A friend of mine bought a domain name on 101domains, and now wants to have his website hosted on my servers. I would like to have full control of the DNS records, and thus would like to change the NS records to point to my DNS server.

I can't find how to do that on their control panel. I can access the listing of DNS records for the domain, but cannot change it. Thus, I would like to transfer it to another registrar, that I know allows to do all these changes.

How can I do that ?

It seems to me that you are not asking to transfer the domain but rather gain access to the dns records.


Login as the domain owner and select active domains
click on the appropriate domain name
on the lower right side of the screen will be the dns servers.
Click edit DNS servers and make the desired changes.
scroll all the way to the bottom and click next.
A new screen will show the proposed DNS changes
Click next at the bottom again and your changes will be confirmed.

Login at 101domain.com
Go to their 'Domains' page
Click on the domain in question
Buried halfway down that page you'll see a 'Request Authorization Code' link.


Deliberately hard to find if you ask me!

Their FAQ doesn't explain how to Transfer a domain out (what a surprise eh) but there should be somewhere in the Control panel that allows you to possibly unlock the domain then create an authorisation key which you can give to your new registrar.

Why is it that these hosting companies don't answer support tickets? Dreadful level of service. Either have instructions in your FAQ or answer the queries.

Then find domain secret / authorization key and use it for transferring it.Note your domain must be 60 days old for eligibility.
