What is a domain name transfer?

As the name itself explains, a domain name transfer involves moving the domain name from one registrar to another.

To be eligible for a domain name transfer, you must wait for 60 days to elapse with the original registrar after the domain registration or any previous transfer.

Before initiating the domain name transfer process, it is essential to check whether all the domain's data is up-to-date and whether all information is accurate and updated.

Ensuring that the domain's contact information, including the registrant's email address, is current is crucial, as this information will be used for verification and communication during the transfer process.

Additionally, it is advisable to verify that the domain is not locked or under any transfer restrictions. Some registrars offer domain lock services to prevent unauthorized transfers. If the domain is locked, it must be unlocked before the transfer can proceed.
