I've never once turned off whois protection to do a transfer. Just FYI.

I've only done from 2 different registrars. Gandi to Name.com. Then name.com to Porkbun. But, I've never done it.. and it's been suggested each time.

does cloudflare support .uk protection

Andy

AndyOP•6/23/22, 1:52 AM

.uk supports it by default or something because it wont let me access it anyway i think

Not sure of that one. But best of luck. Worst case, I just assumed the transfer would fail. I'd get an account credit.. then I could transfer if I had to turn off the whois protection.

AndyOP•6/23/22, 2:00 AM

namecheap never showed it but it said protection was off

Erisa

E

Erisa•6/23/22, 2:00 AM

yeah, thats because their own protection isnt supported but then the registry has its own

Erisa

You usually need to contact your current registrar. Some allow you to do it yourself and some don't

ICANN rules prohibit a domain from being transferred if it has been registered or previously transferred within the last 60 days or if the WHOIS Registrant contact information was modified in the last 60 days (even if redacted).
