Transfer questions
Helpful answers before you transfer
Important transfer details may vary by domain extension and current registrar.
Will my website or email stop working?
A registrar transfer normally does not change your nameservers. Your connected website and email should continue working when the existing DNS settings remain unchanged.
Where can I find the Auth Code?
The code is usually available in your current registrar’s domain panel or can be requested from their support team.
Can I transfer an expired domain?
Most domains must be active to transfer. If your domain has expired, renew it with the current registrar before starting the transfer.
Can every domain be transferred?
Transfer eligibility depends on the extension, domain status and registry rules. The transfer form will check whether the submitted domain can proceed.
Does a transfer extend the expiry date?
Many eligible domain transfers include an additional registration year, but exclusions apply for certain extensions and situations.
How long does a domain transfer take?
Many transfers complete within several days. The exact time depends on the current registrar, registry rules and how quickly the approval request is confirmed.
