Please note! Before you start transferring a domain to RealHOST from your current registrar, make sure that:
- the domain has an ACTIVE status
- The Privacy Protection option is disabled
- at least 60 calendar days have passed from the moment of domain registration or the last change of the registrar (for a gTLD - generic Top-Level Domain)
- at least 7 calendar days have passed from the moment of domain registration or the last change of the registrar (for Ukrainian domains)
- at least 7 calendar days are left before the domain registration expiration date (at the moment of transfer application submission)
General information on domain transfer
Upon transfer, the domain registration period is increased to 1 year. Domain renewal is performed only if the total period of domain registration at the end of this operation will not exceed 10 years (the maximum term of domain delegation).
As long as a domain transfer is in progress, its status does not change. If the domain expires during the transfer procedure, it will work anyway.
Registrar transfer procedure takes 5-7 calendar days.
