A domain transfer is the process of moving domain management from one registrar to another. In most cases, the domain name remains with the same owner (registrant), while the registrar company that provides domain management, renewals, DNS controls, and related services changes.
In simple terms, a domain transfer is a “move” of your domain to a different registrar. The process often requires disabling a registrar lock, obtaining an authorization code (AuthInfo / EPP / auth code), and confirming the transfer. Exact rules and timelines depend on the domain zone and registry policy.
It is the process of moving a domain from one registrar to another. The domain owner usually stays the same — only the registrar managing the domain changes.
You typically need to confirm the domain is eligible for transfer, disable the registrar lock (if enabled), get the AuthInfo / EPP code, submit it to the new registrar, and confirm the transfer. The exact steps depend on the domain zone and registry rules.
Usually no. A domain transfer changes the registrar that manages the domain, not the domain owner. Changing the owner is a separate process (owner change / registrant change), if supported in that domain zone.
