  3. How .com/.net/.org Domain Name transfers work?

    There are many .com/.net/.org Naming Authorities and in order to transfer to BeepDomains, your Domain Name must be transferred to the Naming Authority that BeepDomains uses. At present, this is achieved by submitting a hard copy form to the Naming Authority which is signed by a representative of the registrant. Very soon this will become automated using email confirmation without the need for any actual hard copy forms.
