Transfer your domain to ID-Euro (step by step)
Have a domain at another registrar? You can move it to ID-Euro without interrupting your website or e-mail. Here is how a transfer works.
Before you start
- The domain is usually at least 60 days old (a rule that applies to many extensions right after registration or a previous transfer).
- The transfer lock is switched off at your current registrar.
- You have the transfer code (EPP or auth code) from your current registrar.
- The owner e-mail address is correct, as an approval request may be sent there.
Step by step
- Start the transfer with your domain name and transfer code.
- Confirm the request (you may receive an approval e-mail).
- We handle the rest with the registry.
Will my site and e-mail keep working?
Yes. A transfer changes the registrar, not your DNS. As long as your DNS records stay the same (or move with you), your site and mail keep running. Check your records after the transfer, and use WHOIS to confirm the new details.
Our order wizard can try to copy your existing DNS records during the transfer. This is a best effort, not a guarantee, so always check your records afterwards.
.be and other country domains
Some country extensions (like .be) use their own procedure and code. We guide you through it, so reach out if anything is unclear, or check the details on the extension's page.
Frequently asked questions
Does a transfer cost anything? That depends on the extension. Check the price on the extension's page.
How long does it take? It depends on the extension: sometimes instant, sometimes a few days.
