Preparation: What do you need?

Before you begin your move, there are a few important steps to follow:

1. Check the registration period: The domain name must be registered with your current provider for at least 60 days in order to be transferred.

2. Extended registration: Make sure your domain name is not going to expire soon.

3. Auth code (transfer code): Request this code from your current provider. This is a kind of key that is needed to confirm the move.

4. Check contact information: Make sure the email address in your account is up to date. Here you will receive important information about the move.

Frequently Asked Questions about Domain Name Transfer

Will my website remain online during the move?

Yes, in most cases your website will remain online. Zorg er wel voor dat je je bestanden en instellingen hebt geback-upt om eventuele downtime te voorkomen.

Do I also transfer my email addresses?

Email accounts are usually tied to your hosting provider, not to the domain name itself. You will need to set these up again with the new provider.

What happens to my DNS settings?

These settings are not automatically retained. You will need to manually transfer them to your new provider. Please contact the new host for assistance with this.

Tips for a smooth move

• Start on time: Don't plan the move just before an important deadline.
• Make backups: Make sure you have a full backup of your website files and emails.
• Check the status: After the move, check whether everything has been transferred correctly and whether your website is working properly.
