May we kindly ask why you are thinking of transferring away from Doteasy? Was there any problem with the service that I could help to resolve? We value your feedback, and would like to know how we could improve our services.
Also please be advised that if you transfer the domain name to another provider, the account would no longer be eligible to continue to receive the free Doteasy web hosting service. You could, however, choose to opt-in to pay a fee of US$1.95/month (billed annually) to keep the Doteasy hosting service active.
Your domain had been purchased through our promotional sale. Please note that before we unlock your domain within the promotional priced registration term, there is a Domain Transfer Fee of US$20.00 and a form will need to be filled out to allow this.
Your domain name was registered on 25-Oct-10. Please note that before we unlock your domain within 6 months of a registration or renewal, another form will need to be filled out to allow this as well.
First, the domain transfer fee was explained in our "Service Terms & Conditions", which you agreed to, when you registered the domain name with Doteasy.
