Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a domain transfer?
A domain transfer is the process of moving your domain name from one registrar to another. After completion, the new registrar maintains all domain and registrant details.
2. How long does a domain transfer typically take?
Transfer times vary by extension. While some domains complete in minutes, others may take days. For example, a .com transfer usually takes 5–7 days.
3. Will my website experience downtime during the transfer?
No, your website and email services will remain online during the transfer. The process only affects registrar details, not your site’s functionality.
4. Can I transfer a domain close to expiry?
Yes, but we recommend starting early to avoid complications. Once transferred, most domains receive an additional year added to their registration.
5. What is an EPP code and why is it needed?
An EPP (auth) code is a unique password for your domain, provided by your current registrar. It ensures only the rightful owner can authorise a transfer.
6. Can I transfer my domain again right after registering or transferring?
Most domains require a 60-day waiting period before another transfer. UK domains using IPS tags are an exception and can be transferred anytime.
