Something else on your mind?
Talk to our teamWill transferring my domain move my website too?
A domain transfer changes where the domain is managed. It does not automatically move your website files or email. Contact us to plan those services together.
Do I need an authorisation code?
Many extensions use an authorisation or EPP code, but the process differs between registries. Follow the steps in the client portal for your extension.
How long does a transfer take?
Timing depends on the extension, registry rules and how quickly the required approvals are completed. Our team can advise on your specific domain.
Will my website or email stop working?
DNS settings need careful handling. Contact us before changing nameservers or cancelling your old services so we can help plan continuity for your website and email.
Does a transfer include a renewal?
That depends on the domain extension and registry rules. The portal confirms applicable charges and registration periods before you complete the transfer.
