Domain name transfer refers to the process of moving a registered domain name from one domain registrar to another. Here are the basic steps involved in transferring a domain name:
It's important to note that domain name transfer policies and procedures can vary between registrars, so it's important to check with your current and new registrars for specific instructions and requirements.
How long does it take for domain name to transfer?The transfer time may vary and depends on various factors. In many cases the transfer takes only a few minutes. However, in exceptional cases, a transfer may take even more than one week to be completed. Transfers from most registrars usually take at least five days. Before the transfer of domain, it is to be sure the domain is unlocked. It is to be asked to registrar for authorization code and may need to check a few other settings. As it can be reversed by the registrar, some allows this to be done immediately. Most transfers take no longer than 2-3 days; 5 days is already a extend signal for some kind of problem with the transfer, while 7 days means the transfer got screwed up and the provider must be contacted. If the status is transfer submitted, your transfer is progressing smoothly and the domain will automatically be transferred to your account in 5-6 days. To expedite the transfer, you will need to contact the losing registrar and ask them to approve the transfer.
This status means that the domain transfer is rejected by the current registrar. This can occur if the domain does not meet the requirements of current registrar or those specified in ICANN's Policy on transfer of registrations between registrars. Receiving banks can sometimes reject a transfer for a number of reasons, like incorrect recipient details, closed accounts or others. The rejection of a domain transfer may have different reasons. It will automatically be informed by email if an incoming domain transfer rejects. In such cases, please contact current registrar in order to learn more about the reasons for rejection. if the current registrar does not receive a transfer request, this could be due to an invalid e-mail address in the WHOIS of the domain. Consequently, the transfer could not be confirmed.
To transfer domain name to another registrant, It can be initiated a change of registrant
by contacting current registrar. The registrar will then ask for confirmation via a
secure mechanism. Even in case of transfer there
are no extra charges. For most domain extensions, it will just be charged with a regular
transfer fee. This fee includes domain renewal. There are four steps to transfer domain
name to a new host:
1. Remove domain lock
and get an authorization code.
2.Initiate a transfer with new host.
3.Verify
the transfer.
4. for transfer and wait for the process to complete.
Auto-renewal is a billing model where the customer's payment details are charged automatically without the customer having to take action. Only the domain’s owner, the administrative contact, or the billing contact can enable or disable automatic renewal for a domain. You can enable auto-renewal when you first register a domain or any time after the domain has been registered. A domain renewal extends your ownership of your domain name by another year or more. This means that you have to renew the domain on a yearly basis if you want to remain the owner of that domain. When auto-renewal is turned on for a domain, we'll attempt to renew it automatically prior to expiration.

Domain transfers take 5 - 7 days to complete. To check the status of transfer are given
below:
1. Sign in to Google Domains.
2. Under "Pending domains" select the domain
name to get more details. If you manage multiple
domains at the same time with our bulk tools, pending domains are under a tab labeled
"Pending."
3 If the transfer is approved, it moves to “My Domains.”
4 If the
transfer is unsuccessful, you see a message with
a red banner.
Once the domain is transferred to Google Domains, there might be a
little wait while the new settings spread. It is possible but unlikely that some emails
and the website will be disrupted for a short
time.
To transfer domain name to another registrant, It is initiated a change of registrant by contacting current registrar. Once registrar receives confirmation, they will process the transfer and notify the new registrant once the transfer is completed. When a domain name is transfer, it is contacting ICANN, that they want an alternative registrar to manage domain. It may or may not be decided to change hosting provider at the same time. If it is decided to switch hosting providers, it will need to be ensure that a full backup of web site on computer before the process begin. It will also be ensured any server-side scripts is installed and will run on new hosting platform, because to upload site to new server. If you’re not sure how to do this, check with your new host to see if they are able to help. If you are just transferring the domain registration, your hosting account will be unaffected, and there will be no need to transfer files between servers. Although DNS information should be transferred as part of the process, it is always a good idea to have a record of them.
Yes an expired domain can be transferred; you can transfer an expired domain name if it is still in the registrars redemption grace period (RGP). The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) requires that registries allow a 30 day RGP. Once passed this period it enters a redemption hold period (RHP) which lasts for 5 days during which time the name is locked and can't be renewed. You can still transfer an expired domain, so long as it is still in the grace period and not in redemption status. Transfer eligibility details can be found in ICANN's inter-registrar transfer policy and our domain name change of registrant agreement. Most domain registrars will let the domain transfer continue if the domain has expired before the transfer has been completed; however, there are a few registrars that will manually deny the transfer after the domain has expired. While we strongly recommend initiating your domain transfer at least 2 weeks prior to its expiration date.
