Check transfer eligibility
Review the domain status, expiration date, and transfer rules with your current registrar.
Domain Transfer
Move the registration of a domain you already own to AffixCloud.
What to check
Start by checking whether your extension supports transfers and what your current registrar requires. Keep a copy of your DNS settings before making changes.
Prepare the authorization
Unlock the domain and request its transfer code if your extension uses one. Keep access to the registrant email in case approval is required.
Protect website and email access
Save the current nameservers and DNS records. Check the settings before switching nameservers so you can preserve website and email routing.
Check your domain after a transfer
Confirm the domain is in your account
Look for the transferred name in the Client Area and review its status, expiry date, and registrar contact details.
Open the site and test email
Check the root domain and www version, then send and receive a test message if you use mail on the domain.
Review protection settings
Check the transfer lock and any available account security controls. Update your domain inventory with the new registrar and renewal date.
Common questions
Does a transfer move my website files?
A registrar transfer changes who manages the domain registration. Website files, databases, and mailboxes need their own migration plan.
How long does a transfer take?
The timing depends on the extension, registrar, and any approvals required. Check the transfer status in the portal or ask support.
