Requesting a domain owner change in the Control Panel

Log in to the Control Panel.

In the domain management, open the Contacts section and click Change Owner.

Click Set another owner.

If the new contact is not yet available, click Add new contact and create a new contact.

Then follow the further steps in the Control Panel.

Depending on the domain extension, confirmation via email or a pre-filled form is required.

Special requirements depending on domain extension

ICANN domains

These include, for example, .com, .net, .org, .info as well as new domain extensions like .shop or .gmbh.

For ICANN domains, the owner change usually must be confirmed via email.

The confirmation is sent to the following contacts:

• previous domain owner
• new domain owner according to contact handle

The change is only completed once both confirmations have been received.

If the email address of the previous owner is not reachable, a pre-filled form is required. This must be signed by both parties.

For companies or organizations, a company stamp and an ID of the signer may also be required.

.at domains

For .at domains, a pre-filled form is automatically provided in the Control Panel.

For companies or organizations, proof of signing authority of the signer is additionally required, e.g., an excerpt from the commercial register or association register.

Other domain extensions

For certain domain extensions, e.g., .hu, .ro, .ru, or .cn, the respective registry may require additional documents.

If additional documents are required, we will inform you by email.
