Ask HN: How to transfer domain name to yourself?

1 points by giis 11y ago

I've few domain-names registered with a web-hosting company. Is it possible to transfer these domain names to myself instead of another vendor like godaddy ? Basically, I hope to pay the amount to icann directly rather than using web-hoster. Is that possible?

No, domains have to reside with a registrar. Separating that from the actual hosting makes sense though.

  okay..so you need to be a registrar to own domain-name yourself. thanks
