Everything about the domain transfer

Let’s start with a primary meaning, what is the domain name transfer? The most superficial meaning is: when an existing, registered domain name is transferred from the Registrar (who currently manages the domain) to another Registrar. In this case, if you have a domain name with another Registrar, you can transfer it to our company or another Registrar.

When should you choose the domain transfer? 

There are several reasons to want to choose domain transfer. One of these is the price-value ratio, each Registrar determines the price of the domains, so there can be plenty of differences, but the quality is also important next to the price. There may be other such reasons, if we have our hosting service and domain name with a different Registrar, then it can be easier to transfer the services to one Registrar.

Questions

Does transferring domain names affect domain-based email addresses? Domain transfer doesn’t mean that you have to move your e-mail hosting, you will still be able to manage your e-mails. If the domain Registrar stores your individual e-mail address, then the domain transfer may affect the e-mail addresses. What happens to the website during the domain transfer? When you transfer a domain name from one Registrar to another, nothing happens to the hosting, the website remains functional during the process if the domain’s nameservers do not change.
