How long does it take to transfer a domain name?

steitieh · Jan 16, 2017

I want to move a domain from Godaddy to Namecheap, I don't know it is possible or not but if yes, how long does it takes to transfer a domain from a domain registrar to another registrar? any conditions to transfer a domain?

Sure that is totally possible and happens all the time. The actually domain transfer should usually take only about a day, in my experience. The only conditions are that you need to be the one managing the domain, you will get some emails to approve the transfer, so you need to have access to the email for the registrant on the domain.

Now a days it will be pretty much instantly just confirm some emails and wallah!

When transferring a domain name from Godaddy to Namecheap it will usually take 45min to 1 hour as long as you do all the email verifications right after receiving them.

I have done over a thousand over the last several years and this is the normal for the process in the last few years.

I was expecting a day but what Gecko stated.
I went the in the other direction from NC to GD (fully propagated) in under 15min.
I left NC as their .net renewal price was $14 vs GD's $8 for a .net transfer.

Providers say about 248 for changes of DNS hosts to cover there back just in case there an issues. But since there are all pretty much linked together these days its never hits that long at all.

Transfer domain name is nice decision, if you are not satisfied with your domain name. Transferring a domain name is registration from another registrar to network solutions. If your domain is 60 days old then your domain will transfer within 5 days.

I've transferred domains from GoDaddy to Namecheap in under a half hour before.

The usual I get is under an hour as long as there are no hold ups in the system anywhere and it's not during any kind of high volume promotion that is gumming up the works.

Usually about 48 hours to 5 working days. also depends on how quick the new provider are willing to accept and get you setup with them. Always ring both provider to be sure of steps required for you to transfer the domain correctly as a simple mistake could lead you to losing your domain.

Best of luck!
