How to Prepare a Bulk Domain Transfer List
To prepare a bulk transfer list, create a spreadsheet with each domain name, current registrar, expiration date, lock status, AuthInfo / EPP code, DNS provider, nameservers, email provider, domain status, owner or client, TLD notes, priority, and risk level. Separate ready domains from domains that need unlock, fresh codes, DNS backup, renewal, ownership confirmation, or special TLD review.
Who This Guide Is For
This guide is for:
· Domain investors consolidating portfolios
· Agencies managing client domains
· Hosting providers moving customer domains
· Resellers preparing large transfer orders
· Businesses organizing domain assets
Before You Start
Before you start, prepare:
· Permission to transfer every domain
· Current registrar for each domain
· EPP codes can be requested
· Lock status can be checked
· DNS and email records are backed up
· Expiration dates known
· Client or owner authorization confirmed
· Payment or reseller balance ready
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Create a Master Spreadsheet
Use structured columns rather than plain text lists.
· Domain name
· TLD
· Current registrar
· Expiration date
· Lock status
· EPP code
· DNS provider
· Nameservers
· Email provider
· Owner/client
· Priority
· Risk level
Step 2: Clean the List
Remove duplicates, misspellings, wrong extensions, expired domains, and domains already at NiceNIC.
· Confirm exact spelling
· Confirm ownership and intent
Step 3: Group by Current Registrar
Unlock and request codes efficiently by registrar.
· Each registrar may have different transfer-out workflow
Step 4: Group by TLD
Some TLDs have special transfer rules, pricing, or document requirements.
· Separate ccTLDs and restricted TLDs
Step 5: Check Expiration Dates
Sort by expiration and flag near-expiration or expired domains.
· Avoid last-minute transfer risk
Step 6: Check Lock Status
Record locked, unlocked, clientTransferProhibited, serverTransferProhibited, or unknown.
· Submit only ready domains first
Step 7: Request EPP Codes
Match one code to one domain and record request date.
· Protect codes from unauthorized access
Step 8: Back Up DNS and Email Records
Flag domains using old registrar DNS or active business email.
· MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC are critical
Step 9: Check Pricing and Premium Renewal Risk
Confirm transfer, renewal, and premium costs before moving client or investor domains.
· Avoid surprise renewals
Step 10: Assign Risk Levels
Classify low, medium, and high risk domains.
· Transfer low-risk first
· Handle high-risk separately
Step 11: Submit Ready Domains First
Do not let problem domains block ready ones.
· Track status after submission
Step 12: Verify After Transfer
Check account appearance, nameservers, website, email, privacy, lock, and auto-renewal.
· Notify clients or team
Troubleshooting
Many Domains Failed
Possible reasons:
· Locked domains
· Wrong codes
· Bulk formatting issue
· Unsupported TLDs
What to do:
· Separate by error reason
· Request fresh codes
· Submit ready domains only
Some Domains Transferred but Others Did Not
Possible reasons:
· Different registrars
· Different TLD rules
· Approval missed
What to do:
· Track each domain individually
DNS Risk Found Late
Possible reasons:
· Old registrar DNS
· Unknown DNS provider
· Business email not backed up
What to do:
· Pause affected domains
· Back up or recreate DNS first
