How do I transfer a Domain to Domains4Less?
To transfer a .nz name you will need your UDAI, which you can obtain from your current host. A UDAI is your access code to manage your Domain. You can then go to our Transfer Domain page and enter the Domain and UDAI to transfer.
For all other names you will need to login register. When you apply to transfer a Domain you will receive an email notification from the current host asking you to authorise or decline the transfer.
How do I transfer a Domain to another host?
For .nz names you will need to generate the UDAI from your Domain management console and use it at your next host to transfer the name to them. For all other names ask the new host what their procedure is to transfer the name to them.
A UDAI is an acronym for Unique Domain Authorisation ID and is your access code for managing your .nz Domain.
How do I cancel a Domain name?

How do I change the ownership of a Domain?
Please download a Change of Registrant form, complete it, and post or fax for processing.
How will I know my Domain is due for renewal?
The billing contact will receive email notification from Domains4Less 60 days prior to your Domain name becoming due for renewal. Email notifications are then sent 30 days, and 15 days before expiration. If the Domain is still not renewed an email will be sent to the registrant ontact associated with the Domain 2 days before expiration.
What happens if I don't renew my name?
For .nz Domains your Domain will be placed on hold for 90 days. During this time you will not be able to use the Domain, but you will be able to renew it. Once the 90 day period is over the name will be made available again for public registration.
What other services will I get with my Domain?
We offer free redirects, and free email forwarding for all your Domains.
Can I host a Domain with Domains4Less but point it to another server?
