don’t need to completely transfer the domain to move to WordPress.org. You can keep the domain registered here and just change the nameservers to your new host. But that would mean that you would have to still renew the registration through us and the hosting with your new host.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
