How to protect your NameBright domains while you are alive

There is no way to name a beneficiary or successor on a NameBright account; domains move while the holder is alive by a push to another NameBright account or a transfer to another registrar.¹

A domain can be pushed from one NameBright account to another. The recipient must already have a NameBright account and has 5 days to accept the push from My Account > My Transfers > Inbound Pushes, after which the push is cancelled and the domain stays with the sender.²

The sender starts a push from My Transfers with Start Push and supplies the recipient's NameBright username and email address. An accepted push moves the domain immediately and does not trigger a transfer lock; section 10 of the Terms governs pushes.^{2, 1}

A domain can be transferred out to another ICANN-accredited registrar with the standard auth/EPP code once the 60-day lock has expired. NameBright states the lock cannot be removed for any reason before it expires on its own.³

Under the Terms, High Security auto-declines an outbound transfer after 4 days with no action, while Low Security lets it complete after 5 days.¹

The Terms describe Linked Accounts, which let another NameBright user hold specified permissions on an account.¹

New registrations default to Auto-Renew on, and NameBright renews 14 days before expiration by default.⁴

Renewals draw on the account balance first and then cycle through the cards on file, and every renewal-failure and expiration notice goes to the account contact email address.¹

NameBright states that auto-renew settings do not ensure a domain will renew, and a failed renewal starts the expiry clock.¹
