Transfer a domain from Swizzonic (formerly Switchplus) to Infomaniak

This guide explains how to transfer to Infomaniak a domain name currently registered with Swizzonic.

Preamble

If you are migrating your data from another provider to Infomaniak, make sure you have recreated your services and when everything is ready, transfer the domain name by choosing the Infomaniak configuration at the end of the transfer (point b.7.a below). After a few hours (maximum), the Infomaniak services will take over from those of the old provider. And to make sure everything is correctly configured:

• run a DNS diagnostic to verify the Domain <-> Infomaniak Services link
• run a Mail diagnostic (SPF, DKIM...) to avoid any sending or receiving issues

Transfer the domain name to Infomaniak

a. Obtain the authorization code

A domain name can be transferred from one company to another using an authorization code that you must obtain from the current provider:

• follow this guide provided by Swizzonic

The terms EPP code, authcode, transfer code, and authorization code all refer to alphanumeric sequences specific to the domain whose main purpose is to verify the owner's authorization before transferring between registrars.

b. Transfer the domain name to Infomaniak

Once you have obtained the authorization code:

1. order the existing domain name from this direct link
2. enter your domain name (without www) and click on the magnifying glass to search for it (the system will detect that it already exists)
3. create a user account or select the organization in which to place the domain
4. click on the Transfer button on the page indicating that the domain name is already reserved
   
5. continue with the order wizard without taking any additional services
6. enter the owner's contact details for the domain name
7. activate the toggle button After the transfer, use Infomaniak DNS servers
   1. turn it ON if you already have the corresponding services for the domain with Infomaniak or if you are transferring them at the same time (or within a few hours max.)
   2. turn it OFF to manually specify the DNS that your domain should have (current DNS, for example)
   3. ADD TO POINT B "if you want to direct it to another provider like swisscom"
8. enter the authorization code (obtained in point a.7 above)
9. click on the Validate button
   
10. verify the data and confirm the order
