Domain transfer price comparison
Compare transfer fees by domain extension
This TLD transfer price comparison shows the lowest inbound transfer charge found for each extension. The transfer fee is only part of the decision: check the registration time included, coupon limits and the receiving registrar’s later renewal price.

Price snapshot: each figure is the lowest displayed transfer price found among the six registrars on that extension’s full comparison page. A free .co.uk transfer does not include a free renewal year. Coupon eligibility, domain status, regional pricing, taxes and registry rules can change the amount or whether a domain can be transferred.
Compare the real transfer cost
Look beyond the headline domain transfer fee
The cheapest domain transfer is not always the lowest-cost home for the domain. Compare the inbound charge, registration time added, future renewal rate and included account tools before changing domain registrar.
- 01Time included
- Many eligible generic-domain transfers add registration time. The compared .co.uk transfers add no renewal year, while the displayed .ai transfer totals include two years.
- 02Future renewal price
- A low transfer offer covers the move, not every later year. Check the receiving registrar’s standard renewal fee before switching providers.
- 03Offer eligibility
- Coupon limits, customer limits, transfer locks, expiry status and registry rules can affect whether the advertised domain transfer deal applies.
- 04Included services
- Compare privacy, DNS controls, account security, payment options and support. Optional email, hosting and other add-ons can change the final cost.
How to transfer a domain
Move a domain to another registrar without unnecessary changes
The exact process varies by extension and registrar. This checklist covers the usual steps for an inbound registrar transfer; check the detailed extension page and both registrars’ current instructions before starting.
- 01Check eligibility
- Confirm the domain is active, transferable and not blocked by a recent registration, recent transfer, dispute or registrar lock.
- 02Check contact access
- Make sure you can receive any approval message sent to the registrant or account contact used for the transfer.
- 03Unlock the domain
- Turn off the registrar transfer lock when the extension uses one. Keep account security and two-factor authentication enabled.
- 04Get the transfer code
- Generic domains commonly use an authorisation or EPP code. A .co.uk transfer normally uses an IPS tag change instead.
- 05Start the inbound transfer
- Enter the domain and required code at the receiving registrar, check the transfer fee and included term, then submit the order.
- 06Protect website and email
- A registrar move does not require new nameservers. Keep the existing DNS records in place unless you intentionally want to change DNS or hosting.
Domain transfer versus renewal
Compare the next payment and the years after it
Transferring can reduce the immediate cost and may add registration time, but it also changes the company managing the domain. Renewing is simpler when you are happy with the current registrar. Compare both choices using the total cost and the account features you will rely on.
- 01Transfer when
- The receiving registrar offers a worthwhile total price, lower future renewals or account tools that better suit how you manage the domain.
- 02Renew when
- The current registrar’s long-term cost and service are competitive, or the domain is not currently eligible to move.
- 03Do not compare price alone
- Review DNS reliability, security, privacy, support, payment methods and portfolio tools alongside the transfer and renewal fees.
- 04Leave enough time
- Do not rely on a last-minute transfer for an important domain. Eligibility checks, approvals and different registry processes can affect completion time.
How transfer prices are compared
A practical domain transfer cost comparison
For each extension, this page shows the lowest displayed inbound transfer charge in its detailed six-registrar comparison. Public coupon offers are included when the code and material eligibility condition are shown.
The comparison keeps different registry terms visible rather than treating every fee as equivalent. The .co.uk transfer price does not add a renewal year. The displayed .ai transfer totals include two years. For .com, .org and .net, the detailed pages use the one-year inbound transfer price where available and advise confirming the added term before payment.

Domain transfer questions
Common questions about moving a domain
These answers cover general registrar transfers. Use the extension links above when you need the complete price table or extension-specific transfer conditions.
How much does it cost to transfer a domain?
The cost depends on the extension, registrar, offer conditions and registration time included. Compare the domain transfer fee with the new registrar’s future renewal price before moving.
Does transferring a domain add another year?
Many eligible .com, .org and .net transfers add one registration year. The compared .co.uk transfers do not add a renewal year, while the displayed .ai transfer prices include two years. Confirm the current term before paying.
Is it cheaper to transfer or renew a domain?
A transfer can be cheaper for the next term, but the best long-term option also depends on the receiving registrar’s standard renewal rate, included services and transfer conditions.
Will transferring a domain affect the website or email?
Changing registrar does not normally require changing nameservers or DNS records. Check that the existing DNS remains in place and avoid unrelated DNS changes during the transfer if continuity is important.
What do I need to transfer a domain to another registrar?
A typical transfer requires an eligible unlocked domain, access to the registrant contact method and an authorisation or EPP code. Some country-code extensions use a different process; .co.uk commonly uses an IPS tag change.
