||
| This page shows you how to solve domain transfer issues related to **Scaleway Domains and DNS**. | ||
|
|
||
| <Macro id="requirements" /> | ||
|
|
||
| - A Scaleway account logged into the [console](https://console.scaleway.com) | ||
| - [Created](/iam/how-to/create-api-keys/) an API key with sufficient [IAM permissions](/iam/reference-content/permission-sets/) to perform the actions described on this page | ||
| - Registered a domain with Scaleway Domains and DNS | ||
|
|
||
| ## Problem | ||
|
|
||
| You cannot transfer a domain. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Possible causes | ||
|
|
||
| - The top level domains (TLDs) you want to transfer are not supported by Scaleway. For example, Scaleway does not support the `.lat` or `.be` TLDs. | ||
|
|
||
| - Your domain may be expiring soon. Some TLDs prevent a domain from being transferred before it expires. | ||
|
|
||
| - You may have forgotten to initiate the transfer. | ||
|
|
||
| - Your domain may be locked at your former registrar. | ||
|
|
||
| - Your transfer code may be incorrect. | ||
|
|
||
| - Your domain is premium, meaning it is short, usually associated with an actual industry or service, and often uses a TLD such as `.com`, `.net`, or `.org`. | ||
|
|
||
| - The DNS servers associated with the domain you want to transfer may still be pointing to those of the former provider. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Solutions | ||
|
|
||
| - Refer to the [list of TLDs supported by Scaleway](https://www.scaleway.com/en/domains-name/) or manually check that the TLD exists by following the 4 first steps documented in the [How to register an internal domain documentation](/domains-and-dns/how-to/register-internal-domain/). If the TLD you want to transfer is not displayed in the list of available domains, Scaleway does not support it. | ||
|
|
||
| - Renew your domain and try transferring it again. | ||
|
|
||
| - Make sure that you have initiated the transfer at your current registrar. | ||
|
|
||
| - Perform a [WHOIS lookup](https://who.is/) to find out what your domain's [EPP status code](https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/epp-status-codes-2014-06-16-en) is. If you see any of the following statuses in the WHOIS output, contact your registrar for assistance. | ||
|
|
||
| - `clientTransferProhibited`: the current registrar has blocked the transfer. You must enable transfers in your domain settings. | ||
| - `serverTransferProhibited`: the registry is preventing the transfer. Contact your registrar for details. | ||
| - `redemptionPeriod`: the domain has expired and is in a grace period before deletion. During this phase, transfers are not allowed. However, the current owner can restore the domain by paying a redemption fee. | ||
| - `pendingDelete`: the domain is about to be deleted and can no longer be restored. | ||
|
|
||
| For a successful transfer, your domain should have one of these statuses: | ||
| - `active`: the domain is operational and can be transferred. | ||
| - `pendingTransfer`: a transfer is already in progress. | ||
|
|
||
| - Make sure that you have the right transfer code. | ||
|
|
||
| - Scaleway does not support premium domains. | ||
|
|
||
| - Update the DNS servers to those of Scaleway (`ns0.dom.scw.cloud` and `ns1.dom.scw.cloud`). Once the DNS servers are updated, it may take up to 24 to 48 hours for the changes to propagate across the entire network. | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| ## Additional information | ||
|
|
||
| When a domain is transferred to a new registrar, the DNS zone hosted by the previous registrar may be deleted almost immediately. This can cause an interruption in service if DNS records are not set up beforehand. | ||
|
|
||
| To avoid downtime, we recommend the following steps before initiating the transfer: | ||
|
|
||
| 1. [Register your domain as external](/domains-and-dns/how-to/transfer-external-domain/) using Scaleway Domains and DNS. This will allow you to duplicate your existing DNS zone while the domain is still managed by the current registrar. | ||
| 2. Make sure that the duplicated zone is correctly configured and matches the existing records at the current registrar. | ||
| 3. Initiate the domain transfer to Scaleway Domaisn and DNS. Once the transfer is complete, your domain will automatically become an internal domain in Scaleway’s system, ensuring continuity of service. | ||
