No absolutely not. All of your domain name settings are preserved during and after the domain name transfer. Please ensure that your existing domain name settings, such as your nameservers and DNS entries are current and accurate before beginning the transfer.

In order to receive the 1 year renewal please ensure the following applies to you:-

• If your domain recently expired and you renewed it, wait 46 days before beginning the transfer. If you transfer a domain before then, an additional year will not be added to its expiration date, and you will still be charged a transfer fee.
• If your domain extension when transferred in, will only renew if it is 90 days or less from its expiration date.

Domain name transfers typically take a few hours to complete. In some cases it can take several days.

Before starting a transfer with us you or your existing domain name supplier should prepare your domain name for transfer by doing the following:

• Unlock the domain name
• If your domain name ends with .UK set the IPS Tag to ENOM
• If your domain name does not end with .UK, you will need to generate an EPP code also known as an authorisation code.

Once you have done these steps you can use our domain transfer tool above to start a transfer.
