EuroDNS .be renewal

[deadmoon]

Hello,
I've got a few .be's running out in a few days (About 25 days). I just went to renew them on eurodns, and it comes to 18 euros... (per domain)

Is there any cheaper way? Like transfering it? or is it too late now?

You can transfer. It's possible to get 10 euros or less elsewhere.
Just keep in mind that when you transfer a .be it's like a new registration and you lose any time credit left on the domain (here it's just about 3 weeks

I let all my .be expire

 

[deadmoon]

sdsinc - Any reccomandations for other registrars?
Cache - That is good to know... But why reg them if you just let them expire? Waste of time tbh.
And I am not just going to let these expire. I need em

www.ovh.com or www.nucleus.be (although they also charge 17 euro)
you can find a full listing on the site of dns.be, http://www.dns.be/registrars/SearchAlphabetical.htm?lang=en

OVH has cheap prices and it's a large French registrar. User interface is so-so IMO but OK.

Eurodns told me, that I should send fax to transfer .be's

Eurodns told me, that I should send fax to transfer .be's

Fax to be sent to whom? To eurodns asking what?

Also, does ovh accepts paypal?

Also, till how much time before one can transfer .be domain.. i.e if expiry is say 25th dec, how much time do I have to transfer the domain..

 

[diddie]

ovh takes credit card, no paypal, if i remember well the price is 8.9 € per domain

You seem to be one of the few that actually UNDERSTANDS this process.

I have a bunch of these freakin' .BEs that I need to get out of EuroDNS in the next month. Could you PLEASE take a few minutes and post a simple 1,2,3 step by step instruction list on how to do this?

Pretty please? With sugar on top?

Here you go:

Transferring a name from one licensee to another: step by step

1. Agreement
Before taking steps with DNS or your agent, it is important that there should be an agreement between the recipient and transferor. Therefore, it is not the intention to initiate the procedure in a haphazard way, because we always need the agreement of both parties.

2. Choose an agent
If, as the recipient (the person acquiring the domain name) you do not have an agent yet, you should contact an agent from our list of registered agents, unless you want the transfer to be carried out by the current agent.

3. Read the conditions!
The registration of a .be domain name (and therefore name transfer) implies that you expressly accept the general terms and conditions for end-users.
The agent that you have chosen must submit these conditions to you on registration of your domain. If your agent did not submit the conditions to you, then you can consult them here.

4. File the "TRADE-DOMAIN" application
The agent of the recipient must make an electronic TRADE-DOMAIN application to DNS. This can also be the same agent as for the present domain name holder. You will need to provide the following information to the agent: your company name if appropriate + name of contact: name + tel. + address + valid e-mail address !!! A valid e-mail address is extremely important, since it is our direct means of communication with you. It is also important that these are your details, and not those of the agent or another intermediary.

5. Sending out e-mails
When DNS receives the application, if this is correct, 3 e-mails are sent out automatically:
* one to the agent of the recipient to confirm receipt of his application;
* one to the transferor, with a link to a secured web page of confirmation;
* one to the recipient, with a link to a secured web page of confirmation.

The recipient and transferor are both asked to confirm whether they agree to the transfer or not.

6. React to the e-mail
The aim is that both the transferor and the recipient (not the agent, of course)should go the mentioned web page to confirm or reject the trade.

Check again whether the details specified in the application are correct. Notify clearly on the web page whether you agree by clicking YES or NO, and by sending your answer back by clicking on "send".

Various outcomes:

A. We receive a reaction
Only after receiving the response from both parties is the TRADE-DOMAIN processed.
Answer is NO : one of the two parties does not agree to the transfer.
→ TRADE-DOMAIN is cancelled.
Answer is YES : both parties agree.
→ TRADE-DOMAIN is run, on the date mentioned in the transaction or on the day when DNS performs the transaction, if that is a later date.
As soon as the transfer has actually been carried out, the agent of the transferor and the agent of the recipient are informed.

B. No reaction
If no reaction is given by the recipient and/or transferor (e.g. because the e-mail address is incorrect), a week later we send an e-mail to the agent of the recipient to inform him about this. The recipient and transferor are given another week to confirm the transfer by sending a signed fax. Via this fax, DNS must be able to establish/check the identity of the sender. If the fax is OK, the transfer is processed as with an answer from the secured web page of confirmation.

C. Still no answer after a fortnight
If we have still not received an answer after that extra week, the transfer is irrevocably cancelled.
​

7. Update WHOIS
Each hour, trades will be processed. The WHOIS information is then updated and the change of ownership will be effective.

8. Update nameserver
The technical changes will become effective when the DNS name server is updated (5 times a day, at 6h00, 10h00, 13h30, 17h00 and 23h00).

9. Deletion of old data
The agent of the transferor deletes the old data from his nameserver

Cost

The licensee transfer is charged by DNS to the new agent. A licensee transfer is seen as a new registration: the cost is therefore the same and the renewal date changes to the date of the transfer.

It is practically the same process as a .com transfer with the only exception that the renewal date changes to the date of the transfer and is not extended/added like a .com.

By the way the same process is required for .eu names (http://www.eurid.eu/en/general/faq/trades-and-transfers).
