Why transfer your Domain Name?
WE TELL YOU WHY
By CLICKONOLOGY
When you have your Domains registered after you have bought them, does the company you buy them with own them?
Usually not. The company could have the name registered elsewhere at another Internet domain registrar.
So is the easy answer to move it to the company you already have your other Domains registered with?
That depends on how good each one is with communicating. Say company A has terrible service so you want to move it to company B.

First you have to ask company A for the authorization key or code. This key (EPP key) is a security key generated by the current registrar of your Domain Name and verified though global registries for validity. These keys are updated periodically for security reasons and so is valid only for a short time.
So when you give your preferred company B the key, hopefully they don’t come across the dreaded ‘clientTransferProhibited’. Your Domain Name is still locked!
So ask company A to unlock it again. The support agent of company A then contacts the registrar agent of company A who in turn contacts the actual registrar of your Domain Name.
If you are transferring 2 Domain Names, throw in an added complication of being supplied one authorization key for both of them when 2 keys are required!
Also company A is in a different time zone and not operational 24 hours!
Moral: Choose your internet domain registrar and web hosting company wisely.
Moral 2: Don’t change anything days before the Domain Name is due to be renewed
