Transfer question??

Hi

I have a question..

Lets say I registered a domain on 1 dec 2008.
Now, If I want to transfer it, will my domain date change with only transfer cost? Or It will remain same as 1 dec??

Thanks

 

no most registrars will ask you to pay and when you pay they will renew it for one year

 

the date of registration remains same but you will get one more year for the domain

 

They add an extra year to your domain (ie - 2009 to 2010).

Domains also need to be more than 60 days old to transfer, and domains take upto 5 days to transfer.

 

make sure you check if the domain name can be transferred before you actually initiate the transfer request..it becomes a little irritating if the transfer request just fails because of something like a domain lock..in some cases like .UK, the transfer does not add one year to the domain..

 

Well, .co.uk ones are more of a registrar switch than a transfer, as it changes the ISPTAG.

 

I did not understand it...

Lets say I regged my domain on 1 dec 2008. And now toady (18 Feb 2009) I transfer it, so my expiry date will be same as 1 dec 2009 or it will be 18 feb 2010 ?

 

Before transfer, the exp date is 1 dec 09, and after transfer it will be 1 dec 2010. One year is adding to the date (like a renewal)

 

as explained above another extra year gets added to the domain if u transfer, but the creation date does not change.
