Domain Name Extension Specific Caveats 

Note

  • Once a .TEL domain name is Transferred to your account under Demo Registrar, our system automatically assigns a new .TEL Hosting Control Panel and sends the login details to the Registrant Contact. This results in deletion of the .TEL Hosting Control Panel with the Losing (Old) Registrar.

    Hence, before initiating the Transfer of a .TEL domain name to Demo Registrar, you need to create a backup of the data under the .TEL Hosting Control Panel with the old Registrar and download it to your local computer. Once the domain name has been transferred (to Demo Registrar), you can restore the data from within the .TEL Hosting Control Panel provided by Demo Registrar.

  • Upon Transferring-In your .XXX domain name, the system will submit the Registrant's full name and email address as recorded in the Contact database to the .XXX Registry, so that the Registry can contact the Registrant to self-certify as a Member of the adult-community.

Once you have confirmed the above, you can place a Transfer request for your domain name with Demo Registrar.
