Re: Contacts after a Domain Transfer

Hi there!

As a regsistarar at .SE i can tell you how the .SE EPP server works.

Host objects are owned by the sponsoring client of the domain itself,
and when you do transfers the hosts in a domain gets transferred
automatically.

When doing a domain transfer, the contact object of the domain is copied
and set as the registrant of the domain.

This solves the problems with other domain belonging to the old contact
at the old registrar.

The new registrar gets a notification that the epp server has created a
new contact for that registrar, so to be able to updates its own database.

This usually leads to me as a registrar changing the domain registrant
to a new or existing contact object that I have. And hopefully deleting
the old one.

Not all registrars are deleting old ones so this leads to some "junk" in
the database, but there are a discussion about automatically deleting
old, unused ones.

Best regards
jan
