Domain transfer
Check whether your domain is eligible to transfer, then review the current transfer options and continue securely to checkout.
Start your transfer
The basics
Your domain is separate from the website itself. After choosing a domain, you can add a website builder, WordPress hosting, traditional hosting and professional email based on what you need.
Transfer with confidence
Compare the practical details below before changing a long-term business address.
A domain transfer moves the domain registration from one registrar to another. It does not automatically move the website, email or DNS hosting. Plan those services separately so a registrar change does not become an unnecessary website or email migration.
No. The domain registrar and website host can be different companies. If DNS stays unchanged, the website can continue pointing to the same host while the registration moves. Avoid changing DNS at the same time unless the project specifically requires it.
No. Email hosting and domain registration are separate. Keep the existing mail DNS records intact unless you are intentionally migrating email at the same time.
Transfer timing depends on the extension, current registrar, domain status and approval process. See our domain transfer timing guide for the factors that can delay a move.
Transfer when consolidating registration makes account management easier or the new registrar better fits your needs. Keep the registration where it is when there is no practical reason to move it; you can still point DNS to inCloudServer hosting or email services without transferring the domain.
No. You can normally keep a domain with its existing registrar and update DNS to point to the hosting service you choose.
Do not assume it will. Record the current DNS configuration before the transfer and verify the resulting settings after completion.
Transfer eligibility depends on the extension, current domain status and applicable registrar/registry rules. Use the live transfer flow to check the domain and current requirements.
Domain questions
