Locating and Modifying the Domain (Transfer) Secret/Authorization Code for your Domain Name (except .EU, .UK, .CC and .TV)

All domain names (except a .EU, .UK, .CC and .TV domain name) have a Domain (Transfer) Secret Key/Authorization Code (known as Unique Domain Authentication ID (UDAI) for .NZ domain names) associated with them. This would be required if you want to have such a domain name Transferred. Creaima / Mailnspace provides you with the unique facility of modifying your Domain (Transfer) Secret for each domain name. You can thus have a Domain (Transfer) Secret of your choice for each domain name.

This can be fulfilled by the following simple steps:

  1. Login to your Control Panel, search for the domain name whose Domain Secret you wish to modify and proceed to the Order Details view. Click here to know how >>
     
  2. The Domain Secret field in the Order Information section will have a link to view your Domain Secret over a secure connection. Clicking this link will open a new window where the current Domain (Transfer) Secret will be displayed.

    To Modify the Domain (Transfer) Secret, click the Domain Secret link above the Order Information section. In the resulting Domain Secret page, provide a Domain (Transfer) Secret of your choice in the New Domain Secret textbox and click Continue to save the change.
IMPORTANT
  • While modifying the Domain Secret of a .COM/.NET domain name, the following rules apply:

    1. The length of the Domain Secret can be from 8 to 32 characters only.

    2. The Domain Secret must contain one alphabet, a number as well as a special character.
     
  • In case of a .COM/.NET/.WS domain name, the Domain Secret field may have a link to set a Domain (Transfer) Secret (instead of a link to view the current Domain (Transfer) Secret) which can be used as mentioned below:

    1. Click the Click here to create Domain Secret link in the Domain Secret field.

    2. In the next page, provide a Domain (Transfer) Secret of your choice in the New Domain Secret textbox and click Continue to save the change.
     
  • In case of a .NZ domain name, you cannot choose a Unique Domain Authentication ID (UDAI) of your own. The Domain Secret page will display a link to modify the Domain (Transfer) Secret. Clicking the same will generate a new Unique Domain Authentication ID (UDAI) automatically.
     
  • Once a domain name having an associated Domain (Transfer) Secret / Unique Domain Authentication ID (UDAI) is Transferred to Creaima / Mailnspace from another Registrar, a new Domain (Transfer) Secret / Unique Domain Authentication ID (UDAI) is set for such a domain name. This process is implemented from a security perspective.
