Nowadays, transferring a domain name from one registrar to another is a very simple process. You will be compelled to transfer your valuable domain name because the other registrar is offering you a good price for its renewal with numerous payment options.
You need to make sure that the domain you are transferring is active. You will not be able to transfer domain names which are over 35-45 days from the date of its original expiry date.
Please consult the official documentation of your new registrar for more information regarding the transfer of expired domain names.
You should first make sure that the administrative e-mail for the domain for which you are going to initiate transfer is that of yours and is an active e-mail. Moreover, the domain name should not be locked. If it is locked then unlock and enable the domain before you proceed with the transfer process.
You should also know the domain secret of your domain name, which can be obtained by logging into the domain control panel. If you don’t have access to control panel dashboard then ask the company which registered the domain name for you.
It is not possible to proceed with the transfer process if you don’t have the domain secret code.

I just completed the process of transferring a domain name I had at Bluehost and which points to arivxe nameserver to my website here: motorcycle-motorscooter news. I want seniorsonscooters as a sub-domain of my website at arivxe. I am wondering if it came through correctly. 12/11/14 Thanks, Cary
Hi, please contacted our support department. More details will be needed and support will be able to assist you through e-mail.
Just to clarify, am I also able to transfer domains with endings other than what you sell / provide?
Thanks
Hi, unfortunately that is not possible. Only domains listed on our site can be transferred.
How do I transfer my domain out of Arvixe to new registrar? How come your support is not answering me?
Hello,
I am sorry to hear you wish to leave. To transfer your domain to a new registrar you would need to obtain the transfer authorisation code form our support department and have them unlock your domain for you. Once done, your new registrar will use these details to process the transfer request.
Thanks,
Alex.
