How do I transfer my domain to you?

Please keep the following in mind before submitting your transfer to us:

"Domain Lock" must be disabled BEFORE you submit for the transfer. (you must go to your current registrar to find out if this has been enabled on your domain)

You can NOT transfer an expired domain. Abrang.ir is NOT set up for refunds, please make certain you can meet ALL transfer requirements before continuing.

In order to complete your domain name Registrar Transfer, we require approval from the domain's Administrative Contact, this request is sent in an e-mail. If the e-mail address is invalid on the current domain registration information, your transfer will be denied.

Registry services can also Deny a Change Registrar Request if:

Domain is NOT a .com, .net .org, .info, .biz or .us (.info, .biz domains require an auth code) as we only offer those TLD's.

Domain owner can not accept e-mail to his administrative contact record e-mail address. (you may view the current registration information by going to your current registrar and performing a "whois" on your domain)

Domain payment is not current - expired domains can not be transferred.

A domain cannot be transferred within the first 60 days after it has been registered. Transfers within the first 60 days will be automatically declined. However initiating a transfer will cause you to be charged through us.

Domain is involved in a legal dispute, if your domain is the subject of a litigation, involved in a bankruptcy, trademark dispute, or dispute over ownership of registrant your request will be declined.

Domain is locked.

Be advised that the original nameservers are maintained during the transfer.

Please be sure to follow complete directions when you receive the email for approval of the transfer. If you encounter any problems please feel free to email us at
domains@abrang.ir.

**Regarding the Auth code req. for the .info, & .biz domains transfers**

"auth code"
The "auth info" code is created at the time the domain is created. Transfer commands must contain this auth info code to confirm transfer authority. The current Registrar of record will have the auth info code and must provide it to the Registrant. If they do not, the Registrar is in breach of their Registry-Registrar Agreement and the Registrant should contact the appropriate Registry. This information must be obtained from the current registrar.

I need support for my domain registration account!
We want to take care of your issue as fast as possible. Please email your issue directly to domains@Abrang.ir. Currently replies can take up to 48 hours, but we try to answer each and every email we receive within 24 hours if not sooner. We promise we will work with you to solve whatever issue or answer whatever question you might have.

I got my domain name through Abrang Group and I don't know how to access the domain for updates or renewals.
If you got your domain the domain was registered through Register.com. You can contact them by going to mydomain.register.com or emailing partnereu@register.com.

Will any of my account information change when I transfer the domain to Abrang.ir?
Not at all. When you initiate a registrar transfer (domain transfer) your account information (Owner, Admin, Billing and Technical) as well as Nameservers remain the same, to insure that you have no downtime from the transition. Once the transfer is complete you can log in to your account at https://www.onlinenic.com/cgi-bin/english/correct_domain_new.cgi OR https://manage.opensrs.net/ and use the Nameservers section to modify them.

How much, including any hidden fees, will I pay for this domain name?
Our total charge to you is in our price list . This goes for new registrations and domain transfers. Please note, when you transfer a domain to us it is renewed for an additional year.

What is the renewal price next year?
The renewal rate for domains will be announced soon. The renewal rate will be very competitive to the current wholesale market on domains when rates are published.

What do I get with your domain registration?
With Abrang Group, you get a low cost domain registration and the ability to manage single or multiple domains, change all WHOIS contact information and delegate nameservers, in addition to domain locking. We do not provide hosting, email or domain pointing/forwarding with a domain registration.

I'm thinking of registering a misspelling of a popular site's domain name (example: Yahhoo.com, AOLL.com). Is that a good idea?
This will oftentimes bring more traffic to your site, but it is also very possible you will be sued.

What is a DNS?
DNS is short for Domain Name Server. When a domain name is entered into a browser’s address bar, a domain name server takes over and translates the domain to the IP address, telling the computer where the website is can be found.

What is Domain Locking?
Locking a domain means that no changes or transfers can be initiated for that domain until you log in to your account and unlock it.

I'm thinking of registering the ".org" of a well-known .com domain name. Is that a good idea?
This may bring additional traffic to your site, but it is also a good way to ask for a lawsuit.

Can I change registrars after registering a domain name?
Yes. You can change registrars at anytime once your domain has been registered for 60 days.

Can I renew a domain for multiple years?
Yes . You can renew or register a domain for at most 10 years.

I just ordered a domain and its not showing up in WHOIS, what do I do now?
First, check www.register.com. Their WHOIS search will have your domain information if the registration was successful. If it does not show up there, please email us directly at domains@abrang.ir and we will research this for you.

Will my name and contact information be publicly available?
Many sites, called Whois Sites, make this information available to the public.

My domain is about to expire. Can I still transfer it?
Please try to initiate any transfer at least 4-6 weeks before the renewal date if not earlier. Some registrars have put holds on domains that are just approaching their renewal date. Check with your current registrar for their transfer and renewal policies. If you do not initiate your transfer within that time period it is possible that you may lose your domain.

I registered a domain name, but I made a mistake wile registering and registered the wrong name/changed my mind about registering it after paying. Can I cancel my registration?
All our domain sales are final. You will have to place a new order if you wish to purchase a different domain.

What does it mean to "register" a domain name?
When you register a domain name, you are registering for the sole use of that domain for the entire registration period.

Can I register a domain name containing only numbers?
Yes. Your domain name can consist of only letters, numbers, or a combination of the two. You can also use a hyphen (-), but your domain cannot begin or end with a hyphen.

Can anyone register to own a domain name?
Yes. Our domain registration service is available to everyone. You do not need to have a dedicated or virtual server hosted with us to take advantage of this great deal.

Should I register multiple extensions of my domain name?
This decision is entirely up to you. While you may find that the extra cost of additional domain extensions is unnecessary, you may also feel that owning multiple extensions will help visitors find your site.

What is ICANN?
ICANN is the official domain registry of registrars for all domain names. Please see ICANN’s website for more information: http://www.icann.org

What is an IP address?
An IP address is a numeric address allocated to each computer on the Internet. An example of an IP is 192.168.0.1. Many times, domains can be used in place of an IP address, making it much easier to visit a website.

My domain is expired, when will I be able to register it with you?
When a domain is expired, the registrar can first hold on to it for up to 45 days in case you want to renew it. After that time the deletion process is begun. Once deleted, the domain enters a Redemption Period, which lasts 30 days. Once the 30-day period is up, there is a 5 day hold pending final deletion, which happens, at latest, on the 81st day after the domain expired.

How do I choose a good domain name?
Try to choose a domain that is short, easy to remember, and closely reflects the intentions you have for your site.

I tried to transfer my domain to you, but I was told that OpenSRS was unable to parse admin email address, what does that mean?
For some reason, the automatic scripts to initiate this transfer were not able to email your admin contact email address. OpenSRS will be manually emailing you shortly.

When should I renew my domain name?
At this time, Abrang Group does not offer renewals. However, this service will be available as we approach the one-year anniversary of when we first started offering domain registration. More information will be available at that time.

Once I have secured my name, how long may I use it?
Currently, Abrang Group is offering domain registration for one year to ten years increments.
What extension should I choose for my domain?

Dot com domains are by far the most popular, but we also offer .net, .org, .info, .biz, and .us extensions.
.com – used by commercial sites
.net – used by networking companies and internet service providers
.org – used by miscellaneous organizations and groups
.info – used by information sites

I just request that you transfer my domain to your Domain Registration services, but when I try to log in it tells me the account does not exist! What is going on?
You will be unable to log in to your domain management screens until the transfer or registration process is complete. Once that is done you will have full access.

Why should I register a domain name?
Having a domain name allows you to have your very own and unique web presence. A website can be used as a wonderful marketing tool for a company or a great way to share your hobbies and interests on the World Wide Web.

What is a domain Name?
A domain name is an address that tells people where your website can be found. It consists of a word or phrase and an extension such as .com, .net, or .org. Once you have a domain name hosted, visitors will be able to view your site by entering your domain in the address bar of their Internet browser.

What if the domain name I want is already taken?
If this occurs you can either offer to purchase the domain from the current owner or choose an alternative domain.

What is a URL?
URL stands for Universal Resource Locator. It is the unique web address for each site. For instance, our URL is http://www.Abrang.ir.
