+====== SG domain transfer ======
+  * check sg domain info first
+    * https://www.vodien.com/domain-names/whois/
+  * base rule:
+    * new register has 60 day lock down period, so cant transfer till 60 days ends
+    * any change on owner info of domain will lock another 60 days from the day it changes
+    * those .sg ended domain is controlled within SG, thus not all domain hosting company can handle the transfer, they most likely be handled by SG registered hosting company (example, godaddy can't transfer sg domain between account but can transfer out)
   * for SG domain transfer, refer to this info
     * page 12/21: https://www.sgnic.sg/pdf/rppg5eee.pdf?sfvrsn=2
     * https://www.vodien.com/knowledge-base/articles/domain-transfer-registration-vodien
+    * (only can transfer out to sg hosting company) https://sg.godaddy.com/help/about-sg-domains-9174
   * 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
+      * SG registar: https://www.sgnic.sg/domain-registration/list-of-registrars
-    * apply sg domain transfer on your hosting account
+    * unlock the domain, (if you can, for some foreign hosting company use 3rd party handler, you may not be able to unlock domain, so just go next time directly)
-    * 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)
+    * get EPP passcode/security code/authorization code for the sg domain to transfer from old owner
-      * 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:
+    * apply sg domain transfer on new your hosting account
-        - Situation 1: it will ask you to go old Reg site to confirm the Accept/Cancel transfer
+    * then, old owner will receive a email to confirm and approve the transfer (a bit difference than .com, as sg domain request must confirm, if not it will fail after 7 days, also for godaddy and other foreigner hosting company, they may use 3rd party SG company for handling the sg domain, so the confirm email may from their intermediate company not from them.)
+      * the email may have [ a transaction id + transfer code (security code) ] or [ a link from old reg site ] to enable you to confirm or deny transfer, and there may be 2 situation:
+        - Situation 1: it will ask you to go old Reg site/old 3rd party handler site to confirm the Accept/Cancel transfer
         - 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
-      * most time, if you do nothing for 7 days, the auto transfer will done, but use above method to get it immediate done
+      * once confirm, transfer should go in progress, you wait 5-7 days, the transfer will done, (<del>but use above method to get it immediate done</del>)
     * transfer done
+Extra note for other standard domain transfer:
+  * for normal domain, on old reg site, just unlock domain and get EPP code, and in new site, enter domain transfer with the EPP code; then old owner and new owner both get allow transfer in/out; then if updating reg contact info, both old/new owner approve update info; transfer done in 5 days or immediately there is a option in email.
+  * godaddy has direct domain transfer if both party has godaddy account, (but only common domain name can do that, some special domain can't)
+    * just go transfer to another account, enter new owner email, new owner allow transfer, old owner allow; then if update reg info, both old/new owner get email to approve; then done.

+  * using sg domain and hosting on 2 different owners/server
+    * Method 1:
+      * (on domain owner part): change name server to hosting owner's name server,
+      * (on hosting owner part): add records on setting on hosting owner's DNS server
+    * Method 2:
+      * (on domain owner part): point A record to hosting owner's IP address, and do all records on domain owner part (like if both domain and hosting on same service provider but 2 different owner account, generally no need do name server thing, so this is the solution)

+====== other transfer case ======
+  * wix to godaddy
