Terms and conditions

Domain Transfers

*Your domain is renewed for 1 year during the transfer (although there may be certain exceptions for some ccTLDs like .UK domain family). 1 year is added to the current expiration date of eligible domains. Any registration time left with your existing provider is carried over during the transfer, provided your domain meets the requirements stated below.
An additional $0.18 ICANN fee is charged for most domains (see full list of domains with ICANN fees).
You’ll receive domain privacy for free with all compatible domains.
Every domain comes with a free two-month trial of Private Email.
If your domain expired with your previous registrar, and you've reactivated it (renewed after expiration) with them, please do not transfer it within 45 days of the previous expiration date. If you do this, your registrar will revoke the renewal you bought. Also, for some TLDs, there is a 60-day lock-in period when a domain is first registered or transferred, during which it cannot be moved between registrars.
