Transfer Your Domain Name

In the most simple way possible, a domain name can be described as an address on the internet. Every website on the internet has an IP address which is a unique number identifier, but with so many of these numbers in existence and seemingly random, it’s much easier to remember a domain name.

When transferring a domain name from another provider (registrar), there is typically a period of processing time. Throughout the transfer process, your domain name/website will remain online. During this time you won’t be able to renew the domain, make any adjustments to your nameservers or WHOIS contacts until it finishes transferring.

Different domain extensions are managed by different registries, and depending on how that registry processes transfers, you may need to renew the domain name as part of the transfer – others allow domain names to be transferred at no cost (retaining the original expiry period without a renewal).

No, transferring your existing domain name to VentraIP is quick and simple, and will not cause any downtime to your website.

Please keep in mind that you won’t be able to update any of your domain name configurations during the transfer.
