Domain Transfer

    I just have a few quick questions about transferring domains. First, if I transfer my domain name, will all of my web pages on that domain transfer as well? And second, how long does a transfer usually take (I've been hearing around 3-5 business days)?

    Thanks for your help!

    Transferring domain from a registrar to another will take 7 days maximum. Your site will remain the same, as long as your domain points to it.

    Domain transfer is common recent days and it take 5 to 7 days. SEO work will be transfer automatically. Don't worry it will be safe for you.

    Your site content, I believe, are on a different hosting account. So the content are safe.
    You need to choose the option "keep my existing DNS information" , or something like that, while buying the transfer. That will make sure your site doesn't get a downtime.
    In the worst case, the site will be down for, say, 24 hrs... during which you should go to new registrar and set correct DNS.

    Who are you transferring to? Last time I transferred some domains to namecheap.com and it literally only took 24 hours.

    When you are transferring a Domain name,only your Domain name is transferred and not your pages of the Domain.The transfer of the Domain usually takes 6-7 days when you transfer the Domain from one registrar to another Registrar :)

    Domain Transfer is only changing your Domain Invoicing Party to another provider. It does not affect your website. When your domain is transferred, you will renew your domain to the provider in future.

    Before performing the domain transfer, you have to ensure that your domain's Administrative Contact is under your name as the domain registrar might email you for domain transfer confirmation during the process. You have to click 'confirm' before your domain is officially transferred.
