This is the most comprehensive transfer available. Transfering your domain to Sensical.net identifies us as the controlling ISP for that particular domain which gives you full control over the domain and allows you to make any adjustments to the domain that you may wish. It also identifies Sensical.net as the billing contact for the domain which ensures that we will receive notifications from the central registrar when the domain is approaching its expiry date. We can then in turn notify you, which gives you ample opportunity to renew the name, should you wish.
