Let's say that you already have a great domain name, but you're not happy with your domain registrar. Don't worry, you can transfer your domain to another registrar. So how do you figure out if transferring is right for you? Here are a few things to consider.
Every registrar offers a suite of features and services, such as privacy protection, web hosting and email. If you don't have all the features you want with your current registrar, you may wish to take advantage of a better package offered by a different registrar.
In addition to comparing features, it's also important to look at how the features and services are priced and implemented:
Look critically at the price structure of your domain registrar, because each one is different. Some registrars might charge extra fees for services that you consider critical, while others may offer the same services at no additional charge. Some may offer a low price for the first year, but then have much higher renewal rates. If your domain registrar is charging you more than you would be charged elsewhere, you may want to look for a less expensive registrar.
But remember: Price alone may not justify transferring your domain. Saving a few rupees per year on a domain name is much less valuable than having a domain registrar that suits your needs. Before making a transfer, consider the pros and cons of each registrar.
If you need to change the ownership of your domain (either from you to another person, or another person to you), you'll need to do a domain transfer. For example, if an employee registered your domain under a personal account, you may want to transfer the domain to an account maintained by your business. In some cases, you may choose to transfer to another registrar at the same time that you transfer ownership.
With so many registrars out there, it's very easy to transfer your domain. While every registrar's transfer process is different, they all have some useful features in common to ensure that transfers are safe and secure:
