Before how many days we can transfer domain

    If the domain name is going to be expired within a month, can we still transfer it somewhere and add a year to it ?

    before How many days we can transfer.

    Thanks

    with any registrar I've used if the domain is going to expire within a month you will have to renew with your current guys, and then once the renewal takes effect you're free to initiate a transfer somewhere else.

    Theoretically yes,but your current registrar may play some trick to delay it up to the point that you cannot transfer it before expired.

    The idea time is 3 month before it expired.

    according rules yes you can transfer.

    but some dodgy registrars can place lock and make forcibly to renew with them

    In my own experience, I've started a transfer process within the very last week before expiring, once with one day left, and transfers were successful.

    Here is how it worked for me:

    • Transfer process was initiated by the new registrar
    • Depending on the your old registrar the acceptance time
    • In the mean time domains may expire and display the expiration landing page
    • Transfer process continued on the background and finally succeeding after a few days.

    With Godaddy it's almost immediate in and out and it has been GoDaddy, MyDomain, Dynadot and Domainsite the registrars I will be playing with in last-minute transfers :rolleyes:

    If your domain is expiring within a month, you must renew it with the current registrar.. and you better not transfer it to different registrar..

    But you can Move the domain from one account to other account under the same registrar (domain Push or Move).

    If you have renewed the domain recently, its better to wait for a month before doing a domain transfer.
