    Absolutely not.  The ownership of the domain name will remain the same after the transfer, as it was before the transfer.  You register it, you own it - 100%.

  2. What is a domain name transfer?
    If you already own a domain name, you probably registered it with another Registrar, such as Register.com or Network Solutions, and you probably paid $35 to register it.  You will probably be asked to pay the same amount to renew the domain for another year and continue to pay the same amount year after year.  If you transfer your domain you will enjoy an unbelievable savings on your domain name renewal, since it will cost you only $10.00 - not $35 or $70 to renew your domain name. Transferring your domain to us means that your domain will be moved from your existing Registrar to us.

  3. What does the Transfer fee include when I transfer my domain from other registrar to NextRegister.com?
    By transferring your domain name to NextRegister.com, you get an automatic 1-year extension to the domain registration expiration date.  This will include all internic charges. You will also get free parking, free domain management and free DNS Transfer for each domain name transferred.

  4. Will my domain's whois information and Hosting change?
    No, everything on your domain name record will remain the same when you transfer it to NextRegister.com, including your current H o s t i n g company, and DNS record information.  The expiration date is the only thing that will change, which will have an automatic extension of one year from the previous registration date with the losing registrar. 
    If you want to change H o s t i n g companies, or update your domain name contact information, you will be able to make changes to your domain name by using our Domain Manager.  You will need your username and password to make the any changes.

  5. What should I do first before I apply for my domain name transfer?
    Make sure that the email address on your current domain record is correct. One of the most common reasons for domain transfer to fail, is an old or incorrect email address for the administrative contact of your domain name on the whois record with the current registrar.

  1. How long does it take to transfer my domain?
    It usually takes 7-10 days to complete the transfer. Keep checking through the Domain Manager on the home page of NextRegister.com to see the progress of your domain transfer. 


    After the transfer process for your domain is now complete, you may renew your domain name for additional years (up to 10) if you like, and make changes to the contact information for your domain.  Please note that according to ICANN policy, you must wait for a period of 60 days if you choose to transfer your domain name to another registrar.
