Domain transfer means submitting an online domain transfer application to the domain name service provider, filling in the relevant domain name registration information, and the registrar agrees to the transfer of the domain name. After agreeing, it can be transferred to the new domain name registrar.

How long does it usually take to transfer:

It usually takes 3-15 days from the user submitting the transfer application to the end of the transfer process (if you can reply to the confirmation letter issued by the relevant domain name registrar as soon as possible, the whole process can be completed in just 3-6 days).

Since domain name transfer first requires the domain name to be valid (that is, it has been registered for at least 60 days and has not exceeded the expiration date, etc.), it is generally recommended that users start the domain name transfer as much as possible 2-3 months before the expiration of the domain name. This will give you enough time to deal with possible errors.

The advantage of domain name transfer is that you can get a cheaper renewal price from a different registrar, which is easier to manage and control freely. However, pay attention to the following matters during the domain name transfer process:

1. It must expire at least one month

2. It needs to be renewed for at least one year after renewal

3. The transfer process takes about a week after obtaining the transfer password

According to the policies of the domain name registry, the following domain names cannot be transferred to other registrars:

Domain name less than 60 days after registration;

Domain name within 60 days of transfer;

Domain name in dispute, arbitration or court restrictions on transfer;

Domain name less than 60 days from the last renewal date;
