Published specifications, published prices, and no tier that hides either
Written by the people who run the platform rather than by a content team, which is why some of it is blunt about what does not work.
Transfer a domain in
A transfer moves who the name is registered through. The site and the mail carry on working throughout.
## Before you start
The domain has to be unlocked at the current registrar, and for most extensions you need an authorisation code from them. A name registered or transferred in the last sixty days cannot be moved again yet.
## How long it takes
Five days for most extensions, because the losing registrar is given that long to object. A `.uk` name moves in minutes, because it is done by changing a tag rather than by a transfer.
## What it costs
A transfer adds a year to the expiry date and is charged at the transfer price for that extension.
