Steps to transfer a .es, .com.es, .nom.es or .org.es domain

Before beginning the transfer process, you have to be sure that you have access to the account of the domain’s administrative contact, as the confirmation request is received in this email account. If you don’t know which email address it is, we recommend you to contact your current registrar to check the email account set on the administrative contact of the domain.

If you don’t have access to the email account, ask your current registrar to change it to one that you do have access to.

To begin the process, access the Domains section and click on "Transfer domain" in the "Domain tools" section, enter the domain to be transferred, click on the Transfer button on the results and access to the shopping cart, and complete your order.

Once the order has been paid for, the system will automatically process the order and the administrative contact e-mail account will receive an e-mail from Nic.es in order to accept or cancel the transfer of your domain.

After accepting the transfer, a few minutes later the domain will appear as “Active” in the client area.

• In case the transfer is not accepted in the 10 days after the transfer request, the transfer will be cancelled automatically.

If you are going to transfer your hosting, you should do a** backup** of the files that make up your website and the databases (if you use it) so you can upload them to our servers. If your website uses databases, you will have to edit the configuration files to point to the new database. Also consider that the e-mail accounts are not transferred, so you will have to create them here, if you don't want to lose your old e-mails, you should download them to your PC with an e-mail program.
