Our system automatically creates an order and then will send you an email.  You can click a link in that email to authorize the transfer.

How do you do it...step by step? I tried the instructions of unlocking it but never received an email with the auth code. Maybe I am not doing something correctly.

dynadot sucks. Where is the customer service? It's non existent. No wonder all the questions here are relating to moving domains AWAY from Dynadot. No help at all!

@ s_l_washington_us_2:

The step by step instructions can be found below:

How do I transfer my domain away from Dynadot?

We're sorry to see your domain go! There are a few things you should do to prepare your domain to be transferred - and you should do this before starting your transfer order at your new registrar.

To prepare your domain to be transferred away from Dynadot, please follow these steps:

  1. Sign in to your Dynadot account.
  2. Make sure your domain is not close to expiring by checking its expiration date on our "Manage Domains" page in the "My Domains" menu. Your transfer may still go through even if it expires during the process, but this is not guaranteed, so we recommend starting the transfer process at least 2 weeks before the domain's expiration date.
  3. Also on the "Manage Domains" page, you can click the ellipsis icon beside your domain name to check if the Whois information for the domain is correct. Your new registrar will be sending an email to your registrant email address to confirm the transfer. If it is not correct, you should update your Whois email. If you are using our privacy service, we will forward the email to your account email.
  4. You will then need to unlock your domain, which you can also do from the "Manage Domains" page.
  5. Once you've unlocked your domain, you will be able to get your domain's authorization code, which you will need to give to your new registrar.
  6. Make sure you leave your domain unlocked during the transfer process; however, we recommend locking your account again to ensure its security.

You are now ready to initiate the domain transfer at your future registrar's website.

Please note: We strongly recommend initiating your domain transfer at least 2 weeks prior to its expiration date.

@g_r_ambato_ec:

Are you asking how to create a CNAME in Dynadot?  The steps for that can be found below:

How do I create a CNAME?

A CNAME record is short-hand for Canonical Name record, which allows you to assign a domain or subdomain to another address or hostname. CNAME records should only be used if you can't use an A record.

NOTE: If you already have an A record within the Domain records section, please SKIP step 5!

To create a CNAME, please follow these steps:

  1. Sign in to your Dynadot account.
  2. Select "My Domains" from the left-side menu bar and click "Manage Domains" in the drop-down.
  3. Check the box next to the domain name(s) and select "DNS Settings" from the "Action" drop-down menu.
  4. On the new page, select the "Dynadot DNS" option from the drop-down menu.
  5. In the "Domain Record (optional)" section at the top, select "Forward" as the record type, choose forward type, and enter "https://www.yourdomainname.ext" as the "Target Host". (NOTE: This is optional and please replace the value based on your own domain name.)
  6. Under the "Subdomain Record (optional)" field, enter "www" as the subdomain, select "CNAME" as the record type and enter the CNAME record given to you.
  7. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the "Save Settings" button to save your changes.

Please be aware that it might take some time for your changes to propagate.

A CNAME may be necessary for your domain to work with the following: Blogger, Blogspot, TypePad, iweb, MobileMe, zenfolio, ning.

Your settings should look similar to what is shown below:
