Transfer Domain

route53domains_transfer_domain R Documentation

Transfers a domain from another registrar to Amazon Route 53

Description

Transfers a domain from another registrar to Amazon Route 53.

For more information about transferring domains, see the following topics:

During the transfer of any country code top-level domains (ccTLDs) to Route 53, except for .cc and .tv, updates to the owner contact are ignored and the owner contact data from the registry is used. You can update the owner contact after the transfer is complete. For more information, see update_domain_contact.

If the registrar for your domain is also the DNS service provider for the domain, we highly recommend that you transfer your DNS service to Route 53 or to another DNS service provider before you transfer your registration. Some registrars provide free DNS service when you purchase a domain registration. When you transfer the registration, the previous registrar will not renew your domain registration and could end your DNS service at any time.

If the registrar for your domain is also the DNS service provider for the domain and you don't transfer DNS service to another provider, your website, email, and the web applications associated with the domain might become unavailable.

If the transfer is successful, this method returns an operation ID that you can use to track the progress and completion of the action. If the transfer doesn't complete successfully, the domain registrant will be notified by email.

Usage

route53domains_transfer_domain(DomainName, IdnLangCode, DurationInYears,
  Nameservers, AuthCode, AutoRenew, AdminContact, RegistrantContact,
  TechContact, PrivacyProtectAdminContact,
  PrivacyProtectRegistrantContact, PrivacyProtectTechContact,
  BillingContact, PrivacyProtectBillingContact)

Arguments

DomainName

[required] The name of the domain that you want to transfer to Route 53. The top-level domain (TLD), such as .com, must be a TLD that Route 53 supports. For a list of supported TLDs, see Domains that You Can Register with Amazon Route 53 in the Amazon Route 53 Developer Guide.

The domain name can contain only the following characters:

  • Letters a through z. Domain names are not case sensitive.

  • Numbers 0 through 9.

  • Hyphen (-). You can't specify a hyphen at the beginning or end of a label.

  • Period (.) to separate the labels in the name, such as the . in example.com.

IdnLangCode

Reserved for future use.

DurationInYears

[required] The number of years that you want to register the domain for. Domains are registered for a minimum of one year. The maximum period depends on the top-level domain.

Default: 1

Nameservers

Contains details for the host and glue IP addresses.

AuthCode

The authorization code for the domain. You get this value from the current registrar.

AutoRenew

Indicates whether the domain will be automatically renewed (true) or not (false). Auto renewal only takes effect after the account is charged.

Default: true

AdminContact

[required] Provides detailed contact information.

RegistrantContact

[required] Provides detailed contact information.

TechContact

[required] Provides detailed contact information.

PrivacyProtectAdminContact

Whether you want to conceal contact information from WHOIS queries. If you specify true, WHOIS ("who is") queries return contact information for the registrar, the phrase "REDACTED FOR PRIVACY", or "On behalf of \<domain name\> owner.".

While some domains may allow different privacy settings per contact, we recommend specifying the same privacy setting for all contacts.

Default: true

PrivacyProtectRegistrantContact

Whether you want to conceal contact information from WHOIS queries. If you specify true, WHOIS ("who is") queries return contact information either for Amazon Registrar or for our registrar associate, Gandi. If you specify false, WHOIS queries return the information that you entered for the registrant contact (domain owner).

You must specify the same privacy setting for the administrative, billing, registrant, and technical contacts.

Default: true

PrivacyProtectTechContact

Whether you want to conceal contact information from WHOIS queries. If you specify true, WHOIS ("who is") queries return contact information either for Amazon Registrar or for our registrar associate, Gandi. If you specify false, WHOIS queries return the information that you entered for the technical contact.

You must specify the same privacy setting for the administrative, billing, registrant, and technical contacts.

Default: true

BillingContact

Provides detailed contact information.

PrivacyProtectBillingContact

Whether you want to conceal contact information from WHOIS queries. If you specify true, WHOIS ("who is") queries return contact information either for Amazon Registrar or for our registrar associate, Gandi. If you specify false, WHOIS queries return the information that you entered for the billing contact.

You must specify the same privacy setting for the administrative, billing, registrant, and technical contacts.
