• Registration or Transfer occurred in the last 60 days
• Evidence of fraud
• Uniform Domain-Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) action
• Court order
• Reasonable dispute over the identity of the person authorizing the transfer
• Unpaid Balances due
• Express written objection from the Domain Name holder
• Lock Status 

NOTE: Hosting service is NOT the equivalent of Domain Name management. 

Hosting MUST be provided by ESQSites, while Domain Names can be managed by ESQSites OR a 3rd party registrar (i.e. GoDaddy to NetworkSolutions, etc.). If you wish for Domain Name management to continue with a 3rd party registrar, you MUST see these IMPORTANT configuration details. 

Please open the What Hosting Servers Do PDF version by clicking the image, this link or on the attached PDF listed below.

 
STEP 1: Please send an email to ESQSites containing the following information to release your Domain Name from our care:
1. Your Domain Name:
2. Your First and Last Name:
3. Your Email Address:
4. Reason for Release:  

Note: ESQSites does NOT automatically cancel your hosting service when you transfer Domain Name management out of ESQSites' care. The hosting plan will remain active and will continue being billed until canceled. Please see Cancelling Your ESQSites Account. 

Please allow 24-72 hours for transfer processing. Please allow up to 10 business days for registrars to process your transfer status.

Again, Hosting MUST be provided by ESQSites allowing our webserver to store your website files and for you to access our programming.

STEP 2: Check your inbox for an email from us containing account information to manage your domain.



Note: Check your SPAM folder if you don't see your registrar's email in the Inbox folder.





STEP 3: Contact your new registrar.
When you're ready, contact your new registrar to begin the transfer process. Be sure to have your authorization code handy, as your new provider will need it to verify the move. If you have made any changes in the registrants information (WHOIS contact Information), DNS Servers, or Hosting Records we recommend you wait at least 24 hours before contacting your new provider; this will allow time for your updates to be recognized.
Once your new provider has initiated the transfer, they will send an email to you (the domain administrative contact) to confirm your domain transfer. The transfer, which may take up to 10 business days, can not move forward without this confirmation! STEP 4: Update your DNS Settings:
IMPORTANT: In order for your website to be visible to internet users, your Domain Name (i.e. “johnsmithlaw.com”) registrar must point your DNS Records to ESQSites' webserver. If your Domain Name is registered through a 3rd party (i.e. GoDaddy to NetworkSolutions, etc.) outside of ESQSites, you MUST see ESQSites' instructions for Configuring Your Domain.

Again, transfers of Domain Name management are possible when monies are in good standing, you have authorized use, the account Domain Names are unlocked, etc. Please see Denied Transfer Conditions.
