What is a domain transfer?
A domain transfer moves the management of a domain from one registrar to another. The name stays the same, your site keeps running, and you usually get an extra year added to its registration.
A guided transfer
Most of the risk in transfers is in the small details. We take care of them.
We connect services
After the transfer, hosting, email and DNS are checked so nothing is left disconnected.
No downtime
DNS stays in place during the move, so the site and email keep working.
Step by step
Typical transfers take a few days.

Before you transfer
A short checklist.
Eligibility
- The domain is older than 60 days
- It was not transferred in the last 60 days
- It is not expiring in the next few days
Information
- A working admin email address
- The authorisation (EPP) code
- Access to the current DNS settings
Safety
- Note down the existing DNS records
- Keep email on the current setup until we confirm
- Turn on auto-renew after the move
Frequently asked questions
Will my website go offline during the transfer?
No. DNS stays as it is until we are ready to change it.
How long does a transfer take?
Often a few days. Some extensions are faster, and some include a waiting period.
Do I lose the time left on my registration?
No. For most extensions the remaining time is kept and a year is added.
What if the transfer is rejected?
We find the reason, usually a lock or an expired code, fix it and try again.
