What does it mean to transfer registrars?
If you already own a domain, you registered it using a domain name registrar. By using our Transfer
Registrar tool, you are simply transferring your domain from the registrar you originally registered
to our registrar. (Please note, there is a 60-day transfer hold - which means you have to wait two
months from the initial registration before you can transfer your
domain.)

Why would I want to transfer registrars?
When you registered your domain you probably paid up to $70.00 to reserve it. Now that it is coming
due, you can save yourself some money by taking advantage of GetDots.com's extremely low transfer
prices. In addition, once the transfer is complete, you will be able to easily manage your domain by
using our secure online manager.

How much does it cost?
You can transfer your domain from your previous domain registrar to us for just $8.95.
This will add one year to the original registration term. For example, if your domain is due to
expire in 2 months, you can transfer it to us for $8.95, and it will then expire in 1
year and 2 months.

Will transferring change my information?
No. All existing information in your domain record will be preserved. Once the transfer has been
completed, you can then use the Domain Management System to change any information you choose.

How do I change registrars?
Click on the "Transfer Registrars" button on the left-hand navigation menu. Enter the domain(s) you wish to transfer.
The administrative contact will receive an email to confirm the transfer(s). (Please note: If the admin
contact's email address is outdated, they will not be able to receive the email, and there can be no
confirmation, and thus, no transfer. You must update your admin contact's email address with your
prior registrar first.)
