Guide

Move your domain portfolio

Bring every domain you own across in one move: a free dry run shows what is ready and what it costs, then you confirm under a spend cap you set. From the dashboard, the CLI, an AI agent over MCP, or the API.

Connect the registrar you are leaving, or paste your list

In the dashboard, open Domains, then Move, and connect your current registrar with a least-privilege API key (the page shows the exact steps for each registrar). Or skip the connection and paste your domains. A key is stored encrypted and you can erase it at any time; no tool, CLI command or API response ever returns a key or a transfer code.

Plan the move

Planning records your domain list and nothing else: no money moves and nothing is lodged. From the CLI that is domains move plan, over MCP tallrig_portfolio_plan, over the API portfolio.plan. You get back a move id.

Run the free dry run

domains move dry-run, tallrig_portfolio_dry_run or portfolio.dryRun checks every domain: ready, blocked (with the exact fix, such as turning off DNSSEC) or cannot-tell. It returns a quote for each domain and the move total in US cents. Nothing is lodged, unlocked or charged, so run it as often as you like.

Confirm under a spend cap

Confirming spends money, so a spend cap is mandatory: the move is refused if its quote is over your cap, and a call without a cap is refused outright. domains move confirm --max-spend 50 takes US dollars; tallrig_portfolio_confirm and portfolio.confirm take maxSpendCents. The whole batch is reserved up front. A batch over the shared registrar spend ceiling waits for an administrator instead of failing.

Watch it, fix what is blocked, retry

domains move status --watch, tallrig_portfolio_status or portfolio.get shows each domain's live state. Where a domain needs you, the status carries the exact action. After you fix it, domains move retry, tallrig_portfolio_retry or portfolio.retryItem resumes that one domain. A cancelled move stops anything not yet lodged; transfers already lodged continue at the registry.

Nameservers only move when DNS is proven identical

Your DNS records are copied first and compared with what your current provider serves. A nameserver change is made only for domains you opt in, and only when that comparison shows no difference. If it cannot be proven, the domain is left alone.

CLIbash

# 1. plan: from a connected registrar, a file (one "domain [code]" per line), or the domains themselves
tallrig domains move plan --connection rcn_123
tallrig domains move plan example.com example.org

# 2. dry run: free. Exit code 1 means some domains are blocked.
tallrig domains move dry-run mv_123

# 3. confirm: SPENDS MONEY. --max-spend is US dollars and is required.
tallrig domains move confirm mv_123 --max-spend 50.00 --contact-file contact.json

# 4. watch until it settles (add --json for scripts; exit 0 ok, 1 partial failure, 2 usage error)
tallrig domains move status mv_123 --watch

# fix what blocked a domain, then retry; a new transfer code is read from stdin, never an argument
tallrig domains move retry mv_123 example.com
tallrig domains move cancel mv_123
