Sometimes a domain name you want to transfer is be registered with us, but under another Synergy Wholesale Partner's account.
The transfer submissions process is the same, as long as you know the EPP Code for the domain name. You can still submit the transfer, like you would any other.
However, there are a few differences:
Domain renewals never occur when the domain name is transferred between partners
The domain name transfer is much faster (almost instant) because it's simply being moved between accounts
We usually consider this a "change of account" rather than a domain transfer. Because the domain isn't coming from another domain registrar
If you have any further questions about this process, feel free to reach out to us.
(Please note that a Change of Registrant comes at a cost to the value of how many years you wish to hold the registration for. Changing the registrant will reset the domain’s license period.
Before proceeding
Make sure you also update any website hosted on the service to work with the new domain name
Ensure that the domain name you are changing the primary domain to, is not already setup as an Addon Domain or Alias

You might be wondering why you're seeing Synergy Wholesale listed in a WHOIS lookup you've performed on a domain name. This is because we're a domain name wholesale provider, we have many Partners that register domains through us.
Registration
New .au domain names can be registered for a minimum of 1 year to a maximum of 5 years. A domain's initial registration period cannot exceed 5 years (1,825 days).
Sometimes. Different domain extensions are managed by different registries, and depending on how that registry processes transfers, you may need to renew the domain name as part of the transfer - others allow domain names to be transferred at no cost (retaining the original expiry period without a renewal).
