Transferring Domain Names in Bulk

Note

As per ICANN's new domain transfer guidelines, effective 25th May 2018, all domain transfers will not require Form of Approval (FoA). The Transfer Authorization process will not require the Registrant Contact's approval via e-mail.

Using the Bulk Transfer interface in your Control Panel, you may place a transfer request for multiple domain names simultaneously.

Bulk Actions Limit and Domain (Transfer) Secret Change 

Note
  • At any point of time, you can add upto 2 Bulk Actions. This implies that you would not be able to add another Bulk Transfer / Renewal / Name Servers Modification / Contacts Modification / Theft Protection / Privacy Protection Action, if 2 Bulk Actions are already running. You will encounter the below error message in case you try to do so:

    Attention

    You already have the maximum allowed number of Bulk Operations running. Please wait for at least one to complete before starting another.

  • You will be able to add another Bulk Action once one of the earlier actions has been processed completely.

  • Once a domain name having an associated Domain (Transfer) Secret is Transferred under BigRock.com from another Registrar, the system would set a new Domain (Transfer) Secret for such a domain name. This process is implemented from a security perspective.
