Transferring Your Domain Name

Network Solutions

If you signed up for hosting with 123 Cheap Hosting and chose the radio button that says "Please Transfer Me" on the order form, then your domain transfer will be automatically initiated. All you have to do is reply to the email they send you and put an M at 0a and a Y at 1a. 

If you do not receive this email within approximately 24 hours then you should follow these steps:

1. Look up your domain name and make sure you have access to the email address for the Admin contact. If you do not, you will need to contact Network Solutions and request an update. Their phone number is: 800-779-1710.

3.  If you have checked steps 1 & 2 and still don't know why your transfer was not initiated by signing up for hosting, just follow the steps 1-5 below to re-initiate your transfer yourself.
