Transfer to us and renew for 1 extra year

When the transfer completes, we add a year to your current expiry date, so nothing you have already paid for is lost. You pay the 1-year price shown below. A few extensions renew in 2-year terms (for example .ai), so their transfer adds 2 years. Some, like .uk and .com.au, move across free with no year added.

You will need the EPP (authorisation) code from your current registrar.

Why Transfer Your Domain to Us?

Moving your domain shouldn't feel like defusing something. Most of the actual work happens on the sending side — unlocking the domain, grabbing the EPP code — and once you kick off the domain transfer to Hostripples, the move itself runs quietly in the background over five to seven days without your site or email skipping a beat. This page covers the handful of things people actually worry about before they change domain registrar: will anything go down, will they lose time already paid for, and will support actually pick up if something looks off.

01

Zero Downtime Transfer

A zero downtime domain transfer means your website, email and DNS records keep resolving exactly as they do today — the transfer changes who manages the domain, not where it points. Nothing goes dark while the registry paperwork happens behind the scenes.

02

1-Year Extension Included

For most extensions the transfer adds a year to your existing registration when it completes, so you keep the months you already paid for at your old registrar. The transfer price is the price of that added year.

03

Transparent & Fair Pricing

The price you see at checkout is the price you pay — no surprise renewal jump twelve months in, no bundled add-ons you didn't ask for. GST is called out separately so the invoice actually matches what hit your card.

04

Centralized Domain Management

Once the transfer lands, your domain sits in the same dashboard as your hosting and email, so DNS changes, auto-renew and contact updates are one login instead of three. Useful on the day you need to make a change fast.

05

Free Whois Privacy Protection

Your registration details stay off the public WHOIS lookup by default — we don't charge extra for it or make you dig through settings to switch it on. It's included from the moment the transfer completes.

06

24/7 Expert Transfer Support

If a transfer stalls — a wrong EPP code, a registrar dragging its feet on the release, an approval email that never landed — there's a person on chat or a ticket at any hour, not a bot reading a script.

A straightforward start

How Domain Transfer Works

Five steps, and only the first two really involve any legwork from you — once you decide to transfer domain to India host Hostripples, the registry hand-off happens quietly in the background over the following days.

  1. Step 1

    Unlock your domain at your current registrar

  2. Step 2

    Get the Authorization Code (EPP code) from them

  3. Step 3

    Enter the domain and code on our transfer page

  4. Step 4

    Approve the transfer request from your admin contact email

  5. Step 5

    Manage your domain from your new Hostripples dashboard

Who should transfer a domain to Hostripples?

Move your domain to Hostripples to manage everything in one place.

If your domain, hosting and email all live in different logins — or your current registrar has quietly raised renewal pricing again — moving everything under one roof with a domain transfer to Hostripples is usually less effort than it sounds, and it doesn't touch your live site while it happens.

01

Anyone with scattered services

Keep your domain, hosting and email under one login instead of juggling three different dashboards, three support queues and three renewal dates to track.

02

People overpaying on renewals

For most extensions the transfer renews your domain for an extra year, at the transfer price shown on this page. Worth comparing if your old registrar's renewal price has crept up since you signed up.

03

Businesses wanting better control

A clear dashboard for DNS records, email forwarding and auto-renew, so changing a setting doesn't mean opening a support ticket and waiting.

Transfers typically complete in 5–7 days.

What You Get with

Every Transferred Domain

A transferred domain doesn't just get a new owner field in WHOIS — it lands on infrastructure built for the site you're actually planning to run on it. Here's what comes with it by default, no upsell required.

01

All-NVMe SSD Drives for maximum speed

Every account runs on NVMe storage rather than older SSD or spinning disks, which is most noticeable on database-heavy sites — WordPress admin screens and page loads both feel faster.

02

19 server locations in 11 countries

Pick a data center close to where your visitors actually are, rather than defaulting to wherever a host happens to have spare capacity — latency drops when the server isn't halfway around the world.

03

Built-in Malware Scanners

Your files get scanned on an ongoing basis rather than only when something's already gone wrong, so an infected plugin or a compromised upload gets flagged early instead of sitting there for weeks.

04

Automated backups for your website

Backups run on a schedule without you having to remember to trigger one, so a bad update or a hack doesn't mean rebuilding the site from scratch.

05

Auto-Scaling Infrastructure

Traffic spikes — a sale, a mention somewhere, a viral post — get absorbed automatically instead of the site falling over right when it matters most.

06

Lightweight Website Builder

If you don't already have a site built, there's a builder included that doesn't drag page speed down the way some bloated drag-and-drop tools do.

Transfer Requirements

ICANN requires domains to be at least 60 days old before transfer.
Most registrars lock a domain by default to prevent unauthorized transfers. You'll need to find the transfer lock or ‘registrar lock’ setting in your current account and switch it off — usually in the domain management panel — before the authorization code will actually work.
ICANN requires the registrant to confirm the transfer by email before it can complete, so whatever inbox is listed as the admin or registrant contact on the domain needs to be one you can actually check. If it's outdated, update it at your current registrar first, or the approval request will go nowhere.
The EPP code — also called the authorization code or auth code — is a one-time password your current registrar issues to prove you're the one requesting the move. You can usually generate it yourself from your account's domain settings; a few registrars make you email support to request it, which can add a day.
A domain that's already expired or sitting in the registry's redemption period can't be transferred until it's renewed and back in normal standing at the current registrar — the transfer system won't accept it otherwise. If you're this close to the deadline, renew first, then start the transfer.
Unlock the domain at your current registrar, get the EPP/authorisation code, then start the transfer here and confirm by email. We guide you through each step.
No, your website and email keep working during the transfer, and your DNS settings are preserved.
For most extensions, yes: the transfer adds one year to your current expiry date, and the transfer price you pay is the price of that year. A few extensions use 2-year terms (such as .ai), and some, like .uk, move across free with no year added.
Yes, you get the EPP/authorisation code from your current registrar; it authorises the transfer to Hostripples.
The ICANN 60-day transfer rule means a domain can't change registrars within 60 days of first being registered, and generally not within 60 days of its last transfer either. If you just bought the domain or moved it recently, you'll need to wait out that window before we can pull it in.
Registries increasingly require accurate WHOIS contact details, and a mismatch between what's on file and what's expected can hold up the approval email. Worth double-checking your registrant name and email are current at your old registrar before you start.
Rarely, but occasionally a losing registrar drags its feet or a support rep tries to talk you out of leaving — they're required by ICANN policy to release the domain once you've unlocked it and requested the code, so if that happens, ask for the EPP code in writing and escalate through their support if it still doesn't show up within a day or two.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. A domain transfer to Hostripples changes who administers the domain, not its DNS records — your site and inbox keep working off whatever nameservers and mail records are already set, right through the process. That's the whole point of a zero downtime domain transfer: nothing about how traffic reaches your site changes unless you go in and change it yourself afterward.
Yes — use the bulk transfer tool if you're moving a handful together, or just start them individually if it's only one or two. Each domain still needs its own EPP code and its own approval email, since ICANN's rules apply per domain, not per batch.
It has to be renewed and back to active status at your current registrar first — an expired domain, or one sitting in redemption, can't be pulled into a transfer. Once it's renewed, start the transfer as normal.
Nothing, as long as your MX records live on the same nameservers they do today. The transfer moves domain management from one registrar to another; it doesn't touch DNS unless you separately point the domain at new nameservers. If your email depends on records at your old registrar's DNS, leave that DNS pointed the same way until you've confirmed everything still resolves.
Yes, right up until expiry, though most registrars won't release a domain in the last few days before it lapses — some restrict transfers within 5 to 15 days of the expiry date as a safeguard against accidental loss. If you're inside that window, it's usually faster to renew at your current registrar first, then transfer once it has a healthy amount of time left.
Yes — auto-renew is a setting on your account with the registrar, not something that travels with the domain. Once the transfer completes, check your Hostripples dashboard and turn auto-renew back on if you want it, otherwise the domain will just sit until you renew it manually.
Your nameservers stay exactly as they were unless you change them — that's actually what keeps the site online during the move. If your DNS was hosted through your old registrar's own nameservers rather than a third party, keep pointing there or migrate the records to ours before switching, so nothing goes missing in between.
It's a setting your current registrar turns on by default (ICANN requires it) to stop someone from moving your domain without your say-so. It sits in your domain's management settings, usually labeled 'transfer lock' or 'registrar lock' — toggle it off, and give it a few minutes to take effect before requesting the EPP code.
.in domains go through India's registry rather than the generic gTLD system .com uses, so the approval flow leans on the registrant confirming by email, and timelines can run a little differently — sometimes faster, since there's no mandatory pending window the way some gTLDs have. Either way, the EPP code and admin email approval are still what you need in hand for a domain transfer India-based registrants rely on.
A losing registrar can reject a transfer for a handful of valid reasons — wrong EPP code, domain locked, account details not matching — and if nobody approves it within about 5 days it can also just expire on its own. Either way nothing is lost; you fix whatever caused it, usually just re-requesting a fresh code, and start again.
The transfer itself is priced the same as a standard renewal for that extension, shown on the domain's listing on our transfer page — no separate 'transfer fee' stacked on top. GST applies the same way it does to any other purchase.
No — the days remaining on your current term carry over, and for most TLDs the transfer adds a full extra year on top rather than replacing what you already had. It's one of the more underrated reasons to change domain registrar instead of just letting a renewal notice go through automatically.
Usually yes, though privacy protection can sometimes mask the actual registrant email needed for the approval step. If the approval email never arrives, that's the first thing worth checking — temporarily disable privacy protection at the old registrar so the real contact address is visible, request the transfer, then turn it back on once it's done.
Not really — once the transfer completes, the domain simply isn't theirs to manage anymore. Some registrars will still email you a renewal notice for a domain you no longer control; you can ignore it, though it's worth checking your old account isn't set to auto-charge a card for a domain that's already moved.
You'll need to update the registrant or admin contact at your current registrar before starting, since that's where the required approval email goes. If you've genuinely lost access to both the account and that inbox, most registrars have a recovery process — start that first, since it can take longer than the transfer itself.
Typically 5 to 7 days from when you submit the EPP code and approve the confirmation email — most of that is the mandatory waiting period built into the transfer process itself, not anything on our end. Some registries move faster; a few, particularly certain ccTLDs, can take a bit longer depending on how quickly the losing registrar responds.
Yes, they're separate decisions. You can transfer domain to India host Hostripples for management and pricing while keeping your website hosted anywhere else — just leave the nameservers pointed at your existing host. Plenty of people do exactly that and only move hosting later, if at all.
No — a registrar transfer doesn't touch your site's content, hosting, or DNS records if you leave nameservers as they are, and search engines have no visibility into who administers the domain behind the scenes. Rankings and backlinks are tied to the site itself, not to who you pay for the domain.
You'll get email updates at each stage — when we've requested the transfer, when it's pending your approval, and when it completes — and the domain shows a 'transfer in progress' status in your Hostripples dashboard, so you're not just guessing whether it's stuck.
Renewing extends your registration wherever it currently sits; transferring moves who manages that registration somewhere else, and for most TLDs adds a year in the process along the way. If your only goal is more time on the clock and you're happy with your current registrar, renewing is simpler — people usually transfer because they want better pricing, one dashboard, or support that actually responds.
Not immediately — the ICANN 60-day transfer rule blocks a move within 60 days of the initial registration, which exists specifically to make domain hijacking harder to pull off before an owner notices. Mark a reminder for day 61 and it goes through the same as any other transfer.
Possibly — ICANN's contact verification rules mean a material change to the registrant email can trigger a re-verification email from the registry, separate from the transfer approval itself. It's a quick click if it happens, and it's a standard anti-fraud step rather than anything specific to us.
Yes, as long as you have (or can get) the EPP code and the registrant contact can approve by email — ownership on the domain itself doesn't change unless the registrant details are updated separately. A lot of agencies handle client domain transfers exactly this way to keep everything in one place.
Yes — there's no limit tying you to a single extension. A .com, a .in and a .co.in can all sit in the same account once transferred, each on its own renewal schedule and DNS settings.
The core steps are the same — unlock, get the code, approve by email — but a few India-specific categories, like .gov.in or .ac.in, carry registry-level eligibility requirements around organization or ID proof that a standard .in or .co.in doesn't. If your domain falls into one of those restricted categories, it's worth checking the eligibility documents before you start a domain transfer India registries will actually accept.
