  • steps:
    • you need to reg a account in those SG hosting company for host the domain
    • get EPP passcode for the sg domain to transfer from old owner

    • then, old owner will receive a email to confirm and approve the transfer (a bit difference than .com, as sg domain request must confirm or fail)
      • the email will have a transaction id + transfer code (security code) from old reg site to enable you to confirm or deny transfer, and there may be 2 situation:
        1. Situation 1: it will ask you to go old Reg site to confirm the Accept/Cancel transfer
        2. Situation 2: it will ask you to go new Reg site, and put (transaction id + transfer code) on new reg site > authorize transfer part, in the pending domain, and enter transfer code to confirm immediate the final transfer
