The transfer time depends on the domain extension.
Popular ones like .com or .net usually transfer smoothly – from a few hours to a few days.
For gTLD domains you will receive an email from the current registrar with a confirmation link.
After confirming, the domain is transferred to us within 24 hours, but in most cases within 1 hour.
The transfer code (or EPP code) is obtained from your current domain provider. Usually, it can be found in their control panel, but sometimes you need to contact them.
Already have the code? Don’t wait too long – it is usually valid for only a few days.
During the transfer, your website usually stays online.
Whenever possible, we keep the current DNS records to avoid interruptions.
After the transfer is completed, you will have full control over them through our panel.
You don’t need to wait for your domain to expire.
You can transfer it to us at any time. If you wait until the last moment, there is a risk that your website will temporarily be unavailable or that additional fees may occur with your current provider.
Transferring your domain name to Actiefhost is useful if you want to manage domains, hosting, DNS and support in one place. This gives you better overview and simpler administration, especially when you manage multiple websites, email accounts or domain extensions.
Yes, you can. A domain name and hosting are separate services. You can transfer your domain name to Actiefhost while keeping your website temporarily at another hosting provider, as long as the DNS settings continue to point correctly.
