If you own a .it domain on Aruba, you’ll be glad to know you can transfer it quickly and easily within Flazio Domains.
As you may have already seen, Flazio Domains is a domain hosting service that lets you manage your .it domains completely independently, at a truly competitive price.
If you want to learn more, I invite you to read our FAQ section.
The procedure to move your .it domain from Aruba to Flazio Domains is easy, requires no special knowledge, and you can do it at any time.
You should know that, unlike gTLD domains, i.e. Generic top-level domains, the .it extension does not follow the rule that prevents transfers in the first 60 days after purchase or migration, and in the 15 days before expiry. This is because the .it domain is a ccTLD, i.e. Country Code top-level domains.
The authority that handles these domains is the NIC (Network Information Center) which in Italy is identified as Registro.it.
To transfer your domain, you’ll need to obtain the transfer code, or Authcode. Some also call it Authinfo or migration code, others authorization code or EPP (Extensible Provisioning Protocol).
The code can be numeric, alphabetic, or alphanumeric, with the addition of special characters.
The code is also case-sensitive, so it’s always best to copy and paste to avoid mixing up letters like a lowercase L with an uppercase I, or having to type special characters from the keyboard.
You can find the code inside your Customer Area on Aruba, so first of all, log in to your Customer Area.
Find the domain you want to transfer and click Control Panel.
From the left menu, go to Domain Utilities, then select Authorization Code and finally Request.
The panel will show a popup on screen with the transfer code. We recommend writing it down so you don’t lose it.
If you wish, you can also send it to the email address of the Aruba account holder. This way you can always keep it under control.
Please note that the transfer procedure involves the deactivation of all services active on the domain with the previous provider, and this also includes any registered email accounts.
For this reason, we strongly recommend making a backup of all email received so far, so you don’t lose your history.
If you don’t know how, I invite you to read our article here.
Now that you have the transfer code, you can use it to migrate the domain within Flazio Domains.
Sign up on our platform, if you haven’t already, or log in directly with your credentials.
In your dashboard, click the New Domain button you’ll find in the Domains section.
Enter the domain name you want to transfer and then click Check. The system will recognize it as taken, but you’ll see a button just above the domain name, labeled Transfer.
Clicking it, the system will ask you to enter the transfer code (Authcode). Paste the Aruba code you copied earlier and click Transfer.
The next step is to enter the personal details of the holder you want to register the domain to.
At the end, click Confirm and complete the payment.
You will have started the domain transfer procedure.
From this moment, Flazio Domains will contact Aruba requesting the release of the domain. It will then inform the NIC of the change and communicate the new domain registration data.
This procedure can take up to 8 days, and it is a fully automated process.
All you have to do is wait for the domain to be activated within Flazio Domains.
