Common questions

Frequently asked questions

How do I transfer my domain to a new host?

Unlock the domain and get an authorization code from your current registrar, then start the transfer here and enter that code. You approve a confirmation email and the transfer completes, usually within a few days.

Will I lose my website or email during a transfer?

No. A domain transfer moves the registration only. As long as your DNS records stay the same, your site and email keep working throughout.

Does transferring add time to my registration?

In most cases a transfer adds a full year to your existing registration, so you are not paying twice for the same period.

How long does a domain transfer take?

Once you approve it, transfers typically complete within five to seven days, depending on how quickly the losing registrar releases the domain.
