How long does a domain transfer take?

Domain transfers typically take 5–7 days to complete. The process requires you to unlock your domain at your current registrar, obtain an authorization (EPP) code, and approve the transfer request.

Will my website go down during a domain transfer?

No. Your website and email will continue to work normally during the transfer. DNS settings are preserved throughout the process, so there is no downtime.

Does transferring a domain extend its expiration date?

Yes. Most domain transfers add one year to the current expiration date at no extra charge, so you never lose registration time.

Can I transfer multiple domains at once?

Yes. Use our Bulk Domain Transfer tool to transfer up to 500 domains simultaneously. You can paste domain names directly or import a CSV, XLS, or XLSX file.
