FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a domain transfer?
A domain transfer moves the registration of a domain name from one registrar to another without changing its ownership.
What do I need to transfer a domain?
1. Disable the Registrar Lock with your current registrar.
2. Obtain the EPP code (transfer authorization code).
3. Make sure the domain is neither expired nor newly registered (less than 60 days).
4. Confirm that the domain's contact email is up to date because a confirmation may be sent there.
How long does a domain transfer take?
A transfer may take between 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, according to the procedures of your current registrar and domain extension.
Will the transfer affect my website or email?
No, if your nameservers remain unchanged. However, if your current registrar hosts your DNS and does not maintain it after transfer, adjustments may be needed.
Can I transfer an expired domain?
Generally not. You may need to renew it with your current registrar before initiating a transfer.
What should I do after initiating a transfer?
1. Confirm the transfer using the email from your current registrar.
2. Wait for automatic or manual approval, depending on the provider.
3. Once the transfer is complete, check that all information (DNS, renewal and contacts) is correct.
Can I transfer a domain with WHOIS privacy enabled?
WHOIS privacy may need to be temporarily disabled to receive and approve the confirmation email.
