Domain transfer

When a domain name is being transferred, the registrar of the domain name is being changed. The domain owner stays the same.

The procedure for transferring a domain name is fixed:

#The end user contacts the new registrar and proves its identity.
#The end user orders the new registrar to transfer the domain name to their service.
#The new registrar sets the transfer procedure in motion at the appropriate registry.
#The registry contacts the old registrar and asks it if it approves or rejects the transfer, no reaction within five days counts as approval.
#The old registrar contacts the end user to confirm the authenticity of this request, no reaction is interpreted as a rejection.
#The old registrar approves the transfer at the registry.
#The registry completes the transfer by changing the entry in their database.
#The new registrar will notify the end user of transfer completion

After this process, the new registrar becomes one's designated registrar and all correspondence shall be done with them.
