Changing Domain Registrar

[cacho]

Hi,
Is there a way to change the registrar of a Domain? I have registered my domain through dotnoteasy and I have a lot of problems every time I have to renew the registration.
Thanks

you will need to transfer the domain.
either to other registra, or to bluehost for example.

refer to knowledgebase on initiating the domain transfer

Well, when I tried to renew one of my domains that it's an Addon domain hosted at Bluehost I was told by Bluehost support that I had to renew it with the original registrar.

this mean the domain is not transfer to BH yet.
you can transfer it to bluehost and in future can be renew here.

You can transfer a domain at any time provided that at least 60 days has passed since you last renewed it and you renew it again with the new registrar at the time of the transfer (they credit the remaining time from the old registrar so you don't lose anything).

To make the transfer you need to first unlock the domain at the old registrar and get the domain password.
You then renew the domain with the new registrar supplying the password as proof of ownership.
You should get an email sent to the address recorded on the domain requesting approval for the move. The move then takes place soon after you reply confirming the request or after a longer period of time if you don't reply.

Don't transfer a domain too soon after changing the nameservers as this can result in the two changes conflicting with one another.
