How long does a domain transfer take?
Domain transfers typically take 5-7 days to complete. The exact time depends on your current registrar's response time and domain extension.
Will my website go down during the transfer?
No, your website will continue to work normally during the transfer. DNS settings and hosting are not affected by changing registrars.
Can I transfer a domain that expires soon?
Yes, but we recommend renewing first if it expires within 15 days. The transfer will add 1 year to your domain's expiry date.
What if my current registrar denies the transfer?
Contact us immediately. We'll help resolve any issues with your current registrar and ensure your transfer completes successfully.
Do I need to change my nameservers?
Not necessarily. You can keep your current nameservers or switch to ours. We'll help you choose the best option for your needs.
Is there a transfer fee?
No, domain transfers to NamePick are completely free. You only pay for the domain renewal (which adds 1 year to your domain).
