What’s the difference between Shared and Dedicated bandwidth?

With shared unmetered / unlimited bandwidth there is no limit set on your account for the amount of traffic visiting your sites.

It is purchased by the 1Mbps and guarantees the connection speed, no matter what other users are doing, with no charge for the amount of traffic. (Top)

Does Dedicated Server Warehouse support registrar transfers?

The standard transfer fee will be the Base Registration Fee charged per domain name within the respective TLDs. See our Price List for more information. (Top)

What do I get for the transfer fee? Is there an extension of the term of registration for transferred domains?

Dedicated Server Warehouse will process your transfer request with the appropriate registry, if needed, and extend the registration term of the transferred domain name by 1 year from the expiration date of the original registration unless the 1 year extension would bring the total registration term to over 10 years. In such cases, the total registration term with the extension would be limited to 10 years. (Top)

  • The domain name must have been registered for more than 60 days.
  • Authorisation Codes are required for the transfer of .com, .net, .biz, .info and .org domain names to Dedicated Server Warehouse.

The Authorisation Code must be obtained from the current registrar of the domain name you wish to transfer. The registrar may have restrictions as to who may receive the Authorisation Code. (Top)

How long will a domain name transfer take to process?

The amount of time required to authorise a domain name transfer can vary significantly due to variations in the amount of time taken by the current registrant and current registrar to approve transfer requests. However, normally you should receive notification of a successful or unsuccessful transfer within 18 calendar days. (Top)

Can the registrant change the nameserver information during the registrar transfer process?

No. Only upon a successful transfer can the gaining registrant change the nameserver information on the domain name in question. (Top)
