Re: Afrihost

Hi

The domain legally belongs to you (I presume) and as such they may not
retain control if you instruct them to the contrary.  You simply
instruct them to accept any and all transfer requests for your
domain(s) coming from your new ISP.

Make sure they who to expect the transfer from to prevent anyone
sniping your domain and while on the subject, ensure the new ISP keeps
the domain in YOUR name and not theirs... too many issues have arisen
from this practice.  Having dealt with Afrihost a few times this is
usually painless as long as you have notified them.

I suspect what they mean by "cancel the domain" is you need to cancel
any and all services for that domain such as web hosting, email etc.

My recommendation is that your new ISP initiate the transfer BEFORE
your existing services terminate and configure it on their side as
well to provide as smooth a transfer as possible.
