Search a domain name: https://transferoffshore.com/app/domains/transfer?name=yourdomain.com Popular extensions: .com ($12.49), .net ($12.99), .org ($12.49), .io ($53.49), .ai ($86.49), .co ($32.49), .me ($18.49), .xyz ($12.49) Transfer price per extension, one year included on gTLDs. You add the auth code on the next screen. **Quick answer — How do I transfer a domain to an offshore registrar?** Unlock the domain at your current registrar, copy its auth (EPP) code, and enter both in **TransferOffshore**, the Panama-based transfer service of DomaineGoat LLC. As of October 2026, a .com transfer costs **$12.49**, billed once, and adds one year. Nameservers stay as they are; the old registrar has up to 5 days to release it. No ID: one verified email, paid in crypto. ## A transfer in four moves The domain changes registrar. Its DNS, website and email stay where they are. 1. **Unlock at the old registrar** — Turn off the transfer lock. Many registrars refuse a transfer in the first 60 days after a registration or a previous move. 2. **Copy the auth code** — The auth code (EPP code) proves you hold the domain. Paste it next to the name; add up to 20 rows per request. 3. **Pay in crypto** — Top up with BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC. The transfer price is taken from your balance once it is credited. 4. **The domain arrives** — The old registrar has up to 5 days to answer. Nameservers are kept, and one year is added on .com, .net and .org. ## Transfer costs the same as a renewal One price per extension: transfer, renewal and first year are equal, with WHOIS privacy included where the registry allows it. | Extension | 1st year | Renewal | Transfer | WHOIS privacy | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | .com | $12.49 | $12.49 | $12.49 | Free | | .net | $12.99 | $12.99 | $12.99 | Free | | .org | $12.49 | $12.49 | $12.49 | Free | | .io | $53.49 | $53.49 | $53.49 | Free | | .ai | $86.49 | $86.49 | $86.49 | Free | | .co | $32.49 | $32.49 | $32.49 | Free | | .me | $18.49 | $18.49 | $18.49 | Free | | .xyz | $12.49 | $12.49 | $12.49 | Free | *8 extensions · prices per year in USD* Prices per year.

Domains are registered through our ICANN-accredited registrar partner, shown in the RDAP record, which keeps its own legal duties and abuse contact. - **No action on a complaint alone** — Copyright, defamation, political or competitor complaints need a decision that binds us, from a Panamanian court. Abuse policy. - **Data out only when Panamanian law requires it** — A Panamanian court or prosecutor's order, or a UDRP case. Nothing else. Disclosure policy. - **No ID, no KYC** — One email per domain, required and verified, never published: the only contact detail we collect. Transfer without KYC. - **Strict exceptions, in the open** — Phishing, malware, botnets and fraud that takes money from victims: action within 24 hours of a documented report. Child abuse material: at once. ## Transfer questions people ask first ### Will my website or email stop during the transfer? No, as long as you keep the same nameservers. A transfer changes the registrar, not the DNS: TransferOffshore keeps your current nameservers by default. The one exception is DNS hosted by the old registrar, which can stop when the domain leaves: copy those records first. Read [transfer without DNS downtime](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-without-dns-downtime/). ### How long does a domain transfer take? Up to 5 days for .com, .net, .org and most gTLDs: the old registrar has 5 days to answer, and the transfer completes on its own if it does not refuse. Some country extensions are faster or work without a code, such as .uk with its IPS tag. Times per extension: the [transfer rules table](https://transferoffshore.com/data/domain-transfer-rules-by-extension/). ### Do I lose the time left on my domain? No. On gTLDs such as .com the transfer adds one year to the current expiry date, up to the 10-year maximum, and the time already paid is kept. A few country registries, such as .uk and .ch, keep the expiry date without adding time. If the old registrar auto-renewed the domain in the last 45 days, the registry cancels that renewal and still adds one year; ask that registrar about a refund. Details in [how transfers work](https://transferoffshore.com/how-domain-transfers-work/). ### Can I transfer many domains at once? Yes: up to 20 domains per request, each with its own auth code, typed row by row or pasted as a list. Larger portfolios go in several requests. Order them by expiry date and send the ones expiring soonest first. See [bulk domain transfer](https://transferoffshore.com/bulk-domain-transfer/). ### Do you need my ID or my real name? No. TransferOffshore asks for no ID document, no selfie, no name, no address and no phone number. The one detail it needs is an email per domain, which ICANN requires to be verified within 15 days; it is kept private, and you are the registrant of record. Payment is in crypto only.

Because a transfer is where most domain owners get stuck. The auth code sits behind a menu, a lock blocks the move for 60 days, the DNS hosted by the old registrar stops on arrival, or a renewal is charged twice. These problems are documented in scattered help pages, often out of date. TransferOffshore puts them in one place. We publish [where 18 registrars hide the auth code](https://transferoffshore.com/data/registrar-transfer-out-index/), [the transfer rules of 40 extensions](https://transferoffshore.com/data/domain-transfer-rules-by-extension/), and a guide for [keeping DNS online](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-without-dns-downtime/). Each page carries the date of its last check and its sources. ## What do we commit to? Our Panamanian rules govern what DomaineGoat LLC does with your account, the data it holds and the complaints sent to it. Four rules, decided on 8 October 2026 and applied to every domain: 1. **No action on a complaint alone.** Copyright, defamation, political or competitor complaints need a decision that binds us, from a Panamanian court. 2. **Data out only when Panamanian law requires it.** DomaineGoat LLC releases the data it holds only when Panamanian law requires it (a Panamanian court or prosecutor's order), or in a UDRP case. 3. **No ID, no KYC**: one email per domain, required and verified, kept private. 4. **Strict exceptions, written openly**: phishing, malware, botnets and fraud that takes money from victims are acted on within 24 hours of a well-documented report; child sexual abuse material immediately, and the URLs are reported to NCMEC. Trademark disputes follow the UDRP. The details are in the [abuse policy](https://transferoffshore.com/abuse/) and the [disclosure policy](https://transferoffshore.com/disclosure-policy/). ## What will we publish, and when? A transparency report, first issued in January 2027: complaints received by type, how many led to an action, data requests by origin, and how many were refused for lack of a valid Panamanian order. There are no figures yet, and we will not invent any. Prices are public in [pricing.json](https://transferoffshore.com/pricing.json); the facts used by search engines and AI assistants are on the [official facts page](https://transferoffshore.com/llm-info/). ## What do we not do? We do not sell extensions whose registry requires a local presence we do not have, such as .us, .eu, .fr or .ca. We do not accept Monero. We do not promise that a domain can never be suspended: phishing, malware and fraud are suspended on a documented report, and ICANN rules, the UDRP and each registry's law still apply. We do not publish customer counts, ratings or reviews. **Questions before you move?** Write to support; we answer within 12 hours.

No account needed. - URL: https://transferoffshore.com/abuse/ - Last updated: 2026-10-19 - Publisher: TransferOffshore (https://transferoffshore.com) How we handle complaints about domains we hold: what leads to suspension, what needs a Panamanian court decision, and how to send a report that can be acted on. **Quick answer — What is the TransferOffshore abuse policy?** As of October 2026, **TransferOffshore** takes no action on a complaint alone: copyright, defamation, political or competitor complaints need a decision that binds us. Phishing, malware, botnets and fraud that takes money from victims are the exceptions, acted on within 24 hours of a documented report sent to abuse@transferoffshore.com; child sexual abuse material is handled at once. ## What does a complaint alone lead to? No action. A complaint about copyright, defamation or political content, or one sent by a competitor, does not by itself lead us to suspend a domain. Such disputes need a decision that binds us: a decision of a Panamanian court. Foreign judgments must first be recognised in Panama. We register the complaint and may forward it to the customer. We take no action on unverified complaints. ## Which abuse leads to suspension? A short list of harms leads to suspension on a well-documented report, with no court order needed: - **phishing**; - **malware** distribution and command servers; - **botnets**; - **child sexual abuse material (CSAM)**; - **fraud that takes money from victims**: fake shops, investment and crypto scams, wallet drainers, impersonation of a bank or a brand, and the sale of stolen data. Our target times: phishing, malware, botnets and fraud that takes money from victims, action within 24 hours of a well-documented report; CSAM immediately, and the URLs are reported to NCMEC; a UDRP lock within 2 business days of the dispute provider's request; an answer to any other report within 2 business days. Every report gets an automatic acknowledgement with a reference number. Our ICANN-accredited registrar partner, shown in the RDAP record, keeps its own legal duties and its own abuse contact. ## How do I report abuse? Write to **abuse@transferoffshore.com**. You do not need an account, and you do not need to identify yourself beyond a reply address. A well-documented report contains: - the domain name and the full URLs concerned; - the type of abuse, from the list above; - evidence: screenshots with the date and time, email headers for phishing mail, malware hashes or samples, or the payment details a victim was asked for; - when you saw it, with the time zone; - for CSAM, the URL only: never send the material itself. Reports without evidence are read, but they cannot lead to a suspension on their own. ## How are trademark disputes handled? Through the UDRP, the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy, as ICANN requires of every registrar. A trademark holder files a complaint with an approved dispute provider, not with us. The domain is locked within 2 business days of the dispute provider's request, the provider receives the registrant record on file, and the panel decision is applied. ## What changes with Domain protection? With [Domain protection](https://transferoffshore.com/domain-protection/), every complaint is read by a person before any action on the domain, and the customer is told about it when the law allows. That review exists only with the option. Without it, complaints follow this policy as written above. The deadlines do not change: phishing, malware, botnets and fraud within 24 hours of a documented report, child abuse material at once. ## What happens after a suspension? We tell the customer which domain was suspended and why, unless the law forbids it. A customer who believes a suspension was a mistake can reply to that message with evidence, such as proof that a hacked site has been cleaned. A person reviews that evidence and replies with the outcome. The [acceptable use policy](https://transferoffshore.com/acceptable-use/) lists every prohibited use. **Report abuse** abuse@transferoffshore.com · no account needed · acknowledgement with a reference number.

No ID. - URL: https://transferoffshore.com/acceptable-use/ - Last updated: 2026-10-19 - Publisher: TransferOffshore (https://transferoffshore.com) The uses that are not allowed for any domain we hold, split in two groups: the ones we act on with a documented report, and the ones that need a court or a UDRP panel. **Quick answer — What does the TransferOffshore acceptable use policy forbid?** The **TransferOffshore** acceptable use policy, in force as of 19 October 2026, forbids 5 kinds of abuse that lead to suspension on a documented report: phishing, malware, botnets, child sexual abuse material, and fraud that takes money from victims. Other disputes, such as copyright, defamation or trademarks, need a Panamanian court decision or a UDRP decision. ## Who does this policy apply to? It applies to every domain held through TransferOffshore, whether it is registered in your name or with [Domain protection](https://transferoffshore.com/domain-protection/). It covers the domain itself, its DNS, and anything the domain points to: websites, email, files and servers. By ordering a transfer, a registration or a renewal, you accept this policy, the [terms of service](https://transferoffshore.com/terms/) and the [abuse policy](https://transferoffshore.com/abuse/). ## Group 1: which uses are suspended on a documented report? A domain used for any of the following is suspended on a well-documented report, without a court order: 1. **Phishing**: pages or messages that imitate a service to collect passwords, codes, card or account details. 2. **Malware**: hosting or spreading malicious software, or running its command and control servers. 3. **Botnets**: controlling or coordinating networks of infected devices. 4. **Child sexual abuse material (CSAM)**: any content of this kind, which is also reported to NCMEC. 5. **Fraud that takes money from victims**, including: - fake shops that take payment and deliver nothing; - investment scams and crypto scams; - wallet drainers; - impersonation of a bank or a brand; - the sale of stolen data, such as card numbers, account logins or personal records. How to report, and our target times, are in the [abuse policy](https://transferoffshore.com/abuse/). ## Group 2: which disputes need a court or a UDRP decision? Every other dispute about a domain or its content needs a decision before we act. A complaint alone is not enough. This group includes: - **copyright** claims, including DMCA notices; - **defamation** and claims about reputation; - **political** content and criticism; - complaints from **competitors**; - **trademark** disputes, which go to the UDRP: the panel decision is applied; - other claims about the legality of content. For these, we act on a decision that binds us: a decision of a Panamanian court, or a UDRP panel decision for trademarks. Foreign judgments must first be recognised in Panama. This is not legal advice. ## What else must customers respect? Customers must keep the email of each domain working and verified, as ICANN rules require. It is the only contact detail we collect. They must not use the service to get around a suspension, for example by moving the same abuse to a new domain on the same account. Accounts used for repeated Group 1 abuse may be closed. ## How do I report a breach of this policy? Write to **abuse@transferoffshore.com**, with no account needed. Include the domain, the URLs, the type of abuse and your evidence. Every report gets an automatic acknowledgement with a reference number. --- TransferOffshore: TransferOffshore is the domain transfer service of DomaineGoat LLC, a company incorporated in Panama: move one domain or a whole portfolio with its auth codes, keep your DNS running, and pay in crypto with no ID. Domains are registered through our ICANN-accredited registrar partner, shown in the RDAP record. --- # What is an auth code (EPP code), and how do you get it? > What an auth code (EPP code) is, where registrars hide it, how long it stays valid (7 to 40 days on ccTLDs), and how to keep it safe. No ID, paid in crypto. - URL: https://transferoffshore.com/auth-code/ - Last updated: 2026-10-19 - Publisher: TransferOffshore (https://transferoffshore.com) One short string decides whether a domain can change registrar. Here is what it is called, where to find it, how long it lasts, and why it never belongs in an email. **Quick answer — What is an auth code (EPP code)?** An auth code (EPP code, AuthInfo or transfer key) is the password a registrar issues to prove you may move a domain. Under ICANN rules, as of October 2026, your registrar must make it available within 5 calendar days of your request. At **TransferOffshore** you paste it next to the domain in the transfer form, never in an email. ## Auth code: key facts | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | What it is | A per-domain password stored at the registry and checked when a transfer is requested | | Who gives it | Your current registrar, from its dashboard or by email to the registrant | | ICANN deadline | 5 calendar days from your request, when the registrar has no self-service tool | | Payment disputes | A registrar may not hold the code back because you owe it money | | Lifetime today | No fixed lifetime for gTLDs; ccTLDs vary, from 7 days (.be) to 40 days (.eu) | | .uk | No code: the current registrar changes the IPS tag | | Coming change | A one-time Transfer Authorization Code (TAC), valid 14 days, once the new ICANN policy takes effect | | In our form | One code per row, hidden while you type; up to 20 rows per request | ## What is an auth code called at different registries? It has many names, but it is always the same thing: a secret that proves the transfer request comes from the holder. EPP, the protocol registrars use to talk to registries, calls the field AuthInfo. Registrars and registries then give it their own labels. **AuthInfo** — The EPP field name, used by DENIC for .de and in most registry documents. **EPP code / auth code** — The usual name in registrar dashboards for .com, .net, .org and most gTLDs. **Transfer key** — The name used for .fi by Traficom; the registrar must give it within 5 working days. **Transfer authorisation code** — The EURid name for the .eu code, valid 40 days or until used. **Authorisation code (formerly UDAI)** — The .nz name, valid 30 days and issued for a single transfer. **Token** — The SIDN name for .nl; the registrar must supply it within 5 days. **Transfer Authorization Code (TAC)** — The new ICANN name in the policy adopted on 7 June 2026, not yet in force. **IPS tag** — Not a code: the .uk label of a registrar at Nominet, changed to move a domain. ## Where do registrars put the auth code? Either in the domain's settings in the dashboard, or in an email sent to the registrant contact. You usually have to turn off the transfer lock first. Some examples, per each registrar's help pages as of October 2026: - **Cloudflare:** Manage Domains › Manage › Configuration › Unlock, then copy the code; “Regenerate” issues a new one. - **Gandi:** the domain's “Transfer out” tab, with a button to generate a new key. Only the owner or admin contact sees it. - **Porkbun:** the Details menu › Get Authorization Code. - **Namecheap:** sent by email to the registrant. - **Squarespace:** emailed to the registrant within 24 hours; each new request creates a new code, and only the latest one works. If the code shows “unavailable”, the domain is usually inside its 60-day period after registration or transfer. Every registrar we cover is in the [transfer from…](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-from/) guides. ## How long is an auth code valid? For gTLDs, the current ICANN policy sets no fixed lifetime, so it depends on the registrar. Country registries often set one. Get the code when you are ready to submit it, not days ahead. | Extension | Validity | Notes | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | .com, .net, .org and other gTLDs | No fixed lifetime today | Some registrars replace the code on each request; only the newest works | ICANN Transfer Policy | | .de | 30 days, one transfer only | DENIC can send an AuthInfo by registered mail if the provider is inactive (paid) | DENIC (primary) | | .eu | 40 days, or until used | Also available from EURid's My .eu or as an emergency code | EURid (primary) | | .be | 7 days | Requested through the registrar, emailed by DNS Belgium to the holder | DNS Belgium (primary) | | .es | 10 days, or until used | Sent to the administrative contact, who must accept by email within 10 days | Red.es (primary) | | .nz | 30 days, single use | No charge may be made for changing registrar | InternetNZ (primary and secondary) | | .fi | 30 days | Traficom can provide it if the registrar does not within 5 working days | Traficom (primary) | | .uk | No code | IPS tag change; code-based transfers from 9 February 2027, according to Realtime Register | Nominet and Realtime Register | | gTLDs under the new policy | 14 days (336 hours), single use | Adopted 7 June 2026; no effective date as of 19 October 2026 | GNSO Final Report | Some of these extensions (.eu, .be, .es) are not sold here; they are listed because the rules differ so much. The full per-extension table is [transfer rules by extension](https://transferoffshore.com/data/domain-transfer-rules-by-extension/). ## Can a registrar refuse to give you the auth code? No, not for long, and never as leverage. The ICANN Transfer Policy requires a registrar without self-service to give the code within 5 calendar days of the holder's first request. It may not withhold it over a payment dispute. A registrar may still deny the transfer itself for a reason the policy allows, such as the 60-day period after registration. And it must deny during a UDRP case or under a court order. Those are limits on the transfer, not on the code. The common blocks are in [why a domain cannot be transferred](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-lock/). ## How do you keep an auth code safe? Treat it like a password: anyone who holds it while the domain is unlocked can start a transfer. A few rules keep it under your control. - **Never send it by email or chat.** We never ask for your password, your account number or your domain transfer (EPP) codes by email or chat. - **Never put it in a URL.** Our pre-filled link carries only the name, such as `/app/domains/transfer?name=example.com`, never the code. - **Ask for it late.** Request the code just before you submit it, and generate a new one if it has leaked. - **Relock after a failure.** If you cancel a transfer, turn the transfer lock back on at the old registrar. - **Watch the registrant inbox.** The losing registrar's emails about the transfer go there, and you can reject an unwanted request. Once the domain has arrived, request a fresh code from the new registrar if you ever need one; do not reuse the old one. ## How do you enter auth codes in the TransferOffshore form? One code per domain, typed on the same row as the name. The [transfer form](https://transferoffshore.com/app/domains/transfer?lang=en) shows a Domain field and a Transfer code field on each row. The code field is hidden as you type, with a Show button. - **Add another domain** adds a row, up to 20 per request. - **Paste a list** takes one `domain code` pair per line, for a whole batch at once. - Spaces before and after the code are removed. A code must be 1 to 128 printable characters; otherwise the form asks you to enter it exactly as your registrar gave it. - The code is kept only for your browser session, not saved in the cart. - A .uk transfer needs no code: support handles the IPS tag change with you. If the old registrar rejects a code, the domain shows **Failed** in My domains with the reason, and a field to send a corrected code. ## What changes when the auth code becomes a TAC? The code gets a fixed lifetime and a single use. The Transfer Policy Review, adopted by the ICANN Board on 7 June 2026, renames AuthInfo as the Transfer Authorization Code (TAC): - the registrar must set and issue it within **120 hours** (5 days); - it is valid for **336 hours (14 days)**, a limit the registry enforces; - it is **one-time use**: the registry resets it once a valid TAC is accepted; - you get a notice no later than 10 minutes after it is issued. As of 19 October 2026, no effective date has been published, and today's rules still apply. Follow it on [ICANN transfer policy changes](https://transferoffshore.com/news/icann-transfer-policy-changes/). ## Auth code questions ### Is the auth code the same as the EPP code? Yes. Auth code, EPP code, AuthInfo and transfer key all name the same per-domain secret. EPP is the protocol registrars use with registries, and AuthInfo is its field name. The new ICANN policy will call it the Transfer Authorization Code (TAC) once it takes effect; no date is published as of October 2026. ### My auth code is rejected. What should I do? Request a new code at the old registrar and copy it without extra spaces. A code fails when it was mistyped, replaced by a newer one, expired under a ccTLD rule, or out of sync with the registry. In TransferOffshore, open the failed domain in My domains and send the corrected code from there. ### How long does my registrar have to give me the code? Five calendar days for gTLDs, when the registrar has no self-service tool. Many show the code at once in the dashboard. Country registries set their own deadlines: SIDN gives .nl registrars 5 days, and Traficom gives .fi registrars 5 working days. ### Can someone steal my domain with the auth code? Only if the domain is also unlocked, and you would usually see emails about it. Keep the transfer lock on until you are ready, request the code just before you use it, and never send it by email. If you receive a transfer notice you did not expect, reject it at your registrar at once. ### Do I need an auth code for a .uk domain? No. A .uk domain moves when the current registrar changes its IPS tag to the gaining registrar's tag, and the expiry date stays the same. Nominet plans to move to code-based transfers on 9 February 2027, according to Realtime Register. ### Does TransferOffshore charge for the auth code when I leave? No. The auth code is free, from your account, at any time, and there is no exit fee. The usual ICANN timing still applies: many registrars refuse a new transfer within 60 days of the last one. The steps, from unlocking to the new registrar, are on [transfer out](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-out/). ## Sources 1.

We compare what a transfer really costs, what happens at renewal, how many domains you can send at once, what each registrar asks for, and what its written rules say about takedowns and your data. **Quick answer — Which registrar should you transfer a domain to?** It depends on your first need, as of 19 October 2026. **Crypto payment and no ID:** TransferOffshore, our own service run from Panama: $12.49 for a .com with one year added, 20 domains per request, nameservers kept. **Monero:** Njalla, OrangeWebsite or 1984 Hosting. **Lowest .com price with a card:** Cloudflare, Dynadot or Porkbun, all US-based. ## Key facts (checked 19 October 2026) | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | .com transfer at TransferOffshore | $12.49, the same as the renewal, with one year added | | Who takes Monero (XMR) | Njalla, OrangeWebsite and 1984 Hosting; not TransferOffshore | | Largest published bulk limit | Gandi, 150 domains per batch; Namecheap, 50 per submission; TransferOffshore, 20 per request | | Price change ahead | Verisign's .com wholesale price goes from $10.26 to $10.97 on 1 November 2026, so most .com prices below will move | ## Registrars ranked for moving domains (October 2026) **Methodology.** Published by TransferOffshore (DomaineGoat LLC). Every registrar is compared on the same eight criteria: .com transfer price, renewal after the transfer, whether a year is added, bulk tool, data asked, accepted crypto, jurisdiction, and published takedown or disclosure policy. Facts come from each registrar's own pages where we could read them, otherwise from the third-party sources listed at the bottom. *Prices checked on October 19, 2026.* Ranked for one job: moving domains you already own to a provider outside the usual US registrars, without an ID check.

Expect most figures to change after Verisign's increase on 1 November 2026. ## What 'offshore' really changes (and what it does not) An offshore registrar changes who must answer a complaint or a court order. It does not take a domain out of the global rules. **What changes:** TransferOffshore is the domain transfer service of DomaineGoat LLC, a company incorporated in Panama: move one domain or a whole portfolio with its auth codes, keep your DNS running, and pay in crypto with no ID. Domains are registered through our ICANN-accredited registrar partner, shown in the RDAP record, which keeps its own legal duties and abuse contact. DomaineGoat LLC acts on Panamanian court orders. A foreign judgment must first be recognised in Panama. Details are on [why Panama](https://transferoffshore.com/why-panama/). **What does not change:** - Every ICANN-accredited registrar signs the same contract. It must verify the registrant email within 15 days and act on well-documented DNS abuse. - Trademark disputes on gTLDs go through the UDRP. The registrar applies the panel decision, wherever it is based. - Registries keep the registrant record under their own law, except the thin .com and .net registries, which hold no contact data. With [Domain protection](https://transferoffshore.com/domain-protection/), the registry shows our company, not you. ICANN can also remove a registrar. It terminated Trustname's accreditation in a notice dated 27 August 2026, over abuse handling. Its domains then moved to other registrars. ## Which registrar fits your case? Pick the registrar that matches your first need, not the longest feature list. - **You pay in Monero:** Njalla, OrangeWebsite or 1984 Hosting. We do not accept it. - **Smallest yearly bill, and a card is fine:** Cloudflare at $10.46, Dynadot at $10.88 or Porkbun at $11.08 for a .com. All three are in the USA. - **Hundreds of domains in one batch:** Gandi takes 150 per batch, but renews .com at $38.38. We take 20 per request; see [bulk domain transfer](https://transferoffshore.com/bulk-domain-transfer/). - **A service outside the USA, no ID, nameservers untouched:** that is the case we built TransferOffshore for. Prices are on the [price list](https://transferoffshore.com/pricing/). ## What should you check before moving a domain to any registrar? Check four things before you pay anywhere. 1. **The renewal price**, not only the transfer price. A cheap transfer can hide a high renewal. 2. **The 60-day rule.** A domain registered or moved in the last 60 days usually cannot be transferred. See [transfer lock](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-lock/). 3. **DNS hosted at the old registrar.** Copy those records first, or the site can stop. See [transfer without DNS downtime](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-without-dns-downtime/). 4. **A recent renewal.** A transfer right after an automatic renewal can cost that year at some registrars. Read [how domain transfers work](https://transferoffshore.com/how-domain-transfers-work/). ## Transferring to an offshore registrar: FAQ ### What is an offshore domain registrar? An offshore domain registrar is one based outside the country of its customers, usually outside the USA and the EU. TransferOffshore is run by DomaineGoat LLC in Panama, and its domains are registered through an ICANN-accredited registrar partner. The domain still follows ICANN rules and the rules of its registry, so offshore changes who handles complaints, not the global rules. ### Which offshore registrars accept Monero? Njalla, OrangeWebsite and 1984 Hosting accept Monero (XMR), as of October 2026, per their own pages or the research sources below. 1984 Hosting does not offer crypto to users who appear to be in Iceland. TransferOffshore does not accept Monero: we take Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC). ### Is an offshore registrar cheaper than Namecheap or Porkbun? Not usually. On 19 October 2026, Porkbun charged $11.08 for a .com transfer and renewal, and Namecheap $11.48 to transfer. Privacy-first offshore providers sat between $15.99 and €18.90. Our .com transfer is $12.49, and the renewal is the same price. ### Does a transfer add a year to my domain? Yes, on .com, .net, .org and other gTLDs, at TransferOffshore and at most registrars in this list. The year is added to the current expiry date. Country extensions follow their registry: .uk adds no year, and some registries count from the transfer date. ### Can an offshore registrar refuse every takedown? No. ICANN rules require every accredited registrar to act on well-documented phishing, malware and botnets, and to apply UDRP decisions. We refuse to act on a complaint alone, such as copyright or defamation claims without a Panamanian court decision. Phishing, malware, botnets and fraud are acted on within 24 hours of a documented report, child abuse material at once. ### How many domains can I transfer at once? Up to 20 per request at TransferOffshore, each line with its own auth code. Namecheap allows 50 per submission and Gandi 150 per batch. Porkbun, Dynadot and Cloudflare state no maximum. Larger portfolios simply go in several requests; see [domain portfolio transfer](https://transferoffshore.com/domain-portfolio-transfer/). ## Sources 1.

Domains are registered through our ICANN-accredited registrar partner, shown in the RDAP record. --- # Bulk domain transfer: move many domains in one request > Bulk domain transfer: paste up to 20 domains with their auth codes in one request, keep your nameservers, pay in crypto with no ID. - URL: https://transferoffshore.com/bulk-domain-transfer/ - Last updated: 2026-10-19 - Publisher: TransferOffshore (https://transferoffshore.com) Paste a list of names and auth codes, keep the nameservers you use today, and follow every domain on its own line in My domains. This guide covers the format, the errors you can meet and how to split a large list. **Quick answer — How do I do a bulk domain transfer?** As of October 2026, **TransferOffshore** accepts a bulk domain transfer of up to **20 domains per request**. Paste one `domain code` pair per line, keep your current nameservers, and pay the whole list in crypto from one balance. A .com row costs $12.49 and adds one year. Each old registrar then has up to 5 days to release its domains. ## Bulk transfers at a glance | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Domains per request | Up to 20; a longer list goes in several requests | | How to enter them | Row by row, or "Paste a list" with one `domain code` pair per line | | Auth codes | One per domain, 1 to 128 printable characters, no spaces | | Nameservers | Kept by default: "Keep current nameservers" is ticked when the cart holds only transfers | | Price per row | The transfer price of the extension; .com $12.49, one year added on gTLDs | | Country extensions | The registry decides whether time is added; .uk and .ch keep the expiry date | | Time per domain | Up to 5 days for the old registrar to answer | | Payment | BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, from a prepaid balance (minimum top-up $25) | | Follow-up | One status per domain in My domains, with the reason if a row fails | ## How many domains can I transfer in one request? You can send up to **20 domains in one transfer request**. Each row is checked and handled on its own, so one bad code does not hold back the other rows. For a longer list, send several requests. A list of 65 domains, for example, becomes four requests: three of 20 and one of 5. Each request is paid from the same balance. The cart can also be mixed. Transfers, new registrations and renewals can sit in the same order, but a name can appear only once. For lists of 50 domains or more, read the [portfolio plan](https://transferoffshore.com/domain-portfolio-transfer/), which covers inventory and timing. ## What does the "Paste a list" format look like? Write one domain per line, then one space, then its auth code. The form at [/app/domains/transfer](https://transferoffshore.com/app/domains/transfer?lang=en) reads each line as one row. You can still add or fix rows by hand after pasting. The example below uses fake names and fake codes. Never post your real codes anywhere, and never send them by email: the code is the key to the domain. *Example list (fake domains and codes)* ```text example.com Xk7#pQ2vLm9! example.net 4tR!bW8zQe1@ example.org Hs3$Kd9pYv2# example.io Vn6^Lq8mTz4& example.co Pw2*Rj5nGc7% ``` ## Why does each domain need its own auth code? Because the auth code (EPP code) belongs to one domain at the registry, not to your account. A code for example.com cannot move example.net, even when both sit at the same registrar. Most registrars let you copy each code from the domain page. Some send it by email, and a few offer a bulk export. If your registrar has no self-service, the ICANN Transfer Policy gives it **5 calendar days** to hand over the code. See [where to find an auth code](https://transferoffshore.com/auth-code/). Codes do not last forever. They are often valid for **5 to 14 days**, depending on the registry and the registrar. So collect the codes for one request and send that request the same day. ## Will my nameservers change in a bulk transfer? No. When the cart holds only transfers, the option **"Keep current nameservers"** is ticked by default, so every domain keeps the DNS it uses today. In a mixed cart, that option applies only to the transfer rows. You can also pick our nameservers, Cloudflare, or your own custom nameservers for the whole order. You can change this later, domain by domain, in My domains. One case needs care. If your old registrar hosts the DNS records, they can stop when the domain leaves. Copy the zone first, and check DNSSEC before you start. The steps are in [transfer without DNS downtime](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-without-dns-downtime/). ## Which rows can fail, and what do you do? The form checks each row before payment. The old registrar and the registry check it again after the request. Each problem stays on its own row. | Message | When you see it | What to do | | --- | --- | --- | | "Transfers of .xx aren't available" | In the form, before payment | The extension is not sold here. See the [list of extensions](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/). | | "Enter the code exactly as your current registrar gave it" | In the form, before payment | The code is empty, too long or has a space. Copy it again. | | "This domain isn't registered yet" | In the form, before payment | Nobody holds the name. Use "Register it instead". | | Wrong transfer code | In My domains, after the request | Get a new code and use "Update the transfer code". | | Domain locked | In My domains, after the request | Remove the [transfer lock](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-lock/) at the old registrar, then update the code. | | Less than 60 days since registration | In My domains, after the request | Wait until 60 days have passed since registration or the last transfer. | ## How should I split a large list by expiry date? Sort the list by expiry date and send the domains that expire soonest first. Each request of 20 rows is then one batch, and the most urgent names arrive first. Three groups should wait or move on their own: - **Domains registered or transferred less than 60 days ago.** Many registrars refuse them. Put them in a later batch. - **Domains that expire in the next few days.** A transfer can take 5 days, and a wrong code costs more time. Renew them at the old registrar first, or start early. - **Expired domains.** A domain in its redemption period cannot be transferred. Read [expired domain transfers](https://transferoffshore.com/expired-domain-transfer/) first. One more point concerns renewals. If the old registrar has just renewed a domain, a transfer within the 45-day auto-renew grace period cancels that renewal year at the registry. Whether you get your money back is up to the old registrar. ## What does a bulk domain transfer cost? A bulk transfer costs the sum of its rows. Each row is billed once, at the transfer price of its extension, the same as its renewal price; a .ai row is billed 2 years (transfer + one renewal). A .com row is $12.49, a .net row $12.99 and an .io row $53.49. On gTLDs such as .com, .net and .org, the transfer adds one year to the current expiry date, up to the 10-year maximum. For country extensions, the registry decides, and some, such as .uk and .ch, add no time. Some, such as .de, .uk, .nl and .ch, are sold only with [Domain protection](https://transferoffshore.com/domain-protection/), and their shown price already includes it. There is no fee per request and no bulk surcharge. You top up once and the total is taken from your balance. Every price is on the [price list](https://transferoffshore.com/pricing/). ## Where do I follow each transfer? In **My domains**, each transferred domain gets its own line with the badge "Transfer in progress". The filter "In progress" shows them all at once. Open a domain to see its timeline: **Requested**, then **Waiting for the current registrar** (up to 5 days), then **Completed** or **Failed**. A failed row shows its reason, such as a wrong code or a lock, and a form to update the code. The other rows of the same request carry on. Auto-renew is on by default for transferred domains. It renews them from your balance, so check the balance before the next expiry dates. ## Bulk domain transfer in six steps 1. **List your domains** — Export names and expiry dates from the old registrar. Sort them by expiry date. 2. **Unlock them** — Turn off the transfer lock on each domain of the first batch. 3. **Collect the codes** — Copy one auth code per domain. Send the batch the same day, while the codes are valid. 4. **Paste the list** — Use "Paste a list" with one domain code pair per line, up to 20 lines. 5. **Pay in crypto** — Keep "Keep current nameservers" ticked, review the total and pay it from your balance. 6. **Follow each row** — Watch the statuses in My domains and fix any failed row with a new code. ## Bulk domain transfer: FAQ ### Can I transfer more than 20 domains at once? Not in one request: the limit is 20 domains per request. Send several requests instead, all paid from the same balance. Splitting by expiry date also helps, because the most urgent domains go first and a problem in one batch does not touch the others. ### Do all my domains need to come from the same registrar? No. Each row is a separate transfer, so one request can mix domains from different registrars. Each old registrar answers for its own domains, within the same 5-day window. Our [registrar guides](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-from/) show where each one keeps the code and the lock. ### What happens if one code in my list is wrong? Only that row fails. The domain shows "Failed" in My domains with the reason "Wrong transfer code", and a form lets you enter a new code. The other rows of the request carry on as normal. Ask the old registrar for a fresh code if the first one has expired. ### Will my websites and email keep working during a bulk transfer? Yes, in most cases. Your current nameservers are kept by default, so the DNS does not change. The exception is DNS hosted by the old registrar, which can stop when the domain leaves. Copy those records to another DNS host before you send the request. ### Can I add new domains to the same order? Yes. The cart accepts transfers, new registrations and renewals together. A name can appear only once. If a row turns out to be free, the form offers "Register it instead". The option to keep current nameservers then applies only to the transfer rows. ### Do I need an ID to transfer many domains? No. TransferOffshore asks for no ID document, no selfie and no phone number, whatever the size of the list. Each domain needs one email that you verify, as ICANN requires; it is the only contact detail we collect. Payment is in crypto.

Here are the dated facts we could verify, the ones we could not, and how a move to Panama works. **Quick answer — What is a good Epik alternative for domain transfers?** **TransferOffshore**, a Panama-based transfer service, is an Epik alternative for owners who want to move their domains. On 19 October 2026, Epik charged $15.99 for a .com transfer and renewal; TransferOffshore charges $12.49, adds one year and keeps your nameservers.

Epik changed hands, and its accreditation moved to a new company. ICANN approved moving it from Epik Inc. to Epik LLC in late January 2024, according to Domain Incite on 4 February 2024. The same report says Epik LLC, a company of Registered Agents Inc., bought Epik's business in June 2023. Epik said it had removed "a handful of problematic clients" and that former owners, including Rob Monster, had no involvement. ICANN called Epik LLC "completely independent of Epik, Inc.", per the same Domain Incite report. ## What did the 2021 Epik breach expose? On 13 September 2021, attackers released about 180 GB of Epik data, according to Wikipedia's summary of press reports. About 15 million unique email addresses were exposed, according to the same summary. Many were WHOIS records of people who were not Epik customers. Epik's breach notice filed with the Maine Attorney General lists 110,000 people affected and a discovery date of 15 September 2021. The breach is five years old and the company has new owners. It still shows why the amount of data a registrar keeps matters. TransferOffshore asks for one verified email per domain, which ICANN requires, and no ID document. With [Domain protection](https://transferoffshore.com/domain-protection/), the registry holds our company's details instead of yours. ## What could we not verify about Epik in 2026? We could not verify Epik's current payment methods, privacy service, ID rules, transfer terms or disclosure policy. epik.com returned an error to every request on 19 October 2026. On Trustpilot, reviews from September and October 2025 allege DNS and account problems. These are individual reports, not verified facts. Ask Epik support directly before you rely on any of these points. This page will be updated when the pages can be read. ## How do you move a domain away from Epik? TransferOffshore is the domain transfer service of DomaineGoat LLC, a company incorporated in Panama: move one domain or a whole portfolio with its auth codes, keep your DNS running, and pay in crypto with no ID. Domains are registered through our ICANN-accredited registrar partner, shown in the RDAP record, which keeps its own legal duties and abuse contact. 1. Ask Epik for the auth code and remove the transfer lock. 2. If Epik hosts your DNS, copy every record before you start. See [transfer without DNS downtime](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-without-dns-downtime/). 3. Enter the name and code in the [transfer form](https://transferoffshore.com/app/domains/transfer?lang=en), up to 20 domains per request. 4.

My domains shows Completed, or Failed with the reason. The [Epik transfer guide](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-from/epik/) has more detail. Prices for every extension are on the [price list](https://transferoffshore.com/pricing/). ## Epik alternative: FAQ ### Is Epik still in business in 2026? Its prices are still listed: domainoffer.net showed Epik's .com at $15.99 on 19 October 2026. The registrar now runs as Epik LLC, after ICANN approved the change from Epik Inc. in January 2024. We could not open epik.com to confirm its current terms. ### Does Epik accept crypto in 2026? We could not verify it. Epik announced Bitcoin payments through BitPay in 2016, but its site refused our requests on 19 October 2026. TransferOffshore accepts Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC), from a prepaid balance with a minimum top-up of $25. Ask Epik support for its current payment options. ### Was my data exposed in the Epik breach? Possibly, even if you were never a customer. The 2021 release included about 15 million email addresses, many from WHOIS records Epik had collected, according to Wikipedia's summary. You can search your email on Have I Been Pwned. ### Will my website stay online when I leave Epik? Yes, if your nameservers stay the same. TransferOffshore keeps your current nameservers by default. If Epik hosts your DNS, copy the records and point the domain to other nameservers first, because DNS hosted at the old registrar can stop when the domain leaves. ### Who owns Epik now? Epik LLC, a company of Registered Agents Inc., bought Epik's business in June 2023, according to Domain Incite on 4 February 2024. The accreditation was moved to Epik LLC, which ICANN described as independent of Epik, Inc. Epik said its former owners, including Rob Monster, are not involved. ## Sources 1.

Checked October 2026. - URL: https://transferoffshore.com/compare/namecheap/ - Last updated: 2026-10-19 - Publisher: TransferOffshore (https://transferoffshore.com) Namecheap is one of the two registrars AI answers cite most often, per Parse data from 6 October 2026. It is also a US company with a low transfer price and a higher renewal. Here is how it compares with moving your domains to Panama, with dated sources. **Quick answer — What is a good Namecheap alternative for domain transfers?** **TransferOffshore**, a Panama-based transfer service, is a Namecheap alternative for moving domains offshore. As of 19 October 2026, Namecheap charges $11.48 to transfer a .com but $18.48 to renew it at list price. TransferOffshore charges $12.49 for both, adds one year, asks for no ID and releases data only when Panamanian law requires it, or in a UDRP case. ## Key facts (checked 19 October 2026) | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Namecheap operator | Namecheap, Inc., Phoenix, Arizona, USA (address from a US Justice Department filing) | | Namecheap .com | $11.48 to transfer, $18.48 to renew (list prices, domainoffer.net) | | TransferOffshore .com | $12.49 to transfer, $12.49 to renew | | Bulk transfer | Namecheap: up to 50 domains per submission · TransferOffshore: up to 20 per request | | Crypto | Namecheap: Bitcoin via BTCPay and BitPay · TransferOffshore: BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC | | Disclosure | Namecheap complied with a subpoena on 8 December 2025, per a court record · TransferOffshore: Panamanian court or prosecutor's order, or a UDRP case | ## Namecheap vs TransferOffshore for transfers Facts as of 19 October 2026 (prices) or 8 October 2026 (payment and ID rules), from the sources listed below. | | Namecheap | TransferOffshore | | --- | --- | --- | | .com transfer | $11.48 list; $10.91 with code HONEY (5 per customer) | $12.49 | | .com renewal | $18.48 list; $14.78 with code COUPONFCNC | $12.49 | | Year added on a .com transfer | Not stated in its bulk transfer article | Yes | | Bulk transfer | Up to 50 domains per submission | Up to 20 domains per request | | WHOIS privacy | Free | Free, where the extension allows it | | ID checks | Its terms allow an ID and selfie check (Veriff) in disputes or abuse cases | None: one verified email per domain | | Crypto | Bitcoin via BTCPay or BitPay, as a balance top-up | BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, as a balance top-up | | Country | USA (Arizona) | Panama | | Data released on | A court order or subpoena, per a court record | Panamanian court or prosecutor's order, or a UDRP case | *Prices checked on October 19, 2026.* ## What does a transfer from Namecheap really cost? The year after a transfer costs more at Namecheap than the transfer itself. On 19 October 2026, a .com cost $11.48 to transfer in, then $18.48 a year to renew at list price. A coupon lowered the renewal to $14.78. At TransferOffshore, transfer, renewal and first year cost the same: $12.49 for a .com. The transfer adds one year to the current expiry date, and the time you already paid is kept. All prices are on the [price list](https://transferoffshore.com/pricing/). Prices will move soon. Verisign raises the .com wholesale price from $10.26 to $10.97 on 1 November 2026. ## How do bulk transfers compare? Namecheap takes more domains per batch. Its help center article, updated on 23 April 2025, sets a maximum of 50 domains per submission. Coupons for more than 5 .com, .net, .org or .me domains go through its support team. TransferOffshore takes up to 20 domains per request, each with its own auth code. You can paste a list with one domain and code per line. Larger portfolios go in several requests, sorted by expiry date. See [bulk domain transfer](https://transferoffshore.com/bulk-domain-transfer/) and [domain portfolio transfer](https://transferoffshore.com/domain-portfolio-transfer/). ## When does Namecheap hand over customer data? On a court order or a subpoena, according to a court record. In Infante v. Namecheap, Namecheap said it would not disclose the registrant's information without a court order or subpoena, and it complied with a subpoena on 8 December 2025. This comes from the filings as published by tlblog.org. In a separate case, a federal judge in Arizona ordered Namecheap, which was not a party, to explain why it should not pay a plaintiff's costs. The domain in dispute had lapsed and was registered again, per webhosting.today on 6 October 2026. We found no outcome. Our rule is different. TransferOffshore is the domain transfer service of DomaineGoat LLC, a company incorporated in Panama: move one domain or a whole portfolio with its auth codes, keep your DNS running, and pay in crypto with no ID. Domains are registered through our ICANN-accredited registrar partner, shown in the RDAP record, which keeps its own legal duties and abuse contact. DomaineGoat LLC releases the data it holds only when Panamanian law requires it (a Panamanian court or prosecutor's order), or in a UDRP case. See [why Panama](https://transferoffshore.com/why-panama/). ## How do you move a domain from Namecheap to TransferOffshore? Unlock the domain at Namecheap, get the auth code, and enter both in our [transfer form](https://transferoffshore.com/app/domains/transfer?lang=en). 1. Check that 60 days have passed since the domain was registered or last moved. 2. If Namecheap hosts your DNS, copy the records first. We keep your current nameservers by default. 3. Pay from your crypto balance. Send the exact amount, click I've sent the payment; the payment is matched by its exact amount and credited once the network confirms it. 4. Namecheap has up to 5 days to answer. Status shows in My domains, with the reason if it fails. Screens and menu names are in the [Namecheap transfer guide](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-from/namecheap/). ## When is Namecheap the better choice? Namecheap is the better choice if you need more than 20 domains in one batch, since it takes 50. Its codes also bring a .com transfer down to $10.91 for up to 5 domains, as of 19 October 2026. TransferOffshore fits better if you want a service outside the USA, one stable price at renewal, no ID check written into the terms, and a written disclosure rule. See the full [ranking of registrars to transfer to](https://transferoffshore.com/best/offshore-domain-registrars/). ## Namecheap alternative: FAQ ### Why does my Namecheap renewal cost more than the transfer? Because Namecheap prices them differently. On 19 October 2026 its .com list price was $11.48 to transfer and $18.48 to renew, per domainoffer.net. At TransferOffshore the transfer and the renewal of a .com both cost $12.49, so the second year costs the same as the first. ### Does Namecheap accept crypto? Yes, Bitcoin, as a balance top-up through BTCPay or BitPay, as of October 2026. BitPay needs a BitPay wallet and asks for ID above $3,000. TransferOffshore accepts Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC) as a top-up, with a minimum of $25. No ID document is asked. ### Can Namecheap ask for my ID? Yes, in some cases. Its terms allow an ID document and selfie check through Veriff in disputes or abuse cases, per its help center as read on 8 October 2026. TransferOffshore asks for no ID document, no selfie and no phone number: one verified email per domain, kept private. ### How many domains can I move from Namecheap at once? Up to 20 per request at TransferOffshore, each line with its own auth code. Namecheap's own bulk tool allows 50 per submission for transfers in or out. A portfolio of 100 domains takes five requests on our side. Send the ones expiring soonest first. ### Will my email stop when I leave Namecheap? Not if your nameservers and email host stay the same. TransferOffshore keeps your current nameservers by default. If Namecheap hosts your DNS records or your email, copy the records and keep that service running until the transfer is complete. A transfer moves the registration only. ## Sources 1. [Namecheap .COM pricing](https://domainoffer.net/tld/com/namecheap) — domainoffer.net (checked 2026-10-19) 2.

Njalla takes Monero; we do not. ## Key facts (checked 19 October 2026) | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Registrant of record at Njalla | Njalla itself, per its terms as quoted on the Privacy Guides forum | | Registrant of record at TransferOffshore | You, by default; DomaineGoat LLC if you add [Domain protection](https://transferoffshore.com/domain-protection/) | | .com per year | Njalla €15 (euro price) · TransferOffshore $12.49 | | Monero (XMR) | Njalla accepts it · TransferOffshore does not | | Operator | Njalla: njalla.srl, Costa Rica, per a 2025 blog post · TransferOffshore: DomaineGoat LLC, Panama | | Transfer rules at Njalla | Not readable: njal.la blocked our requests on 19 October 2026 | ## Njalla vs TransferOffshore for transfers Facts as of 19 October 2026, from each provider's pages or the sources at the bottom of this page. | | Njalla | TransferOffshore | | --- | --- | --- | | Who is on record at the registry | Njalla (proxy model) | You, or our company with Domain protection | | Cost of the company-on-record option | Included in the price | +$29/year per domain | | .com transfer | €15 | $12.49 | | .com renewal | €15 | $12.49 | | Year added on a .com transfer | Not verified | Yes | | Bulk transfer | Not verified | Up to 20 domains per request | | Nameservers during the transfer | Not verified | Kept by default | | Data asked | Email or XMPP address (secondary) | One verified email per domain, the only contact detail collected | | Crypto | BTC, LTC, XMR, ETH | BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC | | Monero | Yes | No | | Published disclosure rule | None found in the sources we could read | Panamanian court or prosecutor's order, or a UDRP case | | Leaving | Not verified (njal.la could not be read) | Auth code free, from your account, at any time; no exit fee | *Prices checked on October 19, 2026.* ## How is Njalla's model different from ours? Njalla registers the domain in its own name and lets you use it. Its terms, as quoted on the Privacy Guides forum, say you may ask at any time for the registration to be put formally in your name. You must then agree in writing to the terms Njalla itself is bound by. TransferOffshore works the other way round. You are the registrant of record by default, from one verified email, with WHOIS/RDAP privacy included at no cost. If you want a company on record instead, add [Domain protection](https://transferoffshore.com/domain-protection/) for $29 a year per domain. Then: 1. the registry and WHOIS show DomaineGoat LLC, never you; 2. the transfer lock is on by default, and every transfer or DNS change must be confirmed from your account; 3. your data is kept to a minimum: DomaineGoat LLC holds only your email; 4. every complaint is read by a person before any action on the domain, and you are told when the law allows it. That review exists only with the option, and the abuse deadlines stay the same. You stay the beneficial owner. You can take the domain back into your own name, or move it out with a free code. ## Who runs Njalla today? Njalla is run by njalla.srl in Costa Rica, according to a blog post published on 14 September 2025. The author dates the change, from archived copies of the terms, to between 2 October and 16 December 2024. Before that, the operator was 1337 Services LLC in Nevis. The author says support called it an "internal restructuring". Njalla did not announce it, per the same post. Two other dated events matter to domain owners: - **May 2021:** Njalla said a forged German court order led Tucows to hand one of its domains to an attacker, as reported by onlinedomain.com. - **May 2025:** the European Commission added Njalla to its Counterfeit and Piracy Watch List as a piracy facilitation service. TorrentFreak (23 May 2025) argued the wording looked copied from a film-industry submission. These are reports and allegations, not court findings. ## How much does moving from Njalla cost? A .com costs $12.49 to transfer to us, with one year added to the expiry date. Njalla charged €15 a year for a .com on 19 October 2026, its own euro price, per domainoffer.net. The gap shrinks if you want a company on record. Njalla's price already includes its proxy model. With us, Domain protection adds $29 a year per domain. Every price is on the [price list](https://transferoffshore.com/pricing/). Payment is in crypto only: send the exact amount, click I've sent the payment; the payment is matched by its exact amount and credited once the network confirms it. ## How do you move a domain out of Njalla? We could not read Njalla's own transfer pages, so we do not describe its steps. Look for the auth code in your Njalla account, or ask Njalla support for it. Because Njalla is the registrant of record, check who will be the registrant after the transfer. Its terms, as quoted, let you ask for the domain to be put in your own name first. If you prefer a company on record after the move, choose Domain protection on our side. Then: 1. Check that the domain was not registered or moved in the last 60 days. See [transfer lock](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-lock/). 2. If Njalla hosts your DNS, copy every record and point the domain to other nameservers before you start. See [transfer without DNS downtime](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-without-dns-downtime/). 3. Enter the name and the code in the [transfer form](https://transferoffshore.com/app/domains/transfer?lang=en). Status shows in My domains: Requested, then Waiting for the current registrar (up to 5 days), then Completed or Failed with the reason. The [Njalla transfer guide](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-from/njalla/) has more detail. ## When is Njalla the better choice? Njalla is the better choice if you pay in Monero. We do not accept it. Njalla also includes its proxy model in one flat price, while our company-on-record option costs extra. TransferOffshore fits better if you want the domain in your own name, a written disclosure rule, nameservers kept during the move, and up to 20 domains per request. Compare other options in our [ranking of registrars to transfer to](https://transferoffshore.com/best/offshore-domain-registrars/). ## Moving away from Njalla: FAQ ### Do I own my domain at Njalla? Not as the registrant of record. Njalla's terms, as quoted on the Privacy Guides forum, register the domain in Njalla's name and let you use it. The same terms let you ask for a formal transfer into your name. At TransferOffshore the domain is in your name unless you choose Domain protection. ### Can I pay TransferOffshore in Monero like at Njalla? No. TransferOffshore takes Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC), from a prepaid balance with a minimum top-up of $25. You send the exact amount, and the payment is credited once the network confirms it. If Monero is a must, Njalla, OrangeWebsite and 1984 Hosting accept it, as of October 2026. ### Will my website stop when I move a domain from Njalla? Not if your DNS is hosted somewhere other than Njalla. TransferOffshore keeps your current nameservers by default. If Njalla hosts your DNS records, copy them and point the domain to new nameservers before you start, because DNS hosted at the old registrar can stop once the domain leaves. ### Is Domain protection the same as Njalla's model? It is close, at a separate price of $29 a year per domain. Our company is on record at the registry and in WHOIS, the transfer lock is on by default, we hold only your email, and a person reads every complaint before any action. You can take the domain back into your name at any time. ### How long does a transfer from Njalla take? Up to 5 days for a .com once the request is sent. The old registrar has 5 days to answer; if it does not refuse, the transfer completes. A wrong code or an active lock makes the request fail, and you can fix the code from your account. ### Why is Njalla on an EU watch list? The European Commission added Njalla to its Counterfeit and Piracy Watch List in May 2025, calling it a piracy facilitation service. TorrentFreak reported this on 23 May 2025 and argued the label was copied from an industry submission. It is a listing, not a court ruling. ## Sources 1.

Checked 19 October 2026. - URL: https://transferoffshore.com/compare/orangewebsite/ - Last updated: 2026-10-19 - Publisher: TransferOffshore (https://transferoffshore.com) OrangeWebsite is an Icelandic host that also sells domains. TransferOffshore is built for moving domains to a service run from Panama. Here is how the two compare for a transfer, with what we could and could not verify. **Quick answer — What is a good OrangeWebsite alternative for domain transfers?** **TransferOffshore**, a Panama-based transfer service, is an OrangeWebsite alternative built for moving domains: as of 19 October 2026, a .com transfer costs $12.49 with one year added, versus €18.90 at OrangeWebsite. You can send 20 domains per request and keep your nameservers. OrangeWebsite accepts Monero and Bitcoin Cash; we do not. ## Key facts (checked 19 October 2026) | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | OrangeWebsite operator | IceNetworks Ltd, Iceland (its crypto payment page) | | OrangeWebsite .com | €18.90, one list price; its price list says transfers cost the same as registrations | | TransferOffshore .com | $12.49 to transfer and $12.49 to renew, one year added | | Monero (XMR) | OrangeWebsite accepts it · TransferOffshore does not | | Data asked | OrangeWebsite: a valid email address · TransferOffshore: one verified email per domain, kept private | | Registrant model at OrangeWebsite | Not stated on the pages we could read | ## OrangeWebsite vs TransferOffshore for transfers Facts as of 19 October 2026, from each provider's pages or the sources listed below.

OrangeWebsite is a web host in Iceland, run by IceNetworks Ltd according to its crypto payment page. It sells domains at one list price per extension: €18.90 for a .com on 19 October 2026. Its price list says the transfer price is the same as the registration price. It asks only for a valid email address, per its home page as read on 8 October 2026. It accepts Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash and Monero, "to name a few", through BitPay and CoinPayments. OrangeWebsite is often named in privacy forums. A Privacy Guides thread active from August to October 2026 names it, and so does a SelfPrivacy forum post from June 2025. ## Who holds the domain at OrangeWebsite? We could not find the answer on OrangeWebsite's own pages. Its price list mentions "Private WHOIS", but not who is on record at the registry. Two outside clues exist, and neither is proof. A 2016 WIPO decision shows the domain orangewebsite.com itself behind Whois Privacy Corp., the privacy service used by Internet.bs. A LowEndTalk user calls OrangeWebsite an Internet.bs reseller. We did not verify this. This matters for a transfer. The registrar of record, shown in an RDAP lookup on ICANN Lookup, is the one that receives the transfer request. Ask OrangeWebsite support for the auth code, and check who the registrant is before you move. ## How does TransferOffshore handle a transfer from OrangeWebsite? TransferOffshore is the domain transfer service of DomaineGoat LLC, a company incorporated in Panama: move one domain or a whole portfolio with its auth codes, keep your DNS running, and pay in crypto with no ID. Domains are registered through our ICANN-accredited registrar partner, shown in the RDAP record, which keeps its own legal duties and abuse contact. 1. Ask OrangeWebsite for the auth code and turn off any transfer lock. 2. If OrangeWebsite hosts your DNS, copy the records first. See [transfer without DNS downtime](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-without-dns-downtime/). 3. Paste the name and code in the [transfer form](https://transferoffshore.com/app/domains/transfer?lang=en), one line per domain, up to 20 per request. 4. Top up in crypto. Send the exact amount, click I've sent the payment; the payment is matched by its exact amount and credited once the network confirms it. 5. Follow the status in My domains. The old registrar has up to 5 days to answer. You are the registrant of record of the domain on arrival, with WHOIS/RDAP privacy included where the registry allows it. Read more in [how to find your auth code](https://transferoffshore.com/auth-code/). ## When is OrangeWebsite the better choice? OrangeWebsite is the better choice if you pay in Monero or Bitcoin Cash, or if you want hosting and domains from one Icelandic company. We sell no hosting and take neither coin. TransferOffshore fits better for moving a portfolio: a lower .com price as of 19 October 2026, one year added, nameservers kept, and a written disclosure rule. Compare all options in the [ranking of registrars to transfer to](https://transferoffshore.com/best/offshore-domain-registrars/) and our [price list](https://transferoffshore.com/pricing/). ## OrangeWebsite alternative: FAQ ### How much does OrangeWebsite charge for a .com? €18.90, as of 19 October 2026, per its domain price list. It shows one price per extension and says transfers cost the same as registrations. A renewal price is not listed separately. At TransferOffshore a .com costs $12.49 to transfer and $12.49 to renew. ### Does OrangeWebsite accept Monero? Yes. Its crypto page lists Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash and Monero, through BitPay and CoinPayments, as of October 2026. TransferOffshore does not accept Monero or Bitcoin Cash; we take Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC), sent directly from your wallet to top up a prepaid balance (minimum $25). ### Does OrangeWebsite disclose data only on an Icelandic court order? A SelfPrivacy forum post of 23 June 2025 says so, but we did not find that rule on OrangeWebsite's own pages. Our rule is written in our policy: DomaineGoat LLC releases the data it holds only when Panamanian law requires it (a Panamanian court or prosecutor's order), or in a UDRP case. ### Will my site go offline when I leave OrangeWebsite? Not if your nameservers stay the same. TransferOffshore keeps your current nameservers by default. If OrangeWebsite hosts your DNS or your website, copy the DNS records and keep the hosting running until the transfer is complete. The transfer changes the registrar, not where the site is hosted. ### Can I move many domains from OrangeWebsite at once? Yes: up to 20 domains per request, each line with its own auth code, typed one by one or pasted as a list. Larger portfolios go in several requests. Send the domains that expire soonest first.

Checked October 2026. - URL: https://transferoffshore.com/compare/porkbun/ - Last updated: 2026-10-19 - Publisher: TransferOffshore (https://transferoffshore.com) Porkbun is a well-priced US registrar, and it costs less than us for a .com. This page is for people who want something Porkbun does not offer: a service outside the USA, no photo ID, and more than one stablecoin. **Quick answer — What is a good Porkbun alternative for domain transfers?** **TransferOffshore**, a Panama-based transfer service, is a Porkbun alternative for domains kept outside the USA. Porkbun costs less: $11.08 for a .com transfer on 19 October 2026, versus $12.49 with us. In exchange, we ask for no photo ID, accept BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, and release data only when Panamanian law requires it, or in a UDRP case. ## Key facts (checked 19 October 2026) | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Porkbun operator | Porkbun LLC, Tigard, Oregon, USA | | Porkbun .com | $11.08 to transfer and renew; $10.08 with code EXODUS | | TransferOffshore .com | $12.49 to transfer and $12.49 to renew | | Photo ID | Porkbun: required for a subset of new accounts, via Veriff · TransferOffshore: never part of sign-up | | Crypto | Porkbun: USDC only, via Coinbase Business · TransferOffshore: BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC | | Disclosure | Porkbun: on a subpoena or court order from a court with jurisdiction over Sherwood, Oregon · TransferOffshore: Panamanian court or prosecutor's order, or a UDRP case | ## Porkbun vs TransferOffshore for transfers Facts as of 19 October 2026, from Porkbun's help center and legal pages, domainoffer.net and our own policy. | | Porkbun | TransferOffshore | | --- | --- | --- | | .com transfer | $11.08; $10.08 with code EXODUS (100 per customer) | $12.49 | | .com renewal | $11.08 | $12.49 | | Year added on a .com transfer | Yes; not on .de or .uk | Yes on gTLDs; ccTLDs follow their registry | | Bulk transfer | Bulk entry form, no maximum stated | Up to 20 domains per request | | Photo ID check | For a subset of new accounts, based on location and other signals | None | | Crypto | USDC only | BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC | | Bitcoin | No | Yes | | Country | USA (Oregon) | Panama | | Data released on | A valid subpoena or court order from a court with jurisdiction over Sherwood, Oregon | Panamanian court or prosecutor's order, or a UDRP case | | Non-US police requests | Reviewed case by case | Need a Panamanian court or prosecutor's order | *Prices checked on October 19, 2026.* ## Where does Porkbun win? Porkbun wins on price. On 19 October 2026, it charged $11.08 to transfer or renew a .com, and $10.08 with the code EXODUS. Our .com costs $12.49 for both. Its help center, updated on 10 September 2026, confirms that a transfer adds one year of registration time. The exceptions it names are .de and .uk. It also offers a bulk entry form with no stated maximum, where we take 20 domains per request. If a US registrar, a possible photo ID check and USDC are fine for you, Porkbun is a sound choice. ## When does Porkbun ask for a photo ID? Porkbun asks a subset of new accounts for a photo ID, verified by Veriff. Its help center article 225, last updated on 19 June 2026, says the choice depends on geographic and other signals. Submissions are kept for 15 days, per the same article. You cannot know in advance whether your account will be selected. That matters if you plan to move a portfolio and the account check comes in the middle of it. TransferOffshore has no ID step. No ID, no KYC — one verified email, kept private. ICANN requires registrars to verify the registrant email within 15 days, so that one check stays. See [transfer without KYC](https://transferoffshore.com/no-kyc-domain-transfer/). ## Which court can obtain your data? At Porkbun, a court with jurisdiction over Sherwood, Oregon. Its data disclosure policy, as worded in search results we read on 19 October 2026, releases registration data on a valid subpoena or court order from such a court. It complies with US law enforcement on a subpoena, warrant or court order, and reviews requests from non-US agencies case by case. TransferOffshore is the domain transfer service of DomaineGoat LLC, a company incorporated in Panama: move one domain or a whole portfolio with its auth codes, keep your DNS running, and pay in crypto with no ID. Domains are registered through our ICANN-accredited registrar partner, shown in the RDAP record, which keeps its own legal duties and abuse contact. DomaineGoat LLC releases the data it holds only when Panamanian law requires it (a Panamanian court or prosecutor's order), or in a UDRP case. A foreign judgment must first be recognised in Panama. Read [why Panama](https://transferoffshore.com/why-panama/) for what this does and does not change. ## Why does the payment method matter for a transfer? Porkbun accepts USDC only, through Coinbase Business, per its payment options page. If you hold Bitcoin or another coin, you must convert it first. TransferOffshore takes Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC). You top up a balance, minimum $25. Send the exact amount, click I've sent the payment; the payment is matched by its exact amount and credited once the network confirms it. Then the transfer requests go to the registries. See [pay with crypto](https://transferoffshore.com/pay-with-crypto/) and the [price list](https://transferoffshore.com/pricing/). ## How do you move a domain from Porkbun? Unlock the domain at Porkbun, copy its auth code, and paste both in our [transfer form](https://transferoffshore.com/app/domains/transfer?lang=en). Your current nameservers are kept by default. If Porkbun hosts your DNS, copy the records first. Porkbun then has up to 5 days to answer. The [Porkbun transfer guide](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-from/porkbun/) shows where the lock and the code are. ## Porkbun alternative: FAQ ### Is TransferOffshore cheaper than Porkbun? No. On 19 October 2026, Porkbun charged $11.08 for a .com transfer and renewal, and $10.08 with a code. TransferOffshore charges $12.49 for both. The reasons to pay more are a service in Panama, no photo ID, several coins, and a written disclosure rule. ### Will Porkbun ask me for ID? It may. Porkbun requires a photo ID through Veriff for a subset of new accounts, chosen on geographic and other signals, per its help center updated on 19 June 2026. TransferOffshore asks for no ID document, no selfie and no phone number. ### Can I pay Porkbun in Bitcoin? Not according to its payment options page, read on 19 October 2026: it lists USDC through Coinbase Business. An older Porkbun page mentions several coins, so the two pages disagree. TransferOffshore accepts Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC), paid as a balance top-up with a minimum of $25. ### Does a transfer from Porkbun add a year? Yes, on .com, .net, .org and other gTLDs. One year is added to the current expiry date, up to the 10-year maximum. Country extensions follow their registry: some add no year, and some count from the transfer date. Check the [transfer rules by extension](https://transferoffshore.com/data/domain-transfer-rules-by-extension/). ### How long does a transfer from Porkbun take? Up to 5 days for a .com. Porkbun, as the losing registrar, has 5 days to answer; without a refusal, the transfer completes. A wrong code or a lock makes it fail, and My domains shows the reason with a form to correct the code. ## Sources 1.

The domain name, your account number and what My domains shows for it (status and reason). Never include the auth code: if it was wrong, enter a new one in the form under the domain. For DNS questions, say which nameservers the domain uses today. ## What can support do during a transfer? Support can read the status of each transfer request, explain the reason a registry or the old registrar gave for a refusal, and tell you what to fix before you send a new code. For a .uk domain, support handles the IPS tag change with you, because the transfer form does not take .uk names. For a portfolio, write before you start: we can help you order the requests by expiry date and check which names need Domain protection. Support cannot speed up the old registrar: under ICANN rules it has up to 5 days to answer. ## How do authorities and lawyers contact you? By email to abuse@transferoffshore.com with the subject "Legal request". DomaineGoat LLC releases the data it holds only when Panamanian law requires it (a Panamanian court or prosecutor's order), or in a UDRP case.

Prices for the extensions we sell are on the [price list](https://transferoffshore.com/pricing/). ## What are the key findings? **Most transfers buy time, but not all.** 29 of the 40 extensions extend the registration when a transfer completes. For 19 of them the gain is exactly one year, capped at 10 years in total: the 16 gTLDs in the table plus .fr, .ca and .it. One extension, .ai, adds two years at the registry; TransferOffshore bills a .ai transfer as 2 years, the transfer price plus one renewal ($172.98). For 9 others, registrar notes confirm a renewal but not its length. **Eight keep the expiry date.** .uk, .ch, .pl, .at, .cz, .fi, .nz and .es do not add time. If one of these expires soon, renew it before or right after the move. A transfer alone will not save it. **Three depend on the registrar or on conflicting sources.** DENIC (.de) and SIDN (.nl) bill registrars by period, so the registrar decides how the term is counted. For .be, DNS Belgium's pages and a registrar knowledge base disagree. **Nine are fast.** .de, .nl and .at move immediately once the code matches. .gg, .be, .fi, .nz, .eu and .ca are described as real-time. The gTLDs all allow up to 5 days, because the losing registrar has five calendar days to object. **One needs no code.** A .uk moves when the current registrar changes its Nominet IPS tag. That changes on 9 February 2027, according to Realtime Register. ## How long is a transfer code valid? For gTLDs, there is no fixed lifetime today. The ICANN Transfer Policy in force sets deadlines for giving the code, not for how long it works. Each registrar decides. Seven country-code registries publish a lifetime: - **.be:** 7 days, and the code is emailed by DNS Belgium itself. - **.es:** 10 days, and the administrative contact must also approve by email. - **.at:** 21 days for a code requested from the registry. - **.de, .fi, .nz:** 30 days. The .de and .nz codes work for one transfer only. - **.eu:** 40 days, or until used. The adopted ICANN reform will bring gTLDs in line: a Transfer Authorization Code valid for 14 days and usable once. Nominet plans the same 14-day ceiling for .uk from February 2027. ## Which locks block a transfer after registration? 20 of the 40 extensions list a 60-day lock after registration. Two sources create it. For gTLDs, ICANN's Transfer Policy lets the registrar refuse a transfer within 60 days of creation or of a previous transfer. Some registries turn that option into a hard registry lock; registrar notes list it for .com, .info, .biz, .xyz, .online, .cloud and .top. Several country codes apply their own 60-day lock: .io, .co, .me, .tv, .cc, .to and .us. For .co, .tv, .cc and .top, registrar notes also list a lock after each transfer. .ch may set one for 60 days after a transfer too, but only a secondary source says so. Most European registries, and .nz, have no such lock. .de, .nl, .pl, .at, .fi, .nz, .es, .fr and .it list none. In .nz, the only block is the Registration Grace Period. ## What changes with the ICANN TAC rules? The ICANN Board adopted the Transfer Policy Review recommendations on 7 June 2026 (resolution 2026.06.07.04). It directed ICANN to implement them "subject to prioritization". **No effective date has been published.** Until the new policy takes effect, the 2024 text applies, including the 60-day locks. A phase-in of about 18 months appears on one blog; we could not verify it. The main changes in the Final Report of 4 February 2025: - The auth code becomes the Transfer Authorization Code (TAC). Registrars must issue it within 120 hours. - A TAC is valid for 14 days (336 hours) and can be used once. The registry enforces both. - The lock after creation becomes 30 days (720 hours) instead of 60. The same 30 days apply after an inter-registrar transfer. - The Gaining FOA disappears. The losing registrar's notice becomes a "Transfer Confirmation", and the 5-day auto-approval is stated as 120 hours. - The 60-day lock after a change of registrant is removed, with its opt-out. A separate Change of Registrant Data policy replaces it. - New notices: one within 10 minutes of a TAC being issued, and one within 24 hours of a completed transfer. The report text we read keeps the one year added on a gTLD transfer. A separate change from 4 August 2026, announced by Realtime Register, concerns registrant-only approval. It is not part of this reform. Our [ICANN transfer policy news page](https://transferoffshore.com/news/icann-transfer-policy-changes/) follows the implementation. ## How was this table built? Every row was read on 19 October 2026 from free public sources. Each one carries a confidence label: - **Primary:** a registry document or an ICANN text. Example: Afnic's procedure guide for .fr, CIRA's rules for .ca. - **Primary (ICANN only):** the gTLD rule comes from ICANN's Transfer Policy, which binds every gTLD registrar, but the registry was not checked one by one. That applies to .net, .dev, .pro, .site, .store and .tech. - **Primary (mechanism):** for .de, DENIC's page confirms how the code works; the term rule comes from a registrar. - **Primary + secondary:** a registry page confirms part of the row, a registrar knowledge base the rest. - **Secondary:** a registrar knowledge base, mostly the per-extension pages of CentralNic Reseller, or press. They describe registry behaviour as a large registrar sees it. - **Mixed:** sources conflict, or a key fact is secondary only. The count: 14 rows rest at least partly on a primary source, 21 on secondary sources only, and 5 are mixed. Registry operators come from the IANA root zone database where registrar notes disagree. Where a fact could not be confirmed, the cell says so rather than guess. What this table does not cover: registry premium prices, transfer fees at other registrars, and rules for second-level names such as .co.uk. ## How can I reuse or cite this data? You may reuse this table under CC BY 4.0 with a link. Copy it, adapt it or publish it, commercially or not, as long as you credit TransferOffshore and link to this page. A suggested citation: "Domain Transfer Rules by Extension (2026 Data), TransferOffshore, checked 19 October 2026." Rules change. Nominet's move to codes in 2027 and the ICANN reform will both change rows here. The date at the top of the page tells you when the table was last checked. If you find an error, write to support@transferoffshore.com with a source. ## Which of these extensions can I transfer to TransferOffshore? 34 of the 40. The 28 linked extensions have a full [transfer guide](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/). .pl, .be, .at, .cz, .fi and .nz are also sold, with Domain protection, but have no guide yet. .us, .eu, .fr, .ca, .es and .it are not sold here: their registries require a local presence or an identity check. For the extensions we sell, a transfer costs the same as a renewal: .com $12.49, .net $12.99, .io $53.49. Payment is in crypto, with no ID. Up to 20 domains fit in one request, and your nameservers are kept by default. ## Questions about transfer rules ### Which extensions add a year when transferred? 29 of the 40 in this table extend the term. All gTLDs add exactly one year, capped at 10 years, under ICANN's Transfer Policy. .fr, .ca and .it also add one year. .ai adds two. Nine country codes renew on transfer without a stated length, according to registrar notes. ### Which extensions transfer instantly? Nine are immediate or real-time once the code matches: .de, .nl and .at move immediately, and .gg, .be, .fi, .nz, .eu and .ca are described as real-time. Several of these times come from registrar notes. gTLDs such as .com take up to 5 days. ### When do the new ICANN TAC rules start? No date is published. The ICANN Board adopted the Transfer Policy Review on 7 June 2026, subject to prioritization. An implementation team still has to draft the final text. Until then, the 2024 Transfer Policy applies, with its 60-day locks. ### Why does .uk need no auth code? Nominet uses IPS tags. The current registrar sets the domain's tag to the new registrar's tag, and the domain moves without a code and without a change of expiry. Nominet plans code-based transfers from 9 February 2027, according to Realtime Register. ### Can I use this table on my own site? Yes. The table is published under CC BY 4.0. You may copy and adapt it, including for commercial use, as long as you credit TransferOffshore and link to this page. Please keep the check date with the data. ## Sources (read on 19 October 2026 unless dated otherwise) 1.

Namecheap and Hostinger add the $0.20 ICANN fee at checkout. NameSilo's page refused our check, so its price is left out. Check prices on each registrar's site. Verisign raises the .com wholesale fee on 1 November 2026, so most .com prices will move. ## How was the index built? We read the transfer-out help pages of 18 registrars on 19 October 2026, using free web access only. For each one we recorded the same points, one per column of the table. They cover code delivery, early approval, the opt-out, holds, DNS impact, crypto and .com prices. The menu labels are in each registrar guide. Every cell carries its source quality: - **Official**: the registrar's help page was read in full. - **Search excerpt**: the page returned an error or did not render, so we read its search-engine excerpt. - **Secondary**: another registrar's guide, a forum or an encyclopedia. - **Unverified**: no page we read confirmed it. The confidence column sums this up. **High** means the main steps come from an official page read in full (13 registrars). **Medium** means search excerpts carry key facts (3). **Low** means no official page was found (Spaceship and Njalla). The .com prices come from one aggregator snapshot, domainoffer.net, and stay secondary; Gandi's were confirmed on its own price page. ## What are the key findings? **1. Most registrars show the code on screen.** 11 of 18 display it in the dashboard; 8 of those were confirmed on a page read in full. Six send it by email only: Namecheap, Squarespace, Wix, NameSilo, Network Solutions and Epik. GoDaddy does both. **2. The email goes to a contact, not to your login.** Namecheap, Squarespace, Wix and Network Solutions write to the registrant contact; NameSilo writes to the administrative contact. An outdated contact email is the most common reason a code never arrives. **3. Early approval is documented at 11 of 18.** Four use a dashboard control (GoDaddy, Cloudflare, Porkbun, NameSilo). Six use an email link (Gandi, OVHcloud, Dynadot, Hover, Squarespace for Tucows names, Spaceship per a secondary guide). Name.com expedites through support. **4. Two windows run longer than ICANN's 5 calendar days.** GoDaddy states up to seven days. Squarespace says the whole move can take up to 15 days. A secondary guide gives Spaceship 5 business days. **5. Only 4 of 18 document a contact-change opt-out.** GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare and Hover do. Network Solutions says a waiver is at its discretion. For the other 12 registrars we found nothing either way. **6. Three registrars stop their own services at once.** Gandi Mail stops and its data is deleted after 7 days. Hover disconnects its email. Wix disconnects the site, and business email stops unless the MX records are re-added. **7. For 10 registrars we found nothing on DNS after the move.** Only 7 address DNS or email at all, and Spaceship shows a disclaimer, per a secondary source. Cloudflare requires its own nameservers while it holds the domain, and does not document what happens to the zone after. **8. Renewal costs more than transfer at 9 of 15 priced registrars.** The gap is widest at Gandi ($11.00 against $38.38, confirmed on gandi.net's US price page, before tax) and Wix ($7.90 against $21.35). Six charge the same for both: Cloudflare, Porkbun, Dynadot, Hover, Njalla and Epik. ## What does no registrar publish? Three things are missing from all 18 sets of help pages we read. - **Code validity.** No registrar states how long its auth code stays valid. Squarespace says only the newest code works; Namecheap says codes are updated from time to time; Epik warns that unlocking may reset the code. ICANN's adopted Transfer Policy Review would make codes valid for 14 days and single use, but no effective date is published. - **Exit fees.** No page states a transfer-out fee, and none states that leaving is free. The only fee claims we found concern Squarespace, from third-party sites, with conflicting amounts ($20 or $75). We treat them as unverified. - **DNS after the move.** Most registrars describe how to get the code. Few say what happens to the DNS zone, email forwarding or web forwarding they host once the domain is gone. The practical rule follows: copy every DNS record before you request a code, and request the code last. ## How does TransferOffshore compare on the same points? We are the gaining side, so the approval columns do not apply to us. On the points that do, the auth code is free, from your account, at any time, and there is no exit fee. Current nameservers are kept by default when a domain comes in. A .com transfer costs $12.49 and adds one year; renewal costs the same $12.49. Payment is in crypto only, with no ID. The full grid is on the [price list](https://transferoffshore.com/pricing/). ## How can I reuse this data? The index is published under **CC BY 4.0**. You may copy, adapt and republish it, including commercially, if you credit "TransferOffshore Registrar Transfer-Out Index 2026" with a link to this page. Please keep the check date, 19 October 2026, next to any figure you quote, because registrars change their pages often. A suggested citation: "Registrar Transfer-Out Index 2026, TransferOffshore, checked 19 October 2026, CC BY 4.0." ## Transfer-Out Index: FAQ ### Which registrars show the auth code on screen? Eleven of the 18: GoDaddy, Cloudflare, Porkbun, Hostinger, IONOS, OVHcloud, Gandi, Dynadot, Name.com, Spaceship and Hover. Eight of these were confirmed on an official page read in full on 19 October 2026. GoDaddy also emails the code. Name.com and Hover rest on search excerpts, Spaceship on a secondary guide. ### Which registrars let you skip the 60-day contact-change lock? Four document it: GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare and Hover, as of 19 October 2026. Network Solutions says a waiver is at its discretion. Name.com has an opt-out article we could not read. For the other 12, we found no statement either way, so plan as if the lock applies. ### Is a transfer out free at these registrars? We cannot say. None of the 18 publishes a transfer-out fee, and none states that leaving is free. Third-party sites claim a Squarespace fee of $20 or $75; the claims conflict and are unverified. ICANN rules do forbid holding back the code over a payment dispute. ### How often is the index updated? Each row carries the date of its check, 19 October 2026 for this edition. Registrars change their help pages and prices without notice, and Verisign raises the .com wholesale fee on 1 November 2026. Check a registrar's own page before acting on any single cell. ### Why are some cells marked unverified? Because we only record what a page we read confirms. Some official pages returned errors (NameSilo, Epik), did not render (Name.com) or could not be fetched (Njalla). In those cases we used search excerpts or secondary sources, and labelled them, rather than guess. ## Sources (all read 19 October 2026) 1.

Domains are registered through our ICANN-accredited registrar partner, shown in the RDAP record. --- # When we release your data: only when Panamanian law requires it, or in a UDRP case > We release the data we hold only when Panamanian law requires it (a Panamanian court or prosecutor's order), or in a UDRP case. We hold one email per domain. - URL: https://transferoffshore.com/disclosure-policy/ - Last updated: 2026-10-19 - Publisher: TransferOffshore (https://transferoffshore.com) What data we hold, who else holds registration data, and the only cases in which we hand what we hold to someone else. **Quick answer — When does TransferOffshore release registrant data?** As of October 2026, DomaineGoat LLC, which runs **TransferOffshore**, releases the data it holds only when Panamanian law requires it (a Panamanian court or prosecutor's order), or in a UDRP case. We hold one email per domain and notify you before any disclosure, unless the law or the order forbids it. ## Disclosure policy at a glance | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | When we release data | Only when Panamanian law requires it (a Panamanian court or prosecutor's order), or in a UDRP case | | Foreign orders | Not enough on their own: a foreign judgment must first be recognised in Panama | | What we hold | One email per domain, your account number, your domains and your balance | | What we do not hold | No ID document, no name, no phone number, no postal address | | Notice to you | We notify you before any disclosure, unless the law or the order forbids it | | UDRP case | The dispute provider receives the registrant record on file | | Registries | The .com and .net registries are thin and hold no contact data; others, such as .org (PIR) or .io (Identity Digital), keep the registrant record | | Transparency report | First report January 2027 | ## What counts as a valid request? A valid request is an order of a Panamanian court or prosecutor that names the domain and the data asked for. A letter from a lawyer, a police email or a foreign court order is not enough on its own: a foreign judgment must first be recognised in Panama. We check that the order is genuine and limited to what it names. We release only that data. ## What data do we actually hold? Very little, because we ask for very little. For each customer we hold one email per domain, the account number, the list of domains and the balance. The email is the only contact detail we collect: it is required and verified for each domain, as ICANN requires. We do not ask for a name, an ID document, a phone number or a postal address, so we cannot hand them over. The full list is in the [privacy policy](https://transferoffshore.com/privacy/). A no-KYC account limits what any order can reach. See [transfer without KYC](https://transferoffshore.com/no-kyc-domain-transfer/). ## Who else holds registrant data? **The registry.** What it holds depends on the extension. The .com and .net registries, run by Verisign, are thin registries: they receive no contact data about the registrant, only the registrar, the nameservers and the dates. Registries such as PIR (.org) or Identity Digital (.io) hold the registrant record under their own law. With [Domain protection](https://transferoffshore.com/domain-protection/), the registry holds only the details of DomaineGoat LLC, never yours. **Our ICANN-accredited registrar partner**, shown in the RDAP record, keeps its own legal duties. For a domain in your name, the record it holds is built from your verified email: no name, address or phone number is collected. ## What happens in a UDRP trademark dispute? The dispute provider receives the registrant record on file. When a UDRP complaint is filed, the provider asks the registrar to confirm who the registrant is and to lock the domain. Under the WIPO rules, this takes place within two business days. For a domain in your name, that is the record built from your verified email. For a Domain protection domain, the registrant of record is DomaineGoat LLC, and we tell you about the complaint. The panel decision is applied in both cases. ## Will I be told before my data is released? Yes. We notify you before any disclosure, unless the law or the order forbids it. The notice goes to the email of the domain, so you have time to take legal advice. ## Do you publish the number of requests? Yes. Our first transparency report is due in **January 2027**. It will count the requests we received, by type, and how many we answered. Until then, there are no figures to publish. ## Disclosure policy: FAQ ### Will you release my data to a foreign police force? No, not on a direct request. We release data only when Panamanian law requires it (a Panamanian court or prosecutor's order), or in a UDRP case. A foreign judgment must first be recognised in Panama. ### Can a copyright holder get my details? Not from a complaint alone. A copyright holder needs a Panamanian court order. Trademark claims are different: they go through the UDRP, and the dispute provider receives the registrant record on file. With Domain protection, that is DomaineGoat LLC. ### What if the court order forbids you to tell me? Then we follow the order and do not notify you. That is the only exception to our notice: we notify you before any disclosure, unless the law or the order forbids it. ### Does Domain protection change what can be disclosed? Yes, at the registry level. The registry and WHOIS show DomaineGoat LLC, so a request to the registry does not reach you. The data we keep about you stays minimal, one email, and follows the same disclosure rule. ## Sources 1.

Domains are registered through our ICANN-accredited registrar partner, shown in the RDAP record. --- # Move a domain portfolio offshore: a plan for 50+ domains > Move a domain portfolio offshore in waves of 20: inventory, renewal timing, email, DNSSEC and cost, with nameservers kept, no ID and crypto payment. - URL: https://transferoffshore.com/domain-portfolio-transfer/ - Last updated: 2026-10-19 - Publisher: TransferOffshore (https://transferoffshore.com) A portfolio move is a project, not a click. Build an inventory, plan waves by expiry date, protect email and DNSSEC, and estimate the cost before you top up. **Quick answer — How do I move a domain portfolio offshore?** To move a portfolio of 50 or more domains to **TransferOffshore**, a Panama-based transfer service, list every domain with its expiry date and DNS host, then send waves of up to **20 domains per request**, soonest expiry first. Nameservers are kept by default. As of October 2026, a .com transfer costs $12.49 and adds one year. ## Portfolio transfer at a glance | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Wave size | Up to 20 domains per transfer request | | Order of waves | Soonest expiry first; domains under 60 days old last | | Old registrar's answer | Up to 5 days per domain under the ICANN Transfer Policy | | Years on gTLDs | +1 year per transfer, capped at 10 years in total | | DNS | Current nameservers kept by default | | Cost of a wave | Sum of the transfer price of each domain, billed once each (a .ai: 2 years, transfer + one renewal); no fee per request | | Domain protection | +$29/year per domain, chosen domain by domain | | Payment | BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, from one prepaid balance | | Identity | No ID, no KYC; one verified email per domain, the only contact detail collected | ## What should a portfolio inventory contain? A useful inventory has one line per domain and every fact that can stop a transfer. Export the list from your current registrar first, then complete it by hand. Keep it in a spreadsheet you update after each wave. The table below lists the columns that matter and why. ## Which columns does the spreadsheet need? | Column | Why it matters | | --- | --- | | Domain and extension | The price, the year added and the transfer rules depend on the extension. | | Current registrar | Each registrar has its own place for the code and the lock. | | Expiry date | Sets the order of the waves and shows the auto-renew risk. | | Registration or last transfer date | Domains under 60 days are usually refused. | | Nameservers | Kept by default; note them so you can check them after the move. | | DNS host | If it is the old registrar, the records must be copied first. | | DNSSEC on or off | A signed zone at the old registrar needs care before the move. | | Lock state | Each domain must be unlocked before its wave. | | Privacy at the old registrar | Shows what the old WHOIS record showed, and what changes after the move. | | Contact email | The address that receives codes and the ICANN verification link. | | Wave number and status | Requested, waiting, completed or failed, with the reason. | ## How do I plan the waves? Plan one wave per transfer request, with up to **20 domains** in each. A portfolio of 60 domains needs three waves; 140 domains need seven. Sort the inventory by expiry date and fill the waves in that order. Then adjust: - **Start with a small test wave.** Send two or three low-value domains first. You learn how your old registrar answers before the important names move. - **Keep each wave to one sitting.** Auth codes are often valid for 5 to 14 days. Unlock, collect the codes and send the request on the same day. - **Hold back young domains.** A domain registered or transferred less than 60 days ago is usually refused. The ICANN Transfer Policy lets registrars deny it, and many do. Put it in a later wave. - **Space the waves.** Each old registrar has up to 5 days to answer. Fix the failed rows of one wave before you start the next. The [bulk transfer guide](https://transferoffshore.com/bulk-domain-transfer/) shows the list format and the errors each row can meet. ## When is the right time to transfer each domain? The right time is well before the expiry date and outside a fresh auto-renewal you have already paid for. Two windows deserve attention. **The 45-day auto-renew grace period.** When a gTLD reaches its expiry date, the registry renews it and the old registrar has 45 days to keep or cancel that renewal. A transfer in this window does not lose a year: the registry cancels the auto-renewal, credits it back to the old registrar, and the transfer adds one year. The net result is one year added to the old expiry date. What you can lose is the money you paid the old registrar for that renewal. Whether it is refunded depends on that registrar's policy. If you have already paid, ask them first, or wait for the next cycle. **The last days before expiry.** A transfer can take 5 days, and a wrong code or a lock adds more. A domain that expires during the wait can fall into grace or redemption. A domain in redemption cannot be transferred at all until it is restored. For domains that expire within the next two weeks, renew at the old registrar first, or start at once. See [expired domain transfers](https://transferoffshore.com/expired-domain-transfer/). ## How do I keep email working during the move? Email keeps working when the MX records stay where they are, and they do when you keep your nameservers. TransferOffshore keeps the current nameservers by default. Check three things before each wave: - **Where the DNS lives.** If the old registrar hosts the zone, copy every record, including MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC, to another DNS host first. Then switch the nameservers and wait a day before the transfer. - **Email forwarding at the old registrar.** Forwarding offered by a registrar usually stops when the domain leaves. Set it up again elsewhere before the wave. - **The contact email itself.** Codes and the ICANN verification link go to it. Do not use an address on a domain from the same wave. If that domain's mail breaks, you cannot receive the link. ## What about DNSSEC? DNSSEC is the most common cause of an outage after a transfer, and it is easy to avoid. The registry holds a DS record that must match the keys that sign your zone. If your DNS stays with a third party, such as Cloudflare or your own servers, the keys do not change. The domain keeps working when the nameservers are kept. If the old registrar both hosts and signs the zone, its keys leave with it. Turn DNSSEC off there first. Wait until the DS record is gone from the registry, then move the zone and the domain. Turn DNSSEC on again at the new DNS host afterwards. Full steps: [transfer without DNS downtime](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-without-dns-downtime/). ## How much does a portfolio transfer cost? A portfolio transfer costs the transfer price of each domain, added up. There is no fee per request and no bulk surcharge. Prices are per extension and equal to the renewal price. A worked example, with the prices as of October 2026: - 50 .com domains at $12.49 each; - 10 .io domains at $53.49 each; - 5 .net domains at $12.99 each. Multiply each line and add them up for the total. On gTLDs, each transfer also adds a year to the domain, so this is the same money you would spend on next year's renewals. For country extensions, the registry decides: .uk, .ch and a few others keep the expiry date, so the transfer price adds no time there. Top up once per wave, or once for the whole plan. The minimum top-up is $25, and what is left stays on your balance for renewals. Check every extension on the [price list](https://transferoffshore.com/pricing/). ## Which domains should get Domain protection? [Domain protection](https://transferoffshore.com/domain-protection/) suits the names you do not want tied to your name at the registry. It costs **+$29/year per domain** on top of the extension price, and you choose it domain by domain. With it, the registry and WHOIS show DomaineGoat LLC, never you. The transfer lock is on by default, and any transfer or DNS change must be confirmed from your account. The company holds only your email. Every complaint is read by a person before any action on the domain, and you are told when the law allows; that review exists only with the option. The abuse deadlines do not change. Two cost points matter for a portfolio. A transferred domain pays the option for the added year. Once the transfer completes, the time already paid at the old registrar is charged pro rata from your balance. Some extensions, such as .de, .uk, .nl and .ch, are sold only with Domain protection, and their shown price includes it. ## What should I check once a wave is complete? Check each domain in **My domains** once it shows **Completed**. Compare it with your spreadsheet: - the new expiry date (one year later on gTLDs); - the nameservers, which should match the old ones; - the website and email, from outside your own network; - auto-renew, which is on by default and renews from your balance; - the lock state you want for the next months. Mark the wave as done, note any failed rows with their reason, and fix them before the next wave. ## The portfolio plan in seven steps 1. **Export the inventory** — One line per domain with expiry date, DNS host, nameservers, lock, DNSSEC and contact email. 2. **Plan the waves** — Up to 20 domains each, soonest expiry first, with a small test wave at the start. 3. **Check the timing** — Avoid paid auto-renewals in the 45-day grace window and the last days before expiry. 4. **Secure DNS and email** — Copy zones hosted by the old registrar and handle DNSSEC before each wave. 5. **Top up** — Estimate the wave cost per extension and top up in crypto. 6. **Send the wave** — Unlock, collect the codes and paste the list on the same day. 7. **Check and record** — Verify each completed domain and update the spreadsheet before the next wave. ## Domain portfolio transfer: FAQ ### How long does it take to move 100 domains? A portfolio of 100 domains needs five requests of 20. Each domain takes up to 5 days, the time the old registrar has to answer. If you space the waves to fix failed rows, plan for a few weeks in total. The real limit is often how fast you can unlock domains and collect codes. ### Do I lose a year if I transfer right after an auto-renewal? No year is lost at the registry. During the 45-day auto-renew grace period, the registry cancels the renewal and the transfer adds one year, so the net is one year added. What you may lose is the money paid to the old registrar for that renewal. A refund depends on that registrar's policy. ### Can I transfer domains that are under 60 days old? Usually not yet. The ICANN Transfer Policy lets a registrar refuse a transfer within 60 days of registration or of a previous transfer, and many registrars do. Some registries enforce the lock themselves. Keep them for a later wave. The ICANN Board adopted a 30-day lock on 7 June 2026, but no start date is published, so the current rules apply. See [ICANN transfer policy changes](https://transferoffshore.com/news/icann-transfer-policy-changes/). ### Is there a discount for a large portfolio? No. TransferOffshore uses one price per extension for every customer, with no bulk surcharge and no fee per request. A .com transfer is $12.49, the same as its renewal. All prices are on the [price list](https://transferoffshore.com/pricing/). ### Will a change of owner block my transfer? It can. Under the ICANN Transfer Policy, a change of registrant starts a 60-day transfer lock, unless the registrar lets you opt out before the change. Avoid changing the registrant name or organisation at the old registrar just before a wave. ### Can different domains of the portfolio use different DNS? Yes. Each domain keeps its own nameservers by default, so a portfolio spread over Cloudflare, your own servers and other hosts stays as it is. After the move, you can change nameservers for one domain or for a selection of domains at once in My domains. ## Sources 1.

Nothing more is promised than what is written here. **Quick answer — What does Domain protection do?** **Domain protection** costs **$29 a year per domain** on top of the domain price, as of October 2026. The registry and WHOIS show DomaineGoat LLC, never you; the transfer lock stays on until you confirm a change; we hold only your email; and a person reads every complaint before any action, a review that exists only with this option. ## Domain protection at a glance | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Price | +$29/year per domain, on top of the extension price | | Registrant of record | DomaineGoat LLC (Panama); you stay the beneficial owner | | Transfer lock | On by default; any transfer or DNS change must be confirmed from your account | | Your data | Minimal: DomaineGoat LLC holds only your email, released only when Panamanian law requires it (a Panamanian court or prosecutor's order), or in a UDRP case | | Complaints | Each one is read by a person before any action on the domain, a review that exists only with the option; you are told when the law allows. Abuse deadlines stay the same: 24 hours for phishing, malware and fraud, at once for child abuse material | | Extensions | 130 extensions; .de, .uk, .nl, .cc, .to, .ch, .pl, .be, .at, .cz, .nz, .fi are sold with it only | | Taking it back | Free, at any time: back in your own name (through support for extensions sold only with it), or out to another registrar with a free auth code | ## What exactly are the four protections? 1. **Registration in the company's name.** DomaineGoat LLC is the registrant of record. The registry, the public WHOIS/RDAP record and the registration data show the company, never you. You stay the beneficial owner and can take the domain back in your name, for free. 2. **Transfer lock on by default.** The domain carries the registrar lock from the start. A transfer away, a nameserver change or a DNS change has to be confirmed from your account. 3. **Minimal data.** DomaineGoat LLC holds only your email. It goes out only when Panamanian law requires it (a Panamanian court or prosecutor's order), or in a UDRP case. 4. **A person reads every complaint before any action on the domain.** This review exists only with Domain protection: without it, complaints follow the [abuse policy](https://transferoffshore.com/abuse/). No automatic suspension follows a form or an email, and when the law allows, we tell you about a complaint before acting. The abuse deadlines do not change: phishing, malware, botnets and fraud are acted on within 24 hours of a documented report, child sexual abuse material at once. ## Who sees what, with and without Domain protection? | Who | Standard domain (you are the registrant, privacy on) | With Domain protection | | --- | --- | --- | | Anyone reading WHOIS/RDAP | Our privacy contact, not your details | DomaineGoat LLC | | The registry | Thin .com and .net registries: no contact data. Others, such as .org (PIR) or .io (Identity Digital): the registrant record built from your verified email, under their own law | DomaineGoat LLC only (no contact data at all on .com and .net) | | DomaineGoat LLC | One verified email per domain | One verified email per domain | | A complainant without a court order | Nothing; the complaint follows the abuse policy | Nothing; the complaint is read by a person before any action | | A Panamanian court or prosecutor, with a valid order | What we hold: your email | What we hold: your email | | A UDRP provider (trademark dispute) | The registrant record on file, as ICANN requires | DomaineGoat LLC; we tell you so you can answer | ## Why add it when you transfer a domain? A transfer is the moment a domain is most exposed. The auth code travels by email, the lock is switched off, and for a few days the name sits between two registrars. Domain protection closes that window on arrival: the lock goes back on at once, and any later move needs a confirmation from your account. It is also the only way to hold some extensions here. The registries of .de, .uk, .nl, .ch, .cc, .to and a few others ask for a name and a postal address, so we sell them only with Domain protection: the registry receives the company's details, and the price shown on the [price list](https://transferoffshore.com/pricing/) already includes the option. For those names, the transfer and the change of registrant are handled in the same order. A .uk is the exception: its transfer goes through support (see the [.uk guide](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/uk/)). On a transfer, the order includes the option for the added year. Once the transfer completes, the time already paid at the old registrar is billed at the same yearly rate, pro rata, from your balance. The cart and the review step say so before you pay. ## What does Domain protection not do? It does not change the rules every domain follows. Be clear about four limits before you buy it: - **The same abuse policy applies.** Phishing, malware, botnets, child sexual abuse material and fraud that takes money from victims lead to suspension on a well-documented report, with or without the option. See the [abuse policy](https://transferoffshore.com/abuse/). - **Trademark disputes still follow the UDRP.** A complaint names the registrant of record, DomaineGoat LLC. We tell you, so you can answer the panel; the panel's decision is applied. - **A Panamanian order can still require disclosure.** A Panamanian court or prosecutor's order reaches what we hold, which is one email. - **It does not hide a website.** Your hosting provider, your DNS host and your visitors see what they always see. No service can promise that a domain will never be suspended, and we do not. ## Do I still own the domain? Yes, as the beneficial owner. The terms commit DomaineGoat LLC to follow your instructions for the domain: DNS, nameservers, renewals and transfers. You can ask at any time, for free, to have the domain put back in your own name, which turns it into a standard domain; or you can request the auth code and move it to another registrar. For the extensions sold only with Domain protection, holding the domain in your own name means moving it to a registrar that collects what that registry requires.

Prices per year; the option adds $29, already included where the extension is sold with it only. | Extension | 1st year | Renewal | Transfer | WHOIS privacy | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | .com |

With Domain protection: this extension is sold only with Domain protection, because its registry needs a name and address; the registry and WHOIS show DomaineGoat LLC, never you.

Njalla, the best-known service that registers domains in its own name, as read on 19 October 2026. | | TransferOffshore + Domain protection | Njalla | | --- | --- | --- | | Who is the registrant of record | DomaineGoat LLC (Panama) | Njalla (operator moved from Nevis to Costa Rica in late 2024, per a 2025 blog post) | | .com per year | $12.49 + $29 | €15, proxy included | | In your own name instead | Yes, standard domains with free privacy | Not the default model | | Monero | Not accepted | Accepted | | Published disclosure rule | Panamanian court or prosecutor's order, or a UDRP case | See their terms | *Prices checked on October 19, 2026.* Njalla is cheaper than a .com with Domain protection and accepts Monero. Read the full [Njalla comparison](https://transferoffshore.com/compare/njalla/). ## Frequently asked questions ### How much does Domain protection cost? $29 a year per domain, on top of the extension price, renewed with the domain. A .com with Domain protection therefore costs $12.49 plus $29 a year. On extensions sold only with it, the price on the [price list](https://transferoffshore.com/pricing/) already includes it. ### Can I add it after the transfer? Yes. You can add it when you order the transfer or later from My domains. On gTLDs, changing the registrant of record can start a 60-day transfer lock under ICANN rules unless the lock is waived, so adding it right away avoids that. ### Can I remove it later? Yes, at any time and for free: the domain goes back into your own name with free WHOIS privacy, or you take the auth code and leave. The option stops at the next renewal. ### Does it stop a domain from being suspended? No. It means a person reads every complaint before any action on the domain, a review that exists only with the option. Content disputes need a decision that binds us on every domain, protected or not. Phishing, malware, botnets and fraud that takes money from victims are acted on within 24 hours of a documented report, and child abuse material at once. ### What happens in a UDRP trademark dispute? The complaint names DomaineGoat LLC, the registrant of record. We tell you so you can answer the panel, and we apply the panel's decision, as ICANN requires of every registrar. ### Is it the same as WHOIS privacy? No. Free WHOIS privacy hides the registrant record from the public, and that record is built from your verified email only. Registries such as .org or .io still hold it; the thin .com and .net registries hold no contact data at all. With Domain protection the registry holds the company's details only. The [disclosure policy](https://transferoffshore.com/disclosure-policy/) explains who can get what. ### Why is .de or .uk only sold with it? Their registries ask for a registrant name and a postal address. We collect one email per domain and no other contact detail, so we register these names in the company's name. The registry gets DomaineGoat LLC's details, never yours, and the price shown includes the option. ### Who can see that I own the domain? Nobody in the public record or at the registry.

Yes, within the 45-day grace window; redemption means restore first. What happens to the year. No ID, paid in crypto. - URL: https://transferoffshore.com/expired-domain-transfer/ - Last updated: 2026-10-19 - Publisher: TransferOffshore (https://transferoffshore.com) An expired domain is not lost, and it is not stuck. What you can do depends on which phase of the expiry cycle it is in. **Quick answer — Can you transfer an expired domain?** Yes, you can transfer an expired domain during the auto-renew grace period, up to 45 days after the registry renews it. ICANN rules do not let registrars deny a transfer for expiration. As of October 2026, **TransferOffshore** adds one year on .com ($12.49). In the redemption period you must restore it first. ## Expired domains: key facts | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Auto-renew grace period | 45 days after the registry's auto-renewal at expiry; transfers allowed | | Expiration as a denial reason | Not allowed: registrars may not deny a transfer because a domain expired | | Unpaid past period | A registrar may deny for it, but only after placing the domain on Registrar Hold | | Year after a transfer in the grace period | The auto-renew year is cancelled and the transfer adds one year: net +1 year from the old expiry | | Redemption period | 30 days per ICANN; no transfer, restore at the old registrar first | | Pending delete | No transfer and no restore; the name is then released | | .com transfer here | $12.49, one year added | ## What happens to a domain after it expires? It goes through up to three phases before anyone else can register it. Your options shrink at each step. | Phase | Length | Can you transfer it? | What to do | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Auto-renew grace period (status autoRenewPeriod) | Up to 45 days after the registry's auto-renewal | Yes | Get the auth code and transfer, or renew at the old registrar | | Redemption grace period (status redemptionPeriod) | 30 days, per ICANN's EPP status page | No | Restore at the old registrar, then transfer | | Pending delete (status pendingDelete) | Set by the registry | No | Wait for release, then register the name again if it is still free | These phases come from the gTLD registries. Country registries set their own timelines. A registrar may also delete a domain earlier in the grace window, sending it to redemption sooner, so act early. ## Can the old registrar refuse because the domain expired? No. ICANN's registrant FAQ states that an expired domain can be transferred and that registrars may not deny a transfer because of expiration or non-renewal. A 2008 ICANN advisory adds that, during the auto-renew grace period, a registrar may not deny for non-payment of a pending or future period. There is one narrow exception. The policy lets a registrar deny for non-payment of a **previous or expired** period, but only after it puts the domain on Registrar Hold. If you see a hold status and a demand for payment, settle it with the old registrar. The registrar also may not hold back the auth code over a payment dispute. The other blocks are in [why a domain cannot be transferred](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-lock/). ## What happens to the year when you transfer an expired domain? You end up one year past the old expiry date, not two. At expiry, the registry renews the domain for a year and charges the old registrar. If the domain transfers during the 45-day grace window, the registry cancels that auto-renew year and credits the old registrar. The transfer then adds its own year. An example: a .com expired on 1 October 2026 and transfers on 20 October 2026. Its new expiry date is 1 October 2027. The registry's books balance, but yours may not. If you had already paid the old registrar for the renewal, getting that money back depends on its own refund policy. When you can, move a domain before its renewal date rather than after. ## What if the domain is in the redemption period? Restore it at the old registrar first, then transfer it. ICANN's registrant FAQ says a name in redemption must be restored by the current registrar before it can be transferred. The registry operator Identity Digital states the same rule: no transfers during the redemption grace period. The restore fee is set by the old registrar, so ask for it first. A restore usually includes a renewal. After that, the domain is active again and the normal transfer rules apply. Check the 60-day rules with your registrar before you pay, so you know when you can leave. ## Can you transfer a domain in pending delete? No. Once the status is pendingDelete, neither a transfer nor a restore is possible. After deletion the name returns to the pool, and the registry's own rules decide when it can be registered again. At that point anyone can register it, so you compete with everyone else for the name. If a valuable domain is close to this stage, act during the grace or redemption phase. A few days decide whether you keep it. ## What should you check before moving an expired domain? Check the status, the nameservers and the deadline for each domain. - **Status.** Read it in ICANN Lookup: autoRenewPeriod means you can transfer; redemptionPeriod means restore first. - **Nameservers.** An expired domain may be pointed to a parking page by its registrar. **Keep current nameservers** keeps whatever is set at the time, so fix the nameservers first, or choose them in the form. - **Email.** The auth code goes to the registrant email. If it lives on the expired domain itself, it may not receive mail: use an address on another domain. - **ccTLD deadlines.** Namecheap, for example, says .ch, .es and .fr domains must be renewed at least 12 days before expiry. Otherwise they go to redemption and cannot be transferred (per its knowledge base, October 2026). - **Time.** A gTLD transfer takes up to 5 days. Start well before the grace window ends. If DNS was hosted by the old registrar, rebuild it first: [transfer without DNS downtime](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-without-dns-downtime/). ## Expired domain questions ### How long after expiry can I still transfer a domain? Up to 45 days after the registry auto-renews it, which is the auto-renew grace period on gTLDs. Your registrar may delete the domain earlier, sending it to redemption, so check the status in ICANN Lookup. Start before the last days, because a transfer can take up to 5 days. ### Do I lose a year if I transfer during the grace period? No. The registry cancels the auto-renew year and the transfer adds one year, so the new expiry is one year after the old one. What you may lose is money: if you had paid the old registrar for that renewal, a refund depends on its policy. ### Can I transfer a domain in redemption? No. ICANN requires a domain in redemption to be restored by the current registrar before any transfer. The restore fee is set by that registrar, and a restore usually includes a renewal. Once the domain is active again, you can request the auth code and transfer it. ### My registrar says I must renew before I can transfer. Is that allowed? Not for a domain in the auto-renew grace period. ICANN's registrant FAQ says registrars may not deny a transfer because of expiration or non-renewal. A registrar may deny only for an unpaid past period after placing the domain on Registrar Hold. In redemption, though, restoring first is required. ### What does an expired domain transfer cost at TransferOffshore? The same as any transfer: the renewal price of the extension, such as $12.49 for .com, with one year added on gTLDs. A restore fee, if any, is charged by the old registrar. Every price is on the [price list](https://transferoffshore.com/pricing/). ## Sources 1.

Domains are registered through our ICANN-accredited registrar partner, shown in the RDAP record. As of October 2026 a .com transfer costs $12.49 and adds one year. ## Before you start ### What do I need to transfer a domain? Three things: the domain unlocked at its current registrar, its auth code (also called EPP code or transfer code), and an email you can verify. The domain must also be active and, at many registrars, at least 60 days old. Read [how transfers work](https://transferoffshore.com/how-domain-transfers-work/). ### Where do I find the auth code? In your current registrar's dashboard, usually next to the transfer lock, or in an email sent to the registrant address. ICANN rules require the registrar to give it within 5 calendar days of your request. The [transfer-from guides](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-from/) show where 18 registrars put it. ### Can I transfer a domain I registered last month? Usually not yet. Under ICANN's Transfer Policy a registrar may refuse a transfer within 60 days of the registration or of a previous transfer, and many do. The ICANN Board adopted a 30-day period on 7 June 2026, but no effective date is published. See [why a transfer fails](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-lock/). ### Which extensions can I transfer to you? The extensions on the [price list](https://transferoffshore.com/pricing/), from .com, .net and .org to .io, .ai, .co, .me and many new gTLDs. Some, such as .de, .uk, .nl and .ch, are sold only with Domain protection. Country extensions that need a local presence (.us, .eu, .fr, .ca and others) are not sold here. ## During the transfer ### How long does a transfer take? Up to 5 days for .com and other gTLDs: the old registrar has 5 calendar days to answer, then the registry approves the transfer by default. Several country registries, such as .de and .nl, complete transfers at once. The [rules by extension](https://transferoffshore.com/data/domain-transfer-rules-by-extension/) list each one. ### Will my website or email go down? Not if your nameservers stay the same, and they do by default. The risk is DNS hosted by the old registrar itself: its records can stop working when the domain leaves. Copy them, or move DNS first. Read [transfer without DNS downtime](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-without-dns-downtime/). ### Can I speed up a transfer? Often yes: many registrars let you approve the outgoing transfer in their dashboard instead of waiting 5 days. GoDaddy, Porkbun and Cloudflare offer such a button, according to their help pages. Your registrar's guide on [transfer from](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-from/) says where it is. ### What happens if the transfer fails? My domains shows the reason, such as a wrong code, a lock or a domain under 60 days old, and lets you enter a new code. Sending a corrected code needs no new payment. Common fixes are in [why a transfer fails](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-lock/). ### Can I transfer 100 domains at once? Yes, in five requests of up to 20 domains each. Each row needs its own auth code, and you can paste a list instead of typing rows. Send the domains that expire first in the first request. See [bulk domain transfer](https://transferoffshore.com/bulk-domain-transfer/). ## Price and payment ### How much does a transfer cost? The renewal price of the extension, billed once per domain: $12.49 for a .com, $12.99 for a .net, $53.49 for a .io, with WHOIS privacy free. On gTLDs the transfer adds one year to the expiry date; .uk and .ch keep their expiry date; a .ai transfer is billed 2 years (transfer + one renewal, $172.98) and adds 2. All prices: [pricing](https://transferoffshore.com/pricing/). ### Do I lose the time already paid at my old registrar? No. On gTLDs the year you buy is added to the current expiry date, up to the 10-year maximum; country registries such as .uk keep the date as it is. If the old registrar auto-renewed the domain in the last 45 days, the registry cancels that renewal and still adds one year; a refund of what you paid for it is up to that registrar. ### Which cryptocurrencies do you accept? Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC). You top up a balance with at least $25, send the exact amount shown on the exact network and click "I've sent the payment"; the payment is matched by its exact amount and credited once the network confirms it. Monero is not accepted. See [pay with crypto](https://transferoffshore.com/pay-with-crypto/). ### Is there a fee to leave? No. The auth code is free, from your account, at any time, and no exit fee applies. ICANN rules allow the usual 60-day refusal after a domain arrives, as at any registrar. Read [transfer out](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-out/). ## Privacy and identity ### Do you ask for ID or KYC? No ID document, no selfie, no ID number, no name, no address and no phone number. You give one email per domain, which ICANN requires to be verified within 15 days; it is the only contact detail we collect, and it is never published. Read [transfer without KYC](https://transferoffshore.com/no-kyc-domain-transfer/). ### Who will see my name after the transfer? We never ask for your name, so we cannot pass it on. You are the registrant of record, and the record is built from your verified email. Public WHOIS/RDAP shows our privacy contact where the extension allows it, and what stays public depends on each registry. The .com and .net registries receive no contact data at all. With [Domain protection](https://transferoffshore.com/domain-protection/) the registry receives the details of DomaineGoat LLC instead. ### What is Domain protection? An option at $29 a year per domain: the domain is registered in the name of DomaineGoat LLC, the transfer lock stays on, the company holds only your email, and a person reads every complaint before any action, a review that exists only with the option. Details on [Domain protection](https://transferoffshore.com/domain-protection/). ### Can I still prove I own the domain? Yes. For a domain in your name, you are the registrant of record. With Domain protection you are the beneficial owner under our terms, and you can have it put back in your name, free, at any time. ## Complaints, courts and abuse ### Will you suspend my domain if someone complains? Not on a complaint alone. Copyright, defamation, political or competitor complaints need a decision that binds us, from a Panamanian court; foreign judgments must first be recognised in Panama. Phishing, malware, botnets and fraud that takes money from victims are acted on within 24 hours of a documented report, and child sexual abuse material at once. See the [abuse policy](https://transferoffshore.com/abuse/). ### Who can obtain my data? DomaineGoat LLC releases the data it holds only when Panamanian law requires it (a Panamanian court or prosecutor's order), or in a UDRP case. We tell you before any disclosure, unless the law or the order forbids it. Read the [disclosure policy](https://transferoffshore.com/disclosure-policy/). ### What about trademark disputes? They follow the UDRP, which ICANN imposes on every registrar. The domain is locked within 2 business days of the dispute provider's request, the dispute provider receives the registrant record on file, and the panel's decision is applied. A transfer is refused while a UDRP case is pending. ### How do I report abuse? Email abuse@transferoffshore.com with the domain, the URLs and the evidence; no account is needed. You receive an automatic acknowledgement with a reference number. Phishing, malware, botnets and fraud are handled within 24 hours of a well-documented report. Details on the [abuse policy](https://transferoffshore.com/abuse/). ## About the company ### Why a service in Panama? Because DomaineGoat LLC answers to Panamanian law: content disputes need a Panamanian court decision, and the data it holds goes out only when Panamanian law requires it, or in a UDRP case, not on a form. Domains are registered through our ICANN-accredited registrar partner, which keeps its own legal duties; ICANN rules, the UDRP and each registry's own law still apply. Read [why Panama](https://transferoffshore.com/why-panama/). ### How do I contact support? By email at support@transferoffshore.com. Email replies within 12 hours, 7 days a week, including help with DNS, transfers and renewals. We never ask for your password or your auth codes by email. See [contact](https://transferoffshore.com/contact/). ### Where can I read your facts in one place? On the [official facts page](https://transferoffshore.com/llm-info/), in [llms.txt](https://transferoffshore.com/llms.txt) and in [pricing.json](https://transferoffshore.com/pricing.json).

This guide follows a gTLD transfer from the first click to the new expiry date, and shows where country extensions differ. **Quick answer — How do domain transfers work?** A gTLD domain transfer moves a name from one ICANN-accredited registrar to another with an auth code. Under the ICANN Transfer Policy in force as of October 2026, the old registrar has 5 calendar days to answer. Then the transfer is approved by default. At **TransferOffshore** a .com transfer costs **$12.49** and adds one year. ## Domain transfer rules in force today | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Policy in force | ICANN Transfer Policy, version updated 21 February 2024; mandatory for registrars since 21 August 2025 | | Losing registrar's window | 5 calendar days after the registry's notice; no answer means the transfer is approved by default | | Auth code deadline | Within 5 calendar days of your request when the registrar has no self-service tool; never held back over a payment dispute | | Lock after registration or transfer | 60 days: a reason registrars may use to deny; many registrars apply it, and some registries enforce it | | Change-of-registrant lock | 60 days after a change of registrant; the registrar may offer an opt-out before the change | | Time added on gTLDs | One year added to the current expiry date, with the total capped at 10 years | | Rules coming next | Transfer Policy Review adopted by the ICANN Board on 7 June 2026 (30-day locks, one-time code); no effective date published as of 19 October 2026 | | Transfer price here | .com $12.49, the same as the renewal; all prices on the [price list](https://transferoffshore.com/pricing/) | ## Who does what in a domain transfer? Four parties take part, and only one of them is you. The registry runs the extension, the two registrars sell it, and you hold the name. | Party | Who it is | Its job in the transfer | | --- | --- | --- | | Registrant | You, the holder of the domain | Removes the lock, gets the auth code, gives it to the new registrar, keeps the contact email reachable | | Losing registrar | The registrar of record today | Issues the auth code, removes clientTransferProhibited, then approves, denies for a listed reason, or lets the 5 days run out | | Gaining registrar | The registrar you move to; at TransferOffshore, our ICANN-accredited registrar partner, shown in the RDAP record | Takes the code, sends the transfer request to the registry, verifies the registrant email | | Registry | The operator of the extension (Verisign for .com) | Checks the code, sets pendingTransfer, tells the losing registrar, completes the move and extends the expiry date | The registry is the referee. It holds the authoritative record of the domain: its sponsoring registrar, its statuses, its expiry date and its nameservers. A transfer changes the sponsoring registrar in that record. It does not change the nameservers, which is why a website can stay online through the whole process. ## What happens between day 0 and day 5? A gTLD transfer completes on day 5 at the latest, unless the losing registrar denies it for a reason the policy allows. Many registrars also let you approve the outgoing transfer early, which can finish it within hours. | When | What happens | Domain status | | --- | --- | --- | | Before day 0 | You turn off the transfer lock and copy the auth code at the losing registrar | Lock removed | | Day 0 | The gaining registrar sends the request with the code; the registry checks the code and notifies the losing registrar | pendingTransfer | | Days 1 to 5 | The losing registrar may email you, approve early, or deny for a permitted reason | pendingTransfer | | Day 5 | Without an answer, the registry approves the transfer by default | Back to ok, new registrar | | After the move | The new registrar may block another transfer for 60 days | Often clientTransferProhibited | In your TransferOffshore account, My domains shows the same timeline: **Requested → Waiting for the current registrar (up to 5 days) → Completed** or **Failed**. A failed row shows the reason, such as a wrong code or a domain still locked, with a field to send a corrected code. ## What is the auth code, and who must give it? The auth code (also called EPP code or AuthInfo) is a password stored at the registry for each domain. The gaining registrar must send it with the transfer request, and the registry refuses the request if it does not match. The losing registrar must give you the code. If it has no self-service tool, the policy gives it 5 calendar days from your request. It may not refuse the code because you owe it money. Country registries set their own rules: a .de AuthInfo is valid for 30 days, and .uk uses no code at all. Details in [what an auth code is](https://transferoffshore.com/auth-code/). ## Which locks and statuses stop a transfer? Two kinds of lock exist: a status you can remove yourself, and a time-based rule you can only wait out. RDAP shows the statuses, and ICANN's Lookup tool reads them for any gTLD domain. | Lock or status | Set by | What it means | What you do | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | clientTransferProhibited | Losing registrar | The registry rejects any transfer request | Turn off the transfer lock in your registrar's dashboard | | serverTransferProhibited | Registry | A registry-level block, often tied to a dispute or a redemption period | Ask the registrar why it is set | | pendingTransfer | Registry | A transfer request is open | Wait, or approve it early at the losing registrar | | 60 days after registration or transfer | Registrar policy, sometimes the registry | The registrar may deny the transfer | Wait until day 61 | | 60-day change-of-registrant lock | Registrar | The registrar must deny the transfer | Wait, or ask for the opt-out before the next change | | redemptionPeriod | Registry | The domain was deleted after expiry | Restore it at the old registrar first | The full list of causes, with a fix for each, is in [why a domain cannot be transferred](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-lock/). ## What is added to the expiry date after a transfer? On gTLDs such as .com, .net and .org, a completed transfer adds one year to the existing expiry date. The time you already paid is kept. The policy caps the total unexpired term at 10 years, so a domain renewed close to that limit cannot take the whole extra year. An example: a .com expires on 1 March 2027 and moves on 10 November 2026. Its new expiry date is 1 March 2028. **Auto-renew grace period.** If the old registrar auto-renewed the domain in the last 45 days, the registry cancels that renewal and credits the losing registrar. The transfer then adds its own year. The net result is one year after the old expiry date, not two. If you paid the old registrar for that renewal, a refund depends on its own policy. Country extensions differ. A .uk transfer leaves the expiry date as it is. A .ai transfer adds two years since 15 January 2025, according to the registry operator's statement to Domain Name Wire; TransferOffshore bills it as 2 years: $86.49 plus one renewal, $172.98. A .ch transfer adds no year. ## How do country-code (ccTLD) transfers differ? ccTLDs do not follow the ICANN Transfer Policy: each registry writes its own rules. The mechanism, the waiting time and the year added can all change. The table below covers the extensions people ask about most; the [transfer rules by extension](https://transferoffshore.com/data/domain-transfer-rules-by-extension/) table covers 40. | Extension | How it moves | Year added | Speed | Confidence | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | .uk | IPS tag change by the current registrar, no code; code-based transfers from 9 February 2027, according to Realtime Register | No, expiry unchanged | Not stated by Nominet | Mixed | | .de | AuthInfo valid 30 days, one transfer only | Depends on the registrar | Immediate once the AuthInfo matches (DENIC) | Primary for the mechanism | | .nl | Token the registrar must give within 5 days | Depends on the registrar | Immediate (SIDN) | Primary and secondary | | .ch | Transfer code from the registrar | No | Not stated | Mixed | | .ai | EPP auth code | Two years since 15 January 2025 | Losing registrar has 7 days, according to secondary sources | Secondary | Each extension we take in also has its own guide in the [transfer guides by extension](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/). ## When must, may, or may not a registrar deny a transfer? The Transfer Policy sorts denial reasons into three lists. A registrar that denies for a reason outside them breaks its ICANN contract. | Rule | Reason | Policy section | | --- | --- | --- | | Must deny | A UDRP proceeding the registrar has been told about | I.A.3.8 | | Must deny | A court order | I.A.3.8 | | Must deny | A pending TDRP (Transfer Dispute Resolution Policy) case | I.A.3.8 | | Must deny | A URS proceeding or a URS suspension | I.A.3.8 | | Must deny | The 60-day change-of-registrant lock, unless the holder opted out | I.A.3.8 | | May deny | Evidence of fraud | I.A.3.7 | | May deny | A reasonable dispute over the identity of the person asking | I.A.3.7 | | May deny | Non-payment for a previous or expired period, after placing the domain on Registrar Hold | I.A.3.7 | | May deny | Express objection from the transfer contact | I.A.3.7 | | May deny | Less than 60 days since creation, or since a previous transfer | I.A.3.7 | | May not deny | Non-payment for a pending or future period | I.A.3.9 | | May not deny | No response from the registrant or the admin contact | I.A.3.9 | | May not deny | A lock the holder had no reasonable way to remove | I.A.3.9 | | May not deny | Expiration or non-renewal of the domain, per ICANN's registrant FAQ | I.A.3.9 | ## Will these rules change soon? Yes, but not yet. On 7 June 2026 the ICANN Board adopted the Transfer Policy Review (resolution 2026.06.07.04). It brings 30-day locks instead of 60, a one-time Transfer Authorization Code (TAC) valid 14 days, and the end of the 60-day change-of-registrant lock. As of 19 October 2026, ICANN has published no effective date. Until it does, every rule on this page stays in force. The [ICANN transfer policy changes](https://transferoffshore.com/news/icann-transfer-policy-changes/) page tracks the details. ## How does a transfer into TransferOffshore run? You enter each domain and its auth code in the [transfer form](https://transferoffshore.com/app/domains/transfer?lang=en), one row per domain, up to 20 rows per request. Your current nameservers are kept by default, so the website and email keep working. You pay from a crypto balance, and the requests go to the registries once the payment is credited. The registrar of record becomes our ICANN-accredited registrar partner, shown in the RDAP record. The transfer price equals the renewal price of the extension and is billed once per domain (a .ai is billed 2 years, transfer + one renewal): .com $12.49, .net $12.99, .org $12.49. The full walk-through is in [how to transfer a domain to an offshore registrar](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-domain-offshore/). ## Domain transfer questions ### How long does a domain transfer take? A gTLD transfer takes up to 5 calendar days. The registry notifies the losing registrar, which has 5 days to answer before the transfer is approved by default. Approving it early at the losing registrar can cut this to hours. Some country registries, such as DENIC for .de and SIDN for .nl, complete a transfer at once when the code matches. ### Can the old registrar block my transfer? Only for the reasons the ICANN Transfer Policy lists. It must deny during a UDRP case, a court order or a change-of-registrant lock. It may deny for fraud, an identity dispute, an unpaid past period or the 60-day period after registration or transfer. It may not deny because the domain expired or because you did not answer an email. ### Do I lose the time already paid when I transfer? No. On gTLDs the registry keeps your current expiry date and adds one year, up to a 10-year total. If the domain was auto-renewed in the last 45 days, the registry cancels that renewal. The transfer adds one year instead, so you end one year after the old expiry date. ### Does a transfer change my nameservers? No. The nameservers are stored at the registry and stay the same through the transfer. Downtime happens only when the DNS itself is hosted by the old registrar and stops once the domain leaves. TransferOffshore keeps your current nameservers by default. See [transfer without DNS downtime](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-without-dns-downtime/). ### Why must I wait 60 days after registering a domain? The current ICANN policy lets a registrar deny a transfer within 60 days of the creation date or of a previous transfer. It is a permitted reason, not an obligation, but many registrars apply it and some registries enforce it. The policy adopted on 7 June 2026 will shorten it to 30 days once it takes effect. ### Who emails me during a transfer? Usually the losing registrar, which may ask you to confirm or reject the transfer. Under the current policy you do not need to answer: silence leads to approval after 5 days. The gaining registrar also verifies your email. ICANN requires that verification within 15 days, or the domain is suspended. ### Do ccTLDs follow the same rules? No. Country-code registries set their own transfer rules. A .uk domain moves by changing its IPS tag, with no code and no year added. A .de or .nl transfer completes at once when the code matches. The [rules by extension](https://transferoffshore.com/data/domain-transfer-rules-by-extension/) table lists each one with its source. ## Sources 1.

Live list: [pricing](https://transferoffshore.com/pricing/) · [pricing.json](https://transferoffshore.com/pricing.json). [With Domain protection](https://transferoffshore.com/domain-protection/): this extension is sold only with Domain protection, because its registry needs a name and address; the registry and WHOIS show DomaineGoat LLC, never you. The price shown includes the $29/year for it. ## About TransferOffshore - **Transfer at the renewal price, billed once.** A .com transfer costs $12.49 and adds one year (ICANN Transfer Policy, capped at 10 years); renewals cost the same afterwards. Country registries decide the time a transfer adds: none on .uk or .ch, 2 years on .ai, whose transfer is billed 2 years (transfer + one renewal, $172.98) ([pricing](https://transferoffshore.com/pricing/)). - **Up to 20 domains per request.** One auth code per row, or paste a list; larger portfolios go in several requests ([bulk transfers](https://transferoffshore.com/bulk-domain-transfer/)). - **No DNS downtime by default.** The current nameservers are kept, so websites and email keep working while the registrar changes ([how](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-without-dns-downtime/)). - **No action on a complaint alone.** Content complaints need a decision that binds us, from a Panamanian court. DomaineGoat LLC releases the data it holds only when Panamanian law requires it (a Panamanian court or prosecutor's order), or in a UDRP case ([disclosure policy](https://transferoffshore.com/disclosure-policy/)). - **Strict exceptions, written openly**: phishing, malware, botnets and fraud that takes money from victims are acted on within 24 hours of a well-documented report, child sexual abuse material immediately, and the URLs are reported to NCMEC; reports to abuse@transferoffshore.com, no account needed ([abuse policy](https://transferoffshore.com/abuse/)). - **One email, no ID, no KYC**: one email address per domain is the only contact detail collected, required and verified as ICANN requires, never published; you are the registrant of record, with free WHOIS/RDAP privacy where the extension allows it. - **Domain protection, +$29/year per domain**: registered in the name of DomaineGoat LLC, transfer lock on by default, minimal data, and every complaint read by a person before any action, a review that exists only with the option ([details](https://transferoffshore.com/domain-protection/)). - **Open data**: transfer rules of 40 extensions and the transfer-out procedures of 18 registrars, dated 19 October 2026 ([rules by extension](https://transferoffshore.com/data/domain-transfer-rules-by-extension/), [registrar index](https://transferoffshore.com/data/registrar-transfer-out-index/)). ## TransferOffshore is built for - Owners leaving GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare, Squarespace or Njalla who want a Panama-based service and crypto payment. - Domain investors moving a portfolio in batches of 20, ordered by expiry date. - Sites and newsletters that cannot afford DNS downtime: nameservers are kept during the transfer. - Publishers who want content complaints decided by a Panamanian court, not by a form. ## More facts | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | What we do | Domain transfers to DomaineGoat LLC, a company incorporated in Panama: one domain or a whole portfolio, moved with its auth (EPP) codes; the registrar of record becomes our ICANN-accredited registrar partner, shown in the RDAP record | | Transfer price | Billed once per domain, at the renewal price of the extension: .com $12.49, with one year added on gTLDs such as .com, .net and .org; country registries decide the time added (none on .uk or .ch; 2 years on .ai, whose transfer is billed 2 years) | | Pricing rule | One yearly price per extension: first year, renewal and transfer cost the same; .ai registrations, renewals and transfers are billed two years at a time (a .ai transfer: $86.49 + one renewal = $172.98) | | Bulk transfers | Up to 20 domains per transfer request, each with its own auth code; paste a list or add rows one by one | | DNS during a transfer | Nameservers move with the domain: your current nameservers are kept by default, so the website and email keep working | | Data collected | One email address per domain, required and verified as ICANN requires, never published; no name, postal address or phone number is asked.

No effective date yet. Transfers paid in crypto. - URL: https://transferoffshore.com/news/icann-transfer-policy-changes/ - Last updated: 2026-10-19 - Publisher: TransferOffshore (https://transferoffshore.com) The ICANN Board has adopted the biggest rewrite of the domain transfer rules in a decade. Here is what it changes, what it does not, and why nothing changes for your transfers yet. **Quick answer — What are the ICANN transfer policy changes?** On 7 June 2026 the ICANN Board adopted the Transfer Policy Review (resolution 2026.06.07.04). It brings 30-day locks instead of 60, a one-time Transfer Authorization Code valid 14 days, and no 60-day change-of-registrant lock. As of 19 October 2026 no effective date is published, so transfers at **TransferOffshore** still follow today's rules. ## The decision in brief | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | What was adopted | The recommendations of the GNSO Transfer Policy Review PDP Final Report (47 recommendations) | | Adopted by | ICANN Board, 7 June 2026, resolution 2026.06.07.04; resolutions published 9 June 2026 | | Effective date | None published as of 19 October 2026; implementation is “subject to prioritization” | | Next steps | An Implementation Review Team and a standalone Change of Registrant Data (CORD) Policy | | Lock after creation or transfer | From a 60-day “may deny” to a mandatory 30 days (720 hours) | | Auth code | Renamed TAC: one-time use, valid 14 days (336 hours), issued within 120 hours | | Change-of-registrant lock | The 60-day lock and its opt-out are removed | | Still in force today | The Transfer Policy updated 21 February 2024, including both 60-day rules | ## What did the ICANN Board adopt on 7 June 2026? It adopted the full set of recommendations from the Transfer Policy Review, and asked ICANN's President and CEO to implement them, “subject to prioritization”. The resolution number is 2026.06.07.04, and the approved resolutions were published on 9 June 2026. The recommendations come from a GNSO working group that reviewed the whole Transfer Policy. Its Final Report, dated 4 February 2025, holds 47 recommendations. The Board flagged one of them, Recommendation 21, for further talks with the GNSO Council: it would let registrars deny a transfer for DNS abuse. ## Which recommendations change what? The main changes, from the Final Report text. “Rec” is the recommendation number. | Rec | Change | Today | | --- | --- | --- | | 3 | Registrars must block transfers for 720 hours (30 days) after the creation date, replacing 60-day rules in registry and registrar agreements | 60 days, a reason a registrar may use | | 6 | The Transfer Authorization Code (TAC) must be set and issued within 120 hours | Auth code within 5 calendar days | | 9 | The TAC is valid for 336 hours (14 days), enforced by the registry | No fixed lifetime for gTLDs | | 11 | A Notification of TAC Issuance goes to the registrant within 10 minutes | No such notice required | | 12 and 13 | The registry verifies the TAC; it is one-time use and reset once accepted | The code can stay the same | | 15 | The Gaining FOA (gaining registrar's authorisation form) is eliminated | Enforcement deferred since 2018 | | 17 | The losing registrar's notice becomes a “Transfer Confirmation”; the 5-day window becomes 120 hours | 5 calendar days | | 18 | Mandatory 720-hour (30-day) lock after an inter-registrar transfer; early removal only on a documented registrant request | 60 days, a reason a registrar may use | | 19 | A Notification of Transfer Completion from the losing registrar within 24 hours | Not required | | 21 to 24 | Denial reasons rewritten: the registrant's express objection becomes a must-deny; DNS abuse a may-deny | Must / may / may-not lists of the current policy | | 25 to 28 | Change of Registrant becomes Change of Registrant Data (CORD); the 60-day lock and its opt-out are removed; a CORD notice is added | 60-day lock with optional opt-out | | 34 to 47 | Rules for bulk and full-portfolio transfers between registrars (BTAPPA) | Existing BTAPPA process | ## When will the new transfer rules take effect? Nobody can say yet: as of 19 October 2026, ICANN has published no effective date. The resolution sets no timeline. An Implementation Review Team still has to turn the recommendations into policy text, and the standalone CORD policy has to be written. One blog suggests a phase-in of about 18 months. ICANN has not confirmed this figure, so treat it as a guess. When ICANN publishes a date, this page will show it. Do not confuse the review with another date. Realtime Register announced gTLD transfer changes from 4 August 2026. That notice concerns registrant-only approval, without an admin contact, under the Registration Data Policy. It is not the Transfer Policy Review. ## What stays the same until then? Everything in the current policy, updated 21 February 2024 and mandatory since 21 August 2025: - a registrar **may** deny a transfer within 60 days of creation or of a previous transfer, and many do; - a change of registrant sets a **60-day lock**, with an opt-out the registrar may offer; - the losing registrar has **5 calendar days**, then the transfer is approved by default; - the auth code must be given within 5 calendar days and has no fixed lifetime; - a gTLD transfer adds **one year**, with the total capped at 10 years. The last rule is not touched by the review: the Final Report still shows one year added at transfer. Today's process is explained in [how domain transfers work](https://transferoffshore.com/how-domain-transfers-work/). ## What will the changes mean for people moving domains? Shorter waits, stricter codes, and fewer emails to answer. In practice: - **New domains move sooner.** A domain registered or transferred 30 days ago will be free to move, instead of 60 days at many registrars today. But the 30 days will be mandatory, with no registrar discretion. - **Codes expire.** A TAC lasts 14 days and works once. Request it only when you are ready to submit, and ask for a new one if it runs out. - **Owner updates stop blocking moves.** Editing the registrant's name or email will no longer set a 60-day lock. You will receive a CORD notice instead. - **More notices.** You will get an email within 10 minutes of a TAC being issued, and another within 24 hours of the transfer completing. An unexpected TAC notice is an early warning. - **Portfolios need tighter batches.** With 14-day codes, plan each batch so that every code is submitted within its window. The [bulk transfer guide](https://transferoffshore.com/bulk-domain-transfer/) covers batching. The code itself is explained on [what an auth code is](https://transferoffshore.com/auth-code/), and today's locks on [why a domain cannot be transferred](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-lock/). ## How did the Transfer Policy Review get here? | Date | Step | | --- | --- | | 31 January 2025 | The working group reaches full consensus | | 4 February 2025 | Final Report sent to the GNSO Council (47 recommendations) | | 12 March 2025 | GNSO Council approves the report, unanimously | | 28 April to 16 June 2025 | Public comment before the Board's decision | | 2 July 2025 | Summary report of the public comments | | 7 June 2026 | ICANN Board adopts the recommendations (resolution 2026.06.07.04) | | 9 June 2026 | Approved resolutions published | | After that | Implementation Review Team and CORD policy; effective date not announced as of 19 October 2026 | ## Questions about the new transfer rules ### Is the 30-day transfer lock in force now? No. The ICANN Board adopted it on 7 June 2026, but as of 19 October 2026 no effective date has been published. Until then, the current policy applies. A registrar may deny a transfer within 60 days of registration or of a previous transfer, and many registrars do. ### What is a TAC? TAC stands for Transfer Authorization Code, the new name for the auth code or EPP code. Under the adopted rules it must be issued within 120 hours, it is valid for 14 days, and it works only once. The registry enforces the lifetime and resets the code after a valid use. ### Will a transfer still add a year to my domain? Yes, as far as the Final Report shows. The review does not change the rule that a gTLD transfer adds one year to the expiry date, capped at 10 years. Country-code domains keep following their own registries, which ICANN's policy does not cover. ### Does the change-of-registrant lock disappear? Yes, once the new rules take effect. Recommendation 26.4 removes the 60-day lock after a change of registrant, together with its opt-out. The process becomes Change of Registrant Data (CORD), with a notice to the registrant instead of a lock. Until then, the 60-day lock still applies. ### Why did the Board flag Recommendation 21? Recommendation 21 would let registrars deny a transfer for DNS abuse. The Board flagged it for further discussion with the GNSO Council when it adopted the recommendations on 7 June 2026. Its final form may therefore differ from the Final Report text. ### Should I wait for the new rules before moving my domains? No. No effective date is known, and a domain held back by today's 60-day rule only has to wait until day 61. Every other domain can move under today's rules. A gTLD transfer still takes up to 5 days and adds one year, at $12.49 for .com. ## Sources 1.

One email per domain, verified within 15 days as ICANN requires, and payment in crypto. - URL: https://transferoffshore.com/no-kyc-domain-transfer/ - Last updated: 2026-10-19 - Publisher: TransferOffshore (https://transferoffshore.com) What TransferOffshore asks for when you move a domain, what it does not ask for, what the registry still receives, and where a no-KYC transfer has honest limits. **Quick answer — Can I transfer a domain without KYC?** Yes. As of October 2026, **TransferOffshore** lets you transfer a domain without KYC: no ID document, no selfie, no ID number and no phone number. Each domain needs **one email that you verify within 15 days**, as ICANN requires: it is the only contact detail we collect, and it is never published. You pay in crypto, and a .com transfer costs $12.49. ## What a no-KYC transfer involves | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | ID document, selfie, ID number | Not asked | | Name, phone number, postal address | Not asked | | Email | One per domain, required and verified within 15 days (ICANN rule), kept private: the only contact detail collected | | Registrant of record | You, for a domain in your name | | Payment | Crypto only: BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC | | Public WHOIS / RDAP | Privacy included free where the registry allows it; what stays public depends on each registry | | Domain protection | +$29/year per domain: the registry holds the details of DomaineGoat LLC, not yours | | Your data goes out | Only when Panamanian law requires it (a Panamanian court or prosecutor's order), or in a UDRP case | | Not sold here | .us, .eu and other extensions that require proof of eligibility | ## What exactly does TransferOffshore ask for? We ask for the minimum needed to move a domain and keep it reachable: - **the domain name and its auth code**, from your current registrar; - **one email address per domain**, which you confirm through a link; - **a crypto payment** to your account balance. Your account is identified by an account number. You can use the same email for every domain, or a different one for each. The email is not a formality, and it is the only contact detail we collect. ICANN's 2013 Registrar Accreditation Agreement requires registrars to verify the registrant's email. If the address is not confirmed **within 15 days**, the domain is suspended until it is. Use an address you will still read in a year. ## What does TransferOffshore not ask for? No identity check of any kind. Concretely, TransferOffshore does not ask for: - an ID card, passport or driving licence; - a selfie or a video call; - a national ID number or tax number; - your name; - a phone number; - a postal address; - a bank card or bank account. The short form is: **No ID, no KYC — one verified email, kept private.** The email does not appear in the public WHOIS or RDAP record. It is used to verify the domain, to send renewal reminders and to deliver transfer codes. ## What does the registry still receive? It depends on the registry, and that part does not depend on us. The .com and .net registries, run by Verisign, are thin: they receive no contact data about the registrant, only the registrar, the nameservers and the dates. Registries such as PIR (.org) or Identity Digital (.io) keep the registrant record under their own law. **For a domain in your name**, you are the registrant of record, and the record is built from the one detail we collect: your verified email. No name, address or phone number exists to pass on. WHOIS and RDAP privacy hides the record from the public where the registry allows it, at no cost. **With [Domain protection](https://transferoffshore.com/domain-protection/)**, the domain is registered in the name of DomaineGoat LLC. The registry and WHOIS show the company, never you, so the registry holds no data about you. The option costs +$29/year per domain on top of the extension price. You stay the beneficial owner and can take the domain back in your name, for free. Domains are registered through our ICANN-accredited registrar partner, shown in the RDAP record. ## What about .us, .eu and similar extensions? TransferOffshore does not sell them, so you cannot transfer them here. Some registries require more than an email. - **.us** requires a United States connection (the nexus rule), and its registry does not allow privacy or proxy services. - **.eu** requires residence or citizenship in the EU or EEA. - **.fr, .it and .ca** have similar residence or presence rules. For those, the registrant must prove eligibility. DomaineGoat LLC, a company in Panama, is not eligible to hold them for you, and we do not collect the proof. Keep them at a registrar that handles eligibility. Other country extensions, such as .de, .uk, .nl, .ch, .cc and .to, need a name and an address. We sell them only with Domain protection, so the registry receives the company's details. See the [extension list](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/). ## What are the honest limits of a no-KYC transfer? A no-KYC transfer reduces what we hold about you. It does not erase the past, and it does not place a domain above the rules. - **Your old registrar keeps its records.** Moving the domain does not delete the data you gave it, nor old WHOIS copies kept by third parties. - **Blockchains are public.** A crypto payment can be traced on-chain, even if we never ask who you are. - **The email matters.** Lose access to it and you can lose access to codes and verification links. - **Due process still applies.** We release the data we hold only when Panamanian law requires it (a Panamanian court or prosecutor's order), or in a UDRP case. See the [disclosure policy](https://transferoffshore.com/disclosure-policy/). - **Some abuse leads to suspension.** Phishing, malware, botnets and fraud that takes money from victims are acted on within 24 hours of a documented report; child sexual abuse material at once. See the [abuse policy](https://transferoffshore.com/abuse/). - **Trademark disputes go to UDRP**, and the panel decision is applied. ## A no-KYC transfer, step by step 1. **Unlock and get the code** — At your current registrar, remove the transfer lock and copy the auth code. 2. **Enter the domain** — Add the name and its code in the transfer form, up to 20 domains per request. 3. **Give one email** — One address per domain. No ID, no name, no phone, no postal address. 4. **Pay in crypto** — Top up with BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC and pay from your balance. 5. **Verify the email** — Click the link within 15 days, as ICANN requires, so the domain stays active. ## No-KYC domain transfer: FAQ ### Do ICANN rules require an ID check for a transfer? No. ICANN rules do not require an identity document for a gTLD transfer. They do require the registrar to verify the registrant email within 15 days, and that is the one check TransferOffshore makes. Country registries can add their own rules. Where a registry asks for proof of eligibility, as for .us or .eu, we do not sell the extension. This is not legal advice. ### Why do you need an email at all? Because ICANN requires it. Under the 2013 Registrar Accreditation Agreement, a registrar must verify the registrant's email, and a domain whose email is not confirmed within 15 days is suspended. The email also receives renewal reminders and transfer codes. It is never published in WHOIS or RDAP. ### Can I use a private or throwaway email? You can use any address you control, including one at a privacy-first email provider. Avoid a throwaway inbox. You need the address to confirm the domain within 15 days, to receive renewal reminders and to get the code if you transfer out later. Losing it can mean losing control of the domain. ### Does the registry see my email or name? We never ask for your name, so no registry receives it. For a domain in your name, the registrant record is built from your verified email: the thin .com and .net registries receive no contact data at all, and others, such as .org, keep that record, hidden from public WHOIS where the registry allows. With Domain protection, the registry receives only the details of DomaineGoat LLC. ### Do you check who I am when I pay in crypto? No. You top up your balance with BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC and pay transfers from it. There is no card, no bank account and no identity check. The payment is matched by its exact amount. See [pay with crypto](https://transferoffshore.com/pay-with-crypto/). ## Sources 1.

No card, no ID. - URL: https://transferoffshore.com/pay-with-crypto/ - Last updated: 2026-10-19 - Publisher: TransferOffshore (https://transferoffshore.com) How the prepaid balance works, which coins and networks you can use, how a payment is matched, and what to check on the network side before you send. **Quick answer — How do I pay for a domain transfer with crypto?** At **TransferOffshore** you pay for a domain transfer with crypto through a prepaid balance. As of October 2026, you top up at least **$25** in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, send the exact amount on the network shown, and click "I've sent the payment". The payment is credited once the network confirms it. A .com transfer costs $12.49. ## Crypto payment at a glance | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Coins you can pay with | BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC | | Networks to use | USDT on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20); USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20); BTC, ETH, SOL and LTC on their own networks | | Minimum top-up | $25 | | How a payment is matched | By its exact amount; credited once the network confirms it | | What the balance pays | Transfers, renewals and new domains | | Failed transfer | My domains shows the reason and a form to send a corrected code | | Card or bank payment | Not accepted | | Identity check | None: no ID, no KYC | ## Which cryptocurrencies can I use? You can pay with **Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC)**. Stablecoins (USDT and USDC) keep the dollar value fixed between the moment you send and the moment the payment is credited. The network matters as much as the coin. USDT is accepted on Tron (TRC-20) and on Ethereum (ERC-20). USDC is accepted on Ethereum (ERC-20) only. Bitcoin, Ether, Solana and Litecoin travel on their own networks. Cards, bank transfers and PayPal are not accepted. There is no payment method that asks who you are. ## Why do transfers use a prepaid balance? A balance lets one crypto payment cover many domains. You top up once, then transfers, renewals and new domains are paid from it. The minimum top-up is **$25**. If you start from the transfer form, the top-up is the exact price of your order, or the minimum when the order costs less. What is left stays on your account for the next renewal. The full balance rule is in step 5 of "How payment works" below: unused balance never expires and pays for transfers, renewals and new domains. For a bulk transfer of 20 domains, one top-up pays the whole request. See [bulk domain transfer](https://transferoffshore.com/bulk-domain-transfer/). ## How is my crypto payment matched? Your payment is matched by its exact amount. The payment page shows a coin, a network, an address and an amount. **Send the exact amount, then click "I've sent the payment"**. The payment is matched by its exact amount and credited once the network confirms it. The time this takes depends on the network and on how busy it is. We do not promise a delay. The table under "How payment works" below shows the number of confirmations for each network. ## What should I watch on the network side? Most payment problems come from the network or the amount, not from the coin. Check these points before you send: - **Send on the exact network shown.** Funds sent on another chain than the one on the page cannot be matched, and they cannot be recovered. - **Make the exact amount arrive.** Many exchanges take their withdrawal fee from the amount you type. Then less arrives than shown. Add the fee, or send from a wallet where you pay the network fee on top. - **Send in one transaction.** Two smaller payments do not match one amount. - **Keep the transaction ID.** If something goes wrong, support needs it to find your payment. If a payment does not appear, write to support@transferoffshore.com with the transaction ID and the top-up amount. ## What happens if a transfer fails? A transfer can fail for a wrong code, a lock at the old registrar, or a domain less than 60 days old. My domains shows the reason on the failed line. For a wrong code, a form lets you enter a new one without paying again. If you decide not to try again, write to support@transferoffshore.com about the amount paid for that domain: no automatic rule is published for it yet. Money on your balance follows the balance rule in step 5 below. ## How are renewals paid after the transfer? Renewals are paid from the same balance. Auto-renew is on by default for transferred domains, and it takes the renewal price from your balance when the domain is due. Keep enough on the balance before your expiry dates. If the balance is too low, top up and renew from My domains. Each extension renews at the same price as its transfer, listed on the [price list](https://transferoffshore.com/pricing/). ## How payment works 1. **Top up $25 or more** — Choose the amount and the coin (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC). The crypto amount and its rate are locked for 30 minutes. 2. **Send it to the address shown, on the exact network** — The payment page shows our deposit address for the coin and network you picked: BTC on Bitcoin, USDT on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20), USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20), ETH on Ethereum, SOL on Solana, LTC on Litecoin. Send only that coin on that network: funds sent on another network or in another coin can’t be recovered. The network fee comes on top of the amount. 3. **Send the exact amount shown, then click “I’ve sent the payment”** — Each top-up has its own exact amount (down to the last decimals): that is how we find your payment and link it to your account. 4. **Credited once your payment is checked on the blockchain** — Your balance is credited once we have checked the transaction on the blockchain, after the network has confirmed it. Typical network confirmation times: 5. **One balance for every transfer** — If you started from the transfer form, the top-up is the exact price of your transfers (or the minimum, for a smaller order), and the transfer requests go to the registries as soon as the top-up is credited. What is left stays on your balance for renewals and new domains. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new domains, renewals and transfers. When a purchase costs less than the minimum top-up, the part added only to reach the minimum is refundable on request to support within 30 days of the payment, in USDT or USDC, as long as it has not been spent. The rest of the balance is not paid back, except where the law requires it. | Crypto | Network | Confirmations | Usual time | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Bitcoin (BTC) | Bitcoin | 2 | ≈ 20 min | | Tether (USDT) | Tron (TRC-20) | 20 | ≈ 1 min | | Tether (USDT) | Ethereum (ERC-20) | 12 | ≈ 5 min | | USD Coin (USDC) | Ethereum (ERC-20) | 12 | ≈ 5 min | | Ethereum (ETH) | Ethereum | 12 | ≈ 5 min | | Solana (SOL) | Solana | 1 | ≈ 1 min | | Litecoin (LTC) | Litecoin | 6 | ≈ 15 min | Closed the tab? The pending top-up stays under Billing in your account: open it to see the address and the exact amount again. ## Crypto payment for transfers: FAQ ### Can I pay for a domain transfer with Bitcoin? Yes. Bitcoin is one of the accepted coins, along with Tether, USD Coin, Ether, Solana and Litecoin. You top up your balance with at least $25, and the transfer is paid from it once the payment is credited. A .com transfer costs $12.49. ### Do you accept Monero? No. The accepted coins are BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC. Stablecoins such as USDT on Tron are often the simplest choice for a transfer, because the amount in dollars does not move while the network confirms the payment. ### What if I send the wrong amount? A payment is matched by its exact amount, so a different amount may not be matched to your top-up. Write to support@transferoffshore.com with the transaction ID and the top-up amount. Support can look for the payment. To avoid it, check that the exact amount will arrive after any exchange fee. ### What if I send on the wrong network? Funds sent on a network other than the one shown cannot be matched to your top-up, and they cannot be recovered. Always copy the network from the payment page, not from memory, and check it again in your wallet before you confirm. ### Is the minimum top-up a fee? No. The minimum top-up of $25 goes to your balance in full. If your transfer costs less, the part added only to reach the minimum is refundable on request to support within 30 days, in USDT or USDC, as long as it has not been spent. Otherwise it stays on your account for renewals and other domains. ### Do I need to give my name to pay? No. Payment needs no name, no ID and no card. Each domain needs one email that you verify, as ICANN requires: it is the only contact detail we collect. See [transfer without KYC](https://transferoffshore.com/no-kyc-domain-transfer/). **Pay your first transfer in crypto** BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC · minimum top-up $25 · no card, no ID.

extensions · prices per year in USD* Not sold here: extensions whose registry requires a local presence or an identity check (.us, .eu, .fr, .ca, .it, .es, .au, .jp and others). Their rules are in the [transfer rules table](https://transferoffshore.com/data/domain-transfer-rules-by-extension/). [With Domain protection](https://transferoffshore.com/domain-protection/): this extension is sold only with Domain protection, because its registry needs a name and address; the registry and WHOIS show DomaineGoat LLC, never you. The price shown includes the $29/year for it. ## Why does a transfer cost the same as a renewal? Because for most extensions a transfer **is** a renewal. On .com, .net, .org and the other gTLDs, the registry charges the gaining registrar one year of registration when it accepts a transfer, and adds that year to the expiry date. ICANN's Transfer Policy caps the total at 10 years. We charge that year at our normal yearly price and nothing on top. You therefore pay once, and the time you had already paid at your old registrar is kept. Country-code extensions follow their registry's own rules. Some add a year at transfer; others, such as .uk, .ch, .pl, .at, .cz, .fi and .nz, keep the expiry date. The checkout still bills the transfer price once for them, and that payment adds no time: renew from My domains when you want more. A .uk changes registrar through a tag, handled with support. The [transfer rules table](https://transferoffshore.com/data/domain-transfer-rules-by-extension/) gives the rule of each one. ## What does a transfer cost elsewhere? Public .com transfer and renewal prices read on domainoffer.net and the registrars' own pages on 19 October 2026 (Gandi: its US price page, before tax; Njalla and OrangeWebsite: their euro prices). Promotional codes are left out. | Registrar | .com transfer | .com renewal | Crypto | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | TransferOffshore | $12.49 | $12.49 | BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC | | Cloudflare Registrar | $10.46 | $10.46 | None documented | | Dynadot | $10.88 | $10.88 | BTC, USDC, USDT, BitPay | | Porkbun | $11.08 | $11.08 | USDC via Coinbase Business | | Gandi | $11.00 | $38.38 | BTC, ETH, BCH via BitPay (BitPay ID required) | | Namecheap | $11.48 | $18.48 | BTC via BTCPay or BitPay | | Njalla | €15 | €15 | BTC, LTC, XMR, ETH | | OrangeWebsite | €18.90 | not stated | BTC, LTC, ETH, BCH, XMR | *Prices checked on October 19, 2026.* Verisign raises the .com wholesale fee from $10.26 to $10.97 on 1 November 2026, so most .com prices will move. Several low prices above come from registrars that are not offshore and may ask for ID: see the [ranking of registrars to transfer to](https://transferoffshore.com/best/offshore-domain-registrars/). ## What does it cost to move a whole portfolio? Multiply the transfer price of each extension by the number of names: there is no setup fee, no per-request fee and no bulk surcharge. Ten .com domains cost ten times $12.49, and each gets one more year. Two habits keep the bill predictable: - **Top up once for a whole wave.** A request holds up to 20 domains, and the checkout asks for the exact total of the cart. - **Check the expiry dates first.** If your old registrar auto-renewed a domain in the last 45 days, the registry cancels that renewal when the domain moves and adds our year instead. The time is kept, but the money you paid for that renewal is a matter for the old registrar's refund policy: move such names before their renewal date when you can. The [bulk transfer guide](https://transferoffshore.com/bulk-domain-transfer/) and the [portfolio plan](https://transferoffshore.com/domain-portfolio-transfer/) explain the batching. ## What is Domain protection, and when is it worth it? [Domain protection](https://transferoffshore.com/domain-protection/) costs $29 a year per domain, on top of the extension price. It registers the domain in the name of DomaineGoat LLC, keeps the transfer lock on by default, holds only your email, and has every complaint read by a person before any action on the domain, a review that exists only with the option. It matters most for names whose owner you would rather keep out of the registry's own records. The registry then holds the company's details, never yours. Some extensions (.de, .uk, .nl, .ch, .cc, .to and others) are sold only this way, because their registry asks for a name and a postal address; the price in the table already includes it. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is there a fee to transfer a domain out later? No. The auth code is free, from your account, at any time, and we charge nothing when a domain leaves. ICANN rules let a registrar refuse a gTLD transfer in the 60 days after a domain arrives, and we apply that rule. See [transfer out](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-out/). ### Do I pay the transfer if it fails? You pay once. If the transfer fails, My domains shows the reason and lets you send a corrected code without a new payment. If you give up on the transfer, write to support about the amount paid; no automatic rule is published for that case yet. The usual causes are a wrong auth code, a lock left on at the old registrar, or a domain registered less than 60 days ago. ### Are the prices in US dollars? Yes, per year, in US dollars. You pay in crypto: the checkout converts the amount into the coin and network you choose, and you send that exact amount. ### How is a .ai billed? The .ai registry charges more per year than most extensions: $86.49 a year here. A new .ai and a .ai renewal are billed two years at a time, the registry's minimum. A .ai transfer is billed 2 years too: $86.49 plus one renewal, $172.98, and the checkout shows that amount before you pay. Since 15 January 2025 the registry adds two years on a transfer, according to secondary sources (Domain Name Wire, registrar notes), so check the expiry date after the move. Details in the [.ai transfer guide](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/ai/). ### Is the price list available as data? Yes.

No ID, no phone, no address, no tracking cookies. - URL: https://transferoffshore.com/privacy/ - Last updated: 2026-10-19 - Publisher: TransferOffshore (https://transferoffshore.com) What DomaineGoat LLC collects when you use TransferOffshore, why, who else receives it and how long it is kept. **Quick answer — What personal data does TransferOffshore collect?** As of 19 October 2026, **TransferOffshore** collects one email per domain, your account number, your list of domains and your balance. It asks for no name, no ID document, no phone number and no postal address, and it uses no tracking cookies. Data goes out only when Panamanian law requires it (a Panamanian court or prosecutor's order), or in a UDRP case. ## Who is responsible for your data? DomaineGoat LLC, a company incorporated in Panama, which operates TransferOffshore. Domains are registered through our ICANN-accredited registrar partner, shown in the RDAP record, which keeps its own legal duties. Contact: support@transferoffshore.com. ## What do we collect? - **One email per domain.** It is required, and it is the only contact detail we collect. ICANN rules require it to be verified within 15 days. It is used to verify the domain, to send transfer codes and to reach you about the domain. It is never published in WHOIS or RDAP. - **Your account number**, which identifies your account. - **Your domains**: names, expiry dates, settings such as nameservers, DNS records, auto-renew and lock, and their history. - **Your balance and payments**: top-ups, amounts, coins, networks and transaction IDs, and what was paid from the balance. - **Messages you send** to support or to the abuse desk. You may use the same email for several domains. ## What do we not collect? No name, no ID document, no selfie, no ID number, no phone number and no postal address. We do not take card or bank details: payment is in crypto only. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. Transfer codes you type in the transfer form stay in your browser tab while you check out. They are not saved in your browser's long-term storage. ## Why do we use this data? To provide the service: to transfer, register, renew and manage your domains; to verify each domain email, as ICANN requires; to match and credit your payments; to answer support requests; and to handle abuse reports under the [abuse policy](https://transferoffshore.com/abuse/). We do not sell your data, and we do not use it for advertising. ## Who else receives data? - **Our ICANN-accredited registrar partner**, shown in the RDAP record, holds the registration data of each domain under its own rules. For a domain in your name, that record is built from your verified email. - **Registries.** What they receive depends on the extension: the .com and .net registries are thin and receive no contact data; others, such as .org or .io, keep the registrant record under their own law. With [Domain protection](https://transferoffshore.com/domain-protection/), they receive only the details of DomaineGoat LLC. - **UDRP dispute providers**, in a trademark dispute, receive the registrant record on file. - **Courts and authorities**: DomaineGoat LLC releases the data it holds only when Panamanian law requires it (a Panamanian court or prosecutor's order), or in a UDRP case. See the [disclosure policy](https://transferoffshore.com/disclosure-policy/). Payments are made on public blockchains. Transactions on them are visible to anyone, outside our control. ## How long is data kept? We keep domain data for as long as the domain is with us and as ICANN rules require. Account and balance data are kept while the account exists. Support and abuse messages are kept as long as needed to handle the case and any follow-up. ## What are your choices? You can change the email of a domain, its settings and its nameservers in My domains. You can transfer a domain out at any time with a free code. To ask what we hold about you, or to ask for a correction, write to support@transferoffshore.com from the email of the domain concerned. ## Changes to this policy We publish any change on this page with its date.

No ID. - URL: https://transferoffshore.com/terms/ - Last updated: 2026-10-19 - Publisher: TransferOffshore (https://transferoffshore.com) The rules that apply between you and DomaineGoat LLC when you transfer, register, renew or hold a domain through TransferOffshore. **Quick answer — What do the TransferOffshore terms say, in short?** These terms, in force as of 19 October 2026, govern your use of **TransferOffshore**, operated by DomaineGoat LLC, a company in Panama. You pay in crypto from a prepaid balance, keep one verified email per domain, follow the acceptable use policy, and can transfer out with a free code. Panamanian law applies. ## 1. Who we are TransferOffshore is the domain transfer service of DomaineGoat LLC, a company incorporated in Panama. Domains are registered through our ICANN-accredited registrar partner, shown in the RDAP record, which keeps its own legal duties and abuse contact. Our Panamanian rules govern what DomaineGoat LLC does with your account, the data it holds and the complaints sent to it. In these terms, "we" means DomaineGoat LLC and "you" means the account holder. Contact: support@transferoffshore.com. ## 2. The service We transfer domains in from other registrars, register new domains, renew them and provide DNS tools, WHOIS and RDAP privacy and the Domain protection option. We sell only the extensions shown on the [price list](https://transferoffshore.com/pricing/). Each registry also applies its own rules, which form part of the contract for its extension. ## 3. Your account Your account is identified by an account number. Keep your access details safe: anyone who has them can manage your domains. We never ask for your password, your account number or your transfer codes by email or chat. We do not ask for a name, an ID document, a phone number or a postal address. Each domain needs one email address that you control: it is required, and it is the only contact detail we collect. You are the registrant of record of a domain in your name. ICANN rules require us to verify it: if it is not confirmed within 15 days, the domain is suspended until it is. You must keep it working and up to date. ## 4. Transfers in You may transfer a domain only if you hold it or are authorised by its holder. You provide the auth code given by the current registrar. A request may contain up to 20 domains. By default, the domain keeps its current nameservers. A transfer depends on the current registrar and the registry. The current registrar has up to 5 days to answer for most gTLDs. Each transfer is billed per domain. On gTLDs, a completed transfer adds one year to the expiry date, up to 10 years in total. For country extensions, the registry decides: some, such as .uk and .ch, keep the expiry date and add no time. We cannot complete a transfer that the current registrar or the registry refuses. ## 5. Prices, balance and payment Prices are per extension and per year, in US dollars, as shown on the [price list](https://transferoffshore.com/pricing/) on the day you pay. We accept crypto only: BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC. You pay from a prepaid balance with a minimum top-up of $25. Send the exact amount shown, on the network shown, then click "I've sent the payment". The payment is matched by its exact amount and credited once the network confirms it. A payment sent on another network, or for another amount, may not be matched. Balance rule: Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new domains, renewals and transfers. When a purchase costs less than the minimum top-up, the part added only to reach the minimum is refundable on request to support within 30 days of the payment, in USDT or USDC, as long as it has not been spent. The rest of the balance is not paid back, except where the law requires it. ## 6. Failed transfers A transfer can fail, for example because of a wrong code, a lock at the current registrar, or a domain under 60 days old. The reason is shown in My domains, and you can enter a new code. Sending a corrected code needs no new payment. If you do not try again, contact support about the amount paid for that transfer. ## 7. Renewals and expiry Auto-renew is on by default for new and transferred domains. It renews each domain from your balance at the renewal price of its extension. You can turn it off for any domain in My domains. If your balance is too low, or auto-renew is off, the domain is not renewed. After expiry, it enters the grace and redemption periods set by the registry. A domain in redemption must be restored before it can be renewed or transferred. Contact support for a restore. You are responsible for renewing on time. ## 8. Domain protection Domain protection is an option at +$29/year per domain, on top of the extension price. With it: 1. the domain is registered in the name of DomaineGoat LLC, and the registry and WHOIS show the company, not you; 2. the transfer lock is on by default, and any transfer or DNS change must be confirmed from your account; 3. your data is kept to a minimum: DomaineGoat LLC holds only your email; 4. every complaint is read by a person before any action on the domain, and you are told when the law allows. This review exists only with Domain protection; the abuse deadlines stay the same. You remain the beneficial owner and keep full control of the domain. You can take it back in your name at any time, for free, with nothing refunded. For extensions sold only with Domain protection, this goes through support. When a domain is transferred in with Domain protection, the time already paid at the old registrar is charged pro rata once the transfer completes. The same abuse and acceptable use policies apply to these domains. ## 9. Transfers out You may transfer a domain to another registrar at any time, subject to ICANN and registry rules. The transfer code is free, from your account, at any time. There is no exit fee. A transfer can be refused within 60 days of a registration or a transfer in, while a domain is in its redemption period, or where ICANN rules oblige any registrar to refuse it, such as a pending UDRP or a court order. ## 10. Your obligations You must: - give an email address you control for each domain, and verify it; - use domains in line with the [acceptable use policy](https://transferoffshore.com/acceptable-use/) and the law; - not register or use a domain in breach of the rights of others; - keep your account access details safe. ## 11. Abuse, disputes and suspension We take no action on a complaint alone. Copyright, defamation, political or competitor complaints need a decision that binds us, from a Panamanian court; foreign judgments must first be recognised in Panama. Phishing, malware, botnets and fraud that takes money from victims lead to action within 24 hours of a documented report, and child sexual abuse material is handled at once, as set out in the [abuse policy](https://transferoffshore.com/abuse/). Trademark disputes go through the UDRP: the domain is locked within 2 business days and the panel decision is applied. We may also suspend a domain when a registry, ICANN or a Panamanian court requires it. A suspended domain stays yours to transfer out, unless the rules that led to the suspension forbid it. ## 12. Your data DomaineGoat LLC releases the data it holds only when Panamanian law requires it (a Panamanian court or prosecutor's order), or in a UDRP case. Details are in the [disclosure policy](https://transferoffshore.com/disclosure-policy/) and the [privacy policy](https://transferoffshore.com/privacy/). ## 13. Liability We provide the service with reasonable care. We are not liable for the acts of registries, other registrars, blockchain networks or DNS providers, nor for losses caused by a lost email, lost access details or a payment sent on the wrong network. Where the law allows a limit, our liability is limited to the amount you paid for the service concerned. Nothing in these terms limits liability where the law forbids it. ## 14. Your rights as a registrant ICANN publishes the rights and duties of every registrant of a gTLD in its Registrants' Benefits and Responsibilities. You confirm that you have read them when you place an order. They are part of these terms: [Registrants' Benefits and Responsibilities](https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/benefits-2013-09-16-en). ## 15. Governing law These terms are governed by the law of the Republic of Panama. Disputes go to the courts of Panama, unless a mandatory rule of law says otherwise. ## 16. Changes to these terms We may change these terms. The new version is published on this page with its date. It applies to orders placed after that date. Prices already paid do not change. ## 17. Contact Questions about these terms: support@transferoffshore.com. Abuse reports: abuse@transferoffshore.com. ## References 1.

What changes is who manages the name for you and which courts that company answers to. What stays is the ICANN rulebook. **Quick answer — How do I transfer a domain to an offshore registrar?** To transfer a domain to an offshore registrar, unlock it, copy its auth code and submit both at the new registrar. **TransferOffshore**, run by DomaineGoat LLC in Panama, moves domains to its ICANN-accredited registrar partner. As of October 2026 it takes up to 20 domains per request, keeps your nameservers and charges **$12.49** for .com, paid in crypto. ## Offshore transfer at a glance | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Destination | An account at DomaineGoat LLC, a company incorporated in Panama; the registrar of record becomes our ICANN-accredited registrar partner, shown in the RDAP record | | What you need | The domain name and its auth (EPP) code; .uk uses an IPS tag instead | | Domains per request | Up to 20, one row each; larger portfolios in several requests | | DNS | Current nameservers kept by default; our nameservers, Cloudflare or custom ones are also possible | | Time | Up to 5 days for .com, .net, .org and other gTLDs | | Price | .com $12.49, billed once, one year added on gTLDs; ccTLDs follow their registry | | Identity | No ID, no KYC — one verified email per domain, the only contact detail collected | | Payment | Crypto only: BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC | | Leaving later | Auth code free, from your account, at any time, no exit fee | ## What does “offshore” mean for a domain registrar? Here, offshore means the company that manages your domain is outside the usual registrar countries, in Panama. TransferOffshore is the domain transfer service of DomaineGoat LLC, a company incorporated in Panama: move one domain or a whole portfolio with its auth codes, keep your DNS running, and pay in crypto with no ID. Domains are registered through our ICANN-accredited registrar partner, shown in the RDAP record, which keeps its own legal duties and abuse contact. Our Panamanian rules govern what DomaineGoat LLC does with your account, the data it holds and the complaints sent to it. That matters for two decisions: acting on a complaint, and handing over data about the holder. Our written policy on both: - **No action on a complaint alone.** A copyright, defamation, political or competitor complaint needs a decision that binds us, from a Panamanian court. Foreign judgments must first be recognised in Panama. - **Data out only when Panamanian law requires it.** DomaineGoat LLC releases the data it holds only when Panamanian law requires it (a Panamanian court or prosecutor's order), or in a UDRP case. - **Strict exceptions, written openly.** Phishing, malware, botnets and fraud that takes money from victims are acted on within 24 hours of a documented report; child sexual abuse material at once. This is not legal advice. The reasons for choosing Panama, and their limits, are on [why Panama](https://transferoffshore.com/why-panama/). The full rules are in the [abuse policy](https://transferoffshore.com/abuse/) and the [disclosure policy](https://transferoffshore.com/disclosure-policy/). ## What does not change when a domain moves offshore? The ICANN rules, the registry and the dispute process stay exactly the same. Our accredited registrar partner signs the same ICANN contract as every other registrar, and keeps its own legal duties. - **The Transfer Policy.** The 60-day rules, the 5-day window and the one-year extension apply wherever the registrar sits. - **UDRP.** Trademark disputes go through the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy, as ICANN requires of every registrar. We apply the panel's decision. - **The registry's own rules.** Registries such as PIR (.org) or Identity Digital (.io) keep the registrant record under their own law; the .com and .net registries run by Verisign are thin and receive no contact data. With [Domain protection](https://transferoffshore.com/domain-protection/), the registry holds the company's details instead of yours. - **Your host and DNS provider.** The registrar sponsors the name only. Your web host and DNS provider follow the law of their own countries. ## What should you check before you move a domain? Five minutes of checks avoid most failed transfers. Run through this list for each domain: 1. **Age.** At least 60 days since the domain was registered or last transferred. Many registrars refuse earlier. 2. **Recent owner changes.** A change of name, organisation or email may have set a 60-day change-of-registrant lock. 3. **Expiry date.** An expired domain can move during the grace period, but not in redemption. See [expired domain transfers](https://transferoffshore.com/expired-domain-transfer/). 4. **Contact email.** The registrant email must work: the auth code and the confirmation messages go there. 5. **DNS host.** If the old registrar hosts your DNS records, copy them first. See [transfer without DNS downtime](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-without-dns-downtime/). 6. **DNSSEC.** If you will change DNS provider, remove the DS record first. 7. **Extension.** Check that we take the extension in: the list is on the [price list](https://transferoffshore.com/pricing/) and in the [guides by extension](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/). The common blocks and their fixes are in [why a domain cannot be transferred](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-lock/). ## How do you transfer a domain to TransferOffshore, step by step? Six steps, the same for one domain or twenty. 1. **Unlock and get the code** — At your current registrar, turn off the transfer lock and request the auth code. Where to find both, registrar by registrar: transfer from…. 2. **Fill in the transfer form** — Open the transfer form. Enter one domain per row with its code, or use “Paste a list” with one domain code pair per line. The code field stays hidden unless you click Show. 3. **Keep your nameservers** — When the cart holds only transfers, “Keep current nameservers” is ticked by default. You can choose our nameservers, Cloudflare or custom ones instead. 4. **Give one email per domain** — We send a verification link. ICANN rules require you to confirm the address within 15 days, or the domain is suspended. It is the only contact detail we collect, kept private. 5. **Pay in crypto** — Choose a coin, send the exact amount and click “I've sent the payment”. The payment is matched by its exact amount and credited once the network confirms it. 6. **Follow it in My domains** — Each domain shows Requested, then Waiting for the current registrar (up to 5 days), then Completed or Failed. A failed row gives the reason and a field to correct the code. ## How long does an offshore transfer take, and what does it cost? A gTLD transfer takes up to 5 days, and it costs the renewal price of the extension. The losing registrar has 5 calendar days to answer; without an answer the transfer is approved by default. If your old registrar offers an “approve transfer” button or email, using it often finishes the move the same day. Prices per year, as of 19 October 2026: .com $12.49, .net $12.99, .org $12.49, .io $53.49. On gTLDs the transfer adds one year to the current expiry date, capped at 10 years. For ccTLDs, the registry decides; .uk and .ch keep the expiry date. Each transfer is billed once, except .ai: 2 years, the transfer price plus one renewal ($172.98). [Domain protection](https://transferoffshore.com/domain-protection/) is optional, at +$29/year per domain. It registers the domain in the name of DomaineGoat LLC. Extensions such as .de, .uk, .nl and .ch are sold only with it, and their listed price already includes it. Every price is on the [price list](https://transferoffshore.com/pricing/). ## Can you move a whole portfolio offshore at once? Yes, in batches of up to 20 domains per request. Each domain keeps its own row and its own code, so one wrong code fails one row, not the batch. For 50 or 500 names, send several requests. Start with the domains that expire soonest, and leave out any name registered or moved in the last 60 days. The [bulk transfer guide](https://transferoffshore.com/bulk-domain-transfer/) and the [portfolio plan](https://transferoffshore.com/domain-portfolio-transfer/) explain how to batch a large move. ## Which extensions cannot move here? Extensions whose registry demands a local presence or an identity check are not sold here. That covers .us, .eu, .fr, .ca, .it, .es, .au and .jp, among others. The transfer form refuses a row whose extension we do not sell. For .uk there is no auth code. The current registrar changes the domain's IPS tag, and Nominet moves it with its expiry date unchanged. Nominet plans to switch to code-based transfers on 9 February 2027, according to Realtime Register. ## Offshore transfer questions ### Is it legal to move my domain to an offshore registrar? Changing registrar is a standard ICANN process open to every domain holder. Moving the name to a service run from Panama does not change the law that applies to you or your content where you live. It changes which courts can order DomaineGoat LLC to act; our registrar partner keeps its own legal duties. This is not legal advice. ### Do I need to show ID to transfer a domain here? No. TransferOffshore asks for no ID document, no selfie, no ID number, no name, no address and no phone number. You give one email per domain, which ICANN requires to be verified within 15 days. It is the only contact detail we collect, and it is never published. Details on the [no-KYC transfer](https://transferoffshore.com/no-kyc-domain-transfer/) page. ### Will my website stay online during the move? Yes, if your nameservers stay the same, which is our default. The transfer changes the sponsoring registrar, not the DNS. The risk is DNS, email forwarding or URL forwarding hosted by the old registrar, which can stop when the domain leaves. Copy those settings before you start. ### Does an offshore registrar protect a domain from a UDRP case? No. Every ICANN-accredited registrar must follow the UDRP, our partner included, and the panel's decision is applied. A pending UDRP case also forces the losing registrar to deny a transfer. What moving offshore changes is how DomaineGoat LLC treats complaints outside the UDRP, such as copyright or defamation claims. ### Can I move my domain away from TransferOffshore later? Yes. The auth code is free, from your account, at any time, and there is no exit fee. The usual ICANN timing still applies: many registrars refuse a new transfer within 60 days of the last one, and we apply the same rule. The steps are on [transfer out](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-out/). ### How do I pay for an offshore transfer? In crypto only: BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC. You top up a balance, with a minimum of $25, and each transfer is paid from it. The requests go to the registries once the top-up is credited. Unused balance stays on your account for renewals and new domains. See [pay with crypto](https://transferoffshore.com/pay-with-crypto/). ## Sources 1.

Copy your DNS records before any transfer. ## What do all 18 registrars have in common? The same ICANN rules sit under every guide. For .com and other gTLDs, a registrar must give you the auth code within 5 calendar days of your request. It may not hold the code back over a payment dispute. Once the gaining registrar files the transfer, the losing one has 5 calendar days to answer. Silence counts as approval. A registrar **may** refuse a transfer within 60 days of a registration or a previous transfer, and many of the 18 say they do. A change of registrant triggers a 60-day lock, unless the registrar lets you opt out first. The [transfer lock guide](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-lock/) explains each case. ## Screen or email: where will my code appear? On screen at 11 of the 18 registrars, including Cloudflare, Porkbun, Gandi, OVHcloud and Dynadot. GoDaddy does both: it shows the code and emails it. Six send it by email only: Namecheap, Squarespace, Wix, NameSilo, Network Solutions and Epik. The address matters. Namecheap, Squarespace and Network Solutions write to the registrant contact. NameSilo writes to the administrative contact. Fix an outdated contact email before you ask for the code. Njalla is a case apart: it is the registrant of record, per its terms as quoted on a forum, and its transfer-out steps could not be read on 19 October 2026. ## What should I do before requesting any code? Three checks save most failed transfers: - **Dates.** Look up the creation and last-transfer dates in WHOIS. Under 60 days, many registrars refuse. - **DNS.** If your nameservers belong to the old registrar, rebuild the zone elsewhere first. Cloudflare, Hover and Network Solutions make this step mandatory in practice. - **Email.** Gandi, Hover and Wix stop their own mail or site when the domain leaves. Move mailboxes and MX records first. Then paste each name and code on the [transfer form](https://transferoffshore.com/app/domains/transfer?lang=en). TransferOffshore keeps your current nameservers by default and takes up to 20 domains per request.

Not for long. ICANN's Transfer Policy says a registrar must provide the code within 5 calendar days of the registrant's request. It may not withhold the code over a payment dispute. It may still deny a transfer for set reasons, such as the 60-day period after a registration. Our [auth code guide](https://transferoffshore.com/auth-code/) covers the details. ### Does any registrar charge a fee to transfer out? None of the 18 states one on the pages we read on 19 October 2026, but none says leaving is free either. Third-party sites claim a fee at Squarespace, with conflicting amounts. TransferOffshore charges no exit fee, and its auth code is free, from your account, at any time. ### How long does a transfer from my registrar take? Up to 5 days for most gTLDs, since the losing registrar has 5 calendar days to answer. GoDaddy states up to seven days, and Squarespace says the whole move can take up to 15 days. Approving early, where the registrar allows it, often ends the wait the same day. ### Will my website go offline during the transfer? Not if your nameservers keep answering. A transfer changes the registrar, not the DNS host. The risk comes from DNS or email hosted by the old registrar, which can stop when the domain leaves. TransferOffshore keeps current nameservers by default; see [transfer without DNS downtime](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-without-dns-downtime/). ### My registrar is not in the list. What then? The same three steps apply: unlock, get the auth code, approve or wait. Look for "transfer out", "auth code" or "EPP code" in its help center. The [how transfers work](https://transferoffshore.com/how-domain-transfers-work/) guide covers the general case, and support@transferoffshore.com can help with a specific registrar. ## Sources 1.

Locks, causes and fixes > Why can't I transfer my domain? 10 causes and fixes: 60-day lock, clientTransferProhibited, wrong code, redemption, UDRP. No ID, paid in crypto. - URL: https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-lock/ - Last updated: 2026-10-19 - Publisher: TransferOffshore (https://transferoffshore.com) Almost every refused transfer has one of ten causes. Find yours in the table, read the domain's status to confirm it, and apply the fix. **Quick answer — Why can't I transfer my domain?** If you can't transfer your domain, a lock is usually the cause. The three common ones are the 60-day period after registration or transfer, a change-of-registrant lock, and the clientTransferProhibited status. As of October 2026, **TransferOffshore** shows the failure reason in My domains, where you can send a corrected code. ## Transfer locks: key facts | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Lock after registration or transfer | 60 days; registrars may deny within it, many do, and some registries enforce it | | Change-of-registrant lock | 60 days after a change of name, organisation or email; the registrar must deny unless you opted out | | Registrar lock | Status clientTransferProhibited; you can turn it off in the dashboard | | Registry lock | Status serverTransferProhibited; only the registrar or registry can lift it | | Redemption period | No transfer at all; restore the domain at the old registrar first | | Must-deny cases | Pending UDRP, court order, TDRP, URS | | Where to read the status | ICANN Lookup (lookup.icann.org), which reads RDAP data | | Coming change | 30-day locks under the policy adopted on 7 June 2026; no effective date as of 19 October 2026 | ## Which lock is stopping your transfer?

Because the current ICANN Transfer Policy allows it, not because it requires it. A registrar **may** deny a transfer within 60 days of the creation date, or within 60 days after a previous transfer. Many registrars apply that rule, and some registry agreements turn it into a registry lock. To count the days, read the domain's Created date, or the date of its last transfer, in ICANN Lookup. Add 60 days, and plan the move for the day after. The policy adopted on 7 June 2026 replaces this with a **mandatory 30-day lock** (720 hours). It applies after creation and after a transfer. It is not in force: as of 19 October 2026, no effective date has been published. The changes are on [ICANN transfer policy changes](https://transferoffshore.com/news/icann-transfer-policy-changes/). ## What is the change-of-registrant lock, and can you avoid it? It is a 60-day block on transfers after a change to the domain's owner details. Under the current policy, a material change to the registrant's name, organisation or email counts as a change of registrant. The registrar must then impose a 60-day inter-registrar transfer lock, and must deny any transfer during it. The registrar **may** let you opt out before the change is made. Some offer it as a checkbox or a “skip” option; others build it into their terms. Once the lock is set, there is no shortcut: wait out the 60 days. The lesson for a move: **update contact details after the transfer, not before**, unless you take the opt-out. The new policy removes this lock and its opt-out, but only once it takes effect. ## How do you read a domain's status with ICANN Lookup? Open lookup.icann.org, type the domain name and read the Domain Status lines. ICANN Lookup reads the registration data over RDAP, the protocol that replaced WHOIS for gTLDs. It shows the data the registry and the registrar publish. 1. **Look the domain up** — Go to lookup.icann.org and enter the name, for example example.com. 2. **Read the statuses** — Each Domain Status line is an EPP code. clientTransferProhibited is your registrar's lock; serverTransferProhibited is the registry's. 3. **Read the dates** — Created, Updated and Expiration dates tell you whether the 60-day period has passed and whether the domain has expired. 4. **Read the registrar** — The Registrar field names the losing registrar, the one that must release the domain. A domain showing only “ok” (or “active”) has no status lock. Country extensions publish less data, and some do not use RDAP; check them at the registry or the registrar. ## What can a registrar never use to block your transfer? The policy lists reasons a registrar may **not** use. If your old registrar gives one of these, it breaks its ICANN contract: - non-payment for a pending or future registration period; - no response from the registrant or the admin contact to its emails; - a lock you had no reasonable way to remove yourself; - the expiration or non-renewal of the domain, per ICANN's registrant FAQ. It also may not hold back the auth code over a payment dispute. Without a self-service tool, it must provide the code within 5 calendar days. More on the code in [what an auth code is](https://transferoffshore.com/auth-code/). ## What do you see in TransferOffshore when a transfer fails? The domain's row in My domains turns to **Failed** and states the reason. Typical reasons are a wrong transfer code, a domain still locked, or less than 60 days since registration. A form on the same page takes a corrected code, so you do not start over. If the block is a time-based lock, note the date and come back after it. If it is a status lock, remove it at the old registrar, then resend. Where each registrar keeps its lock switch is in the [transfer from…](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-from/) guides. Prices are on the [price list](https://transferoffshore.com/pricing/). ## Transfer lock questions ### How do I remove clientTransferProhibited? Turn off the transfer lock (also called domain lock or registrar lock) in your current registrar's dashboard. Check ICANN Lookup afterwards to confirm the status is gone. Some registrars switch the lock back on after a few days (OVHcloud after 7). Request the code and submit the transfer soon after unlocking. ### Can the 60-day lock after registration be waived? Sometimes. Under the current ICANN policy the 60-day period after registration or transfer is a reason a registrar may use, not one it must use. A registrar can choose not to apply it, but many do, and some registries enforce the lock themselves. The policy adopted in June 2026 will make it a fixed 30 days. ### I changed my email and now cannot transfer. Why? Changing the registrant's email can count as a change of registrant, which sets a 60-day transfer lock. The registrar must deny transfers during it, unless you opted out before the change. Wait for the lock to end, and next time ask for the opt-out before editing contact details. ### Can I transfer a domain during a UDRP dispute? No. Once the registrar has been told about a UDRP proceeding, it must deny any transfer until the case ends. The same applies to a court order, a TDRP case or a URS proceeding. The rule applies offshore too: at TransferOffshore, UDRP panel decisions are applied, as ICANN requires of every registrar. ### My domain expired. Is that why the transfer fails? Not by itself: registrars may not deny a transfer because a domain expired. The blocks come from the redemption period, where the domain must be restored first, or from an unpaid past period with a Registrar Hold. See [expired domain transfers](https://transferoffshore.com/expired-domain-transfer/). ### What does serverTransferProhibited mean? The registry, not your registrar, has blocked transfers. ICANN describes it as uncommon and often tied to a dispute or a redemption period. Some owners also buy a registry lock service that sets it on purpose. Ask your registrar which case applies, because only it can ask the registry to lift it. ## Sources 1.

No exit fee; 60-day rule explained. - URL: https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-out/ - Last updated: 2026-10-19 - Publisher: TransferOffshore (https://transferoffshore.com) You can leave at any time. This page shows the three steps in My domains, what can block a transfer out, and how Domain protection domains leave. **Quick answer — How do I transfer a domain out of TransferOffshore?** To transfer a domain out of **TransferOffshore**, open it in My domains, unlock it, and get the auth code, which is free, from your account, at any time. Give the code to your new registrar. There is no exit fee. As of October 2026, most transfers complete within 5 days, unless the domain is less than 60 days old. ## Transfer out at a glance | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Auth code | free, from your account, at any time | | Exit fee | None | | Where | My domains, then the domain's Transfer tab | | Code delivery | Sent to the registrant email, or shown in the account | | Code validity | Usually 5 to 14 days | | Young domains | Usually blocked for 60 days after registration or a transfer in | | Expired domains | The Transfer tab asks you to renew first; write to support to move one in its grace period | | Domain protection | Take it back in your name first, or transfer it directly | ## How do I get my auth code? You get it yourself, in three numbered steps, from the **Transfer** tab of the domain in My domains: 1. **Unlock the domain.** Turn the transfer lock off. 2. **Get the transfer code.** Click the button. The code is sent to the registrant email, or shown on screen. 3. **Give it to your new registrar.** Paste it in their transfer form. The code is free, from your account, at any time. You do not need to write to support or explain why you are leaving. Codes are usually valid for 5 to 14 days, so start the transfer at the new registrar soon after. Nobody at TransferOffshore will ask you for this code by email or chat. Give it only to the registrar you are moving to. ## Is there a fee to transfer a domain out? No. TransferOffshore charges no exit fee and no fee for the code. The only cost is the transfer price at your new registrar, which usually adds one year on gTLDs such as .com. The time left on the domain is not lost. On gTLDs, the new registrar adds one year to the current expiry date, up to the 10-year maximum. Any balance left on your account stays there under the balance rule in the [terms](https://transferoffshore.com/terms/). ## What can block a transfer out? The Transfer tab tells you when a domain cannot leave yet, and why: - **The 60-day rule.** After a registration or a transfer in, the tab shows the date from which transfers are allowed. The ICANN Transfer Policy lets registrars deny a transfer within 60 days of those events, and some registries enforce it too. - **An expired domain.** The tab asks you to renew it first. ICANN rules say a registrar may not refuse a transfer only because a domain expired, so write to support if you want to move it during its grace period. A domain in redemption must be restored first. - **An email that is not verified.** The tab shows a warning, because the code goes to that address. - **The transfer lock.** It must be off before the code works. ICANN rules also oblige any registrar to refuse a transfer in a few cases. These include a pending UDRP dispute the registrar has been told about, and a court order. ## How long does a transfer out take? Up to 5 days for most gTLDs. Once your new registrar sends the request, the registry gives the losing registrar 5 calendar days to answer. Without an answer, the transfer is approved by default under the ICANN Transfer Policy. Country extensions follow their own registry rules. Some are faster, and a few do not use an auth code at all. The [rules by extension](https://transferoffshore.com/data/domain-transfer-rules-by-extension/) list them. After the transfer, the domain appears in My domains as "Transferred out", read-only. ## How do Domain protection domains leave? A [Domain protection](https://transferoffshore.com/domain-protection/) domain is registered in the name of DomaineGoat LLC, with you as the beneficial owner. Its transfer lock is on by default, and any transfer must be confirmed from your account. You have two ways out. **1. Take it back in your name first.** In the domain's overview, choose to put it in your name. It is free, at any time, and nothing is refunded. For extensions sold only with Domain protection, such as .de or .uk, this goes through support, because the registry needs a full registrant record. Then transfer it like any other domain. **2. Transfer it directly.** You get the code the same way. The domain arrives at the new registrar with the company as registrant. Your new registrar needs your registrant details to update the record. Plan ahead with option 1. Under the ICANN Transfer Policy, a change of registrant can start a 60-day transfer lock. Ask support before the change if you want to transfer right after. ## Should I prepare DNS before I leave? Yes, if you use our nameservers. The DNS records hosted with us may stop when the domain leaves. Copy them to the DNS host you will use next, switch the nameservers, then transfer. If your domain already uses Cloudflare or your own nameservers, nothing changes: the nameservers move with the domain. With DNSSEC on our nameservers, turn it off and wait for the DS record to clear before the move. See [transfer without DNS downtime](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-without-dns-downtime/). ## Why does TransferOffshore publish this? Because you should never be locked in. A registrar that makes leaving hard is a risk to every domain it holds. We publish the steps, the free code and the absence of an exit fee so you can judge the exit before you come in. The same standard is how we compare others: the [registrar transfer-out index](https://transferoffshore.com/data/registrar-transfer-out-index/) shows how other registrars handle the code and the lock. ## Transfer out in four steps 1. **Unlock** — In My domains, open the domain's Transfer tab and turn the lock off. 2. **Get the code** — Click to get the transfer code. It is sent to the registrant email or shown. 3. **Start at the new registrar** — Enter the domain and the code in their transfer form, while the code is valid. 4. **Done in up to 5 days** — The domain shows "Transferred out" in My domains once the move is complete. ## Transfer out: FAQ ### Do I have to contact support to leave? No. Unlocking and getting the code are self-service, in the domain's Transfer tab. Support is needed only in a few cases, such as putting a .de or .uk domain with Domain protection back in your name before it leaves. ### Why is my transfer out blocked for 60 days? Because the domain was registered or transferred in less than 60 days ago. The ICANN Transfer Policy lets registrars refuse a transfer in that window, and some registries enforce it themselves. The Transfer tab shows the date from which the domain can leave. ### My code expired before I used it. What now? Get a new one from the same Transfer tab, at no cost. Codes are usually valid for 5 to 14 days. Start the transfer at your new registrar soon after you get the code. ### Can I transfer out a domain that has expired? Yes, during its grace period, but not in redemption. The Transfer tab asks you to renew an expired domain first; ICANN rules say a registrar may not refuse a transfer only because a domain expired, so write to support if you do not want to renew. A domain in redemption must be restored before it can leave. ### Do you refund the time left on my domain? No refund is needed: the time is kept. On gTLDs such as .com, the new registrar adds one year to the current expiry date, up to 10 years in total. Unused account balance stays on your account under the balance rule. ## Sources 1.

No ID, paid in crypto. - URL: https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-without-dns-downtime/ - Last updated: 2026-10-19 - Publisher: TransferOffshore (https://transferoffshore.com) A registrar transfer does not touch DNS by itself. Outages come from three places: DNS hosted by the old registrar, a DNSSEC record that no longer matches, and forwarding services that stop when the domain leaves. **Quick answer — How do I transfer a domain without DNS downtime?** To transfer a domain without DNS downtime, keep the same nameservers and check that your DNS is not hosted by the old registrar. A transfer changes the registrar, not the DNS, and takes up to 5 days. As of October 2026, **TransferOffshore** keeps current nameservers by default; copy every record first if the old registrar hosts them. ## DNS during a transfer: key facts | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Nameservers | Stored at the registry and unchanged by the transfer itself | | Our default | Current nameservers kept (“Keep current nameservers” is ticked when the cart holds only transfers) | | Main risk | DNS records, email forwarding or URL forwarding hosted by the old registrar | | Records to copy | A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, site verification), CAA, SRV, and NS for delegated subdomains | | DNSSEC | Keep the same DNS operator, or remove the DS record before changing it | | Cloudflare Registrar | Requires Cloudflare nameservers while the domain is registered there | | Transfer time | Up to 5 days on gTLDs; the DNS keeps answering during that time if nothing else changes | ## Why does a registrar transfer not interrupt DNS? Because the nameservers are part of the registry's record, and the transfer leaves them alone. The registry swaps the sponsoring registrar and extends the expiry date. The NS delegation that tells the world where to find your DNS stays the same. TransferOffshore keeps it that way by default. In the Nameservers step of the checkout, **Keep current nameservers** is ticked when your cart holds only transfers. You can pick our nameservers, Cloudflare or custom ones instead, and change this later in My domains. So the question is never “does the transfer move my DNS?”. It is “who answers for my nameservers, and will they still answer once the domain has left?”. ## When does a domain transfer cause downtime? Downtime happens when a service tied to the old registrar stops after the domain leaves. Check these four cases before you start: - **DNS hosted by the old registrar.** Many registrars include free DNS. The zone usually lives on their nameservers, and it may be deleted when the domain leaves. Squarespace, for example, tells customers to save their DNS records because most providers won't keep them (per its help center, October 2026). - **Mailboxes or forwarding at the old registrar.** Gandi says its mailbox service stops at once when a domain transfers out. The mail data is deleted 7 days later (per its documentation, October 2026). - **DNSSEC.** A DS record at the registry that points to keys your new DNS host does not have breaks resolution. - **Cloudflare Registrar.** Domains registered there must use Cloudflare nameservers, and the zone's fate after the transfer is not documented. If your nameservers belong to an independent provider, such as your host or a DNS service, none of this applies. The transfer is then invisible to visitors. ## Which DNS records do you need to copy? Copy every record in the zone, not only the website ones. Missing email and verification records cause the quietest failures: mail bounces or lands in spam days later. | Record | What it does | Easy to forget | | --- | --- | --- | | A | IPv4 address of the website and other hosts | Records on subdomains such as shop or api | | AAAA | IPv6 address | Hosts that have only IPv6 records | | CNAME | Alias to another name | www, CDN and mail-client autoconfig names | | MX | Where email for the domain is delivered | The priority number of each server | | TXT (SPF) | Which servers may send mail as the domain | One SPF record only, at the apex | | TXT (DKIM) | Public key that signs your mail | Lives at selector._domainkey, one per mail service | | TXT (DMARC) | Policy for mail that fails SPF or DKIM | Lives at _dmarc | | CAA | Which certificate authorities may issue certificates | A missing CAA can block certificate renewal | | SRV | Service location (SIP, XMPP, autodiscover) | The _service._protocol names | Also copy site-verification TXT records (search consoles, mail providers) and any NS records that delegate a subdomain to another provider. Export the zone file if the old registrar offers it, then compare it record by record. ## How do you check your records with dig? Query the current nameserver directly, save the answers, then ask the new DNS host the same questions before you switch. Matching answers mean the new zone is ready. Replace example.com with your domain and the nameserver names with the ones `dig NS` returns. *Compare a zone before and after a DNS move* ```bash #!/usr/bin/env bash # Who answers for the domain today? dig +short NS example.com OLD_NS=ns1.old-dns.example.com # a nameserver from the line above NEW_NS=ns1.new-dns.example.com # a nameserver of the new DNS host # Apex records: run once against each nameserver and compare for ns in "$OLD_NS" "$NEW_NS"; do echo "== $ns" for type in A AAAA MX TXT CAA; do echo "-- $type" dig +short "$type" example.com "@$ns" | sort done done # Names that live below the apex dig +short CNAME www.example.com "@$OLD_NS" dig +short TXT _dmarc.example.com "@$OLD_NS" dig +short TXT selector1._domainkey.example.com "@$OLD_NS" dig +short SRV _sip._tls.example.com "@$OLD_NS" # Is DNSSEC on? Any DS answer means yes dig +short DS example.com # TTL of the records you will change (second column) dig +noall +answer A example.com "@$OLD_NS" ``` ## How do you move DNS away from the old registrar safely? Move the DNS first, wait, then transfer the domain. Two changes on the same day make any fault hard to trace. 1. **Lower the TTLs.** A day or two ahead, set the TTL of the records you will change to 300 seconds, so caches forget the old answers quickly. 2. **Build the new zone.** Create every record at the new DNS host: our nameservers, Cloudflare or another provider. 3. **Compare.** Run the `dig` checks above against the old and the new nameserver until the answers match. 4. **Switch the nameservers at the old registrar.** Some registrars block DNS edits while a transfer is pending, so do this before the transfer starts. 5. **Wait for the delegation to update.** NS records at the registry can stay cached for up to two days on .com. 6. **Start the transfer** with **Keep current nameservers** ticked. The domain arrives already pointing at the new DNS. Once the domain has arrived and everything works, raise the TTLs again. ## What about DNSSEC during a transfer? If the DNS operator stays the same, leave DNSSEC alone; if it changes, remove the DS record first. DNSSEC links the registry to your DNS keys through a DS record. Validating resolvers reject answers that do not match it. - **Same DNS operator, same keys.** The DS record stays valid. The transfer does not touch it. - **New DNS operator.** Remove the DS record at the registrar, wait at least two days for caches to expire, then change the nameservers. Sign the zone at the new host and add the new DS record once it publishes signed answers. - **DNS and DNSSEC both managed by the old registrar.** Its keys leave with its DNS service, so treat this as a new operator. A mismatched DS record is a full outage for every user behind a validating resolver, not a partial one. Several registrars, including Squarespace, ask you to turn DNSSEC off before a transfer. In our panel, changing nameservers while DNSSEC is on shows a warning first. ## What if the domain is at Cloudflare Registrar? Cloudflare Registrar requires Cloudflare nameservers, so the zone and the registration are tied together. Its documentation states that all domains on Cloudflare Registrar use Cloudflare nameservers (as of October 2026). Cloudflare does not document whether the zone keeps answering once the domain has transferred out. Its remove-domain page says removing a domain stops Cloudflare DNS resolution. Two safe options: - **Keep Cloudflare DNS.** Before you approve the transfer, check in the Cloudflare dashboard that the zone will stay active. Then transfer with “Keep current nameservers”, or choose the Cloudflare preset in the form. - **Move DNS first.** Build the zone at another DNS host, switch the nameservers, wait, then transfer. The Cloudflare steps for the code and the lock are in the [Cloudflare transfer guide](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-from/cloudflare/). ## What happens to email forwarding and URL forwarding? They stop when the old registrar no longer serves the domain. Forwarding is a service the registrar runs on its own servers, tied to its own nameservers. - **Email forwarding.** Aliases such as contact@ forwarded to a personal inbox stop receiving mail. Recreate them at your mail provider, or in our panel if you use our nameservers. - **URL forwarding.** A redirect from example.com to another site stops. Recreate it as a redirect at your web host, or in our panel with our nameservers. - **Mailboxes sold by the registrar.** Move the mail and change the MX records before the transfer, not after. With our nameservers, the domain page includes DNS records, web forwarding, email forwarding and DNSSEC. ## Pre-flight checklist before you transfer 1. **Find who runs your DNS** — Run dig +short NS on the domain. If the names belong to the old registrar, plan a DNS move first. 2. **Export or copy every record** — A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, CAA, SRV and delegated NS records, including subdomains. 3. **Check DNSSEC** — If dig +short DS answers and the DNS operator will change, remove the DS record and wait. 4. **List forwarding and mailboxes** — Note every email alias and URL redirect hosted by the old registrar, and rebuild them elsewhere. 5. **Lower TTLs a day ahead** — 300 seconds on the records you will change makes any fix visible fast. 6. **Transfer with nameservers kept** — Leave “Keep current nameservers” ticked in the transfer form. ## DNS and transfer questions ### Will my website go down during a domain transfer? Not if your DNS is hosted by an independent provider and the nameservers stay the same. The transfer changes the registrar in the registry's record, not the delegation. TransferOffshore keeps your current nameservers by default. Downtime comes from DNS, forwarding or DNSSEC managed by the old registrar. ### Does my email keep working during the transfer? Yes, if the MX records stay on the same DNS and your mailboxes are not sold by the old registrar. Check the SPF, DKIM and DMARC records too: if you copy a zone and miss them, mail may still arrive but land in spam. Mailboxes bought from the registrar need moving before the transfer. ### Should I change nameservers before or after the transfer? Before, if the old registrar hosts your DNS. Some registrars block DNS changes while a transfer is pending, and the delegation can stay cached for up to two days on .com. Move DNS, check it with dig, wait, then transfer with the nameservers kept. ### Do I need to turn off DNSSEC to transfer a domain? Only if the DNS operator changes. With the same operator and keys, the DS record stays valid through the transfer. If the old registrar signs your zone, its keys stop with its DNS. Remove the DS record first, then add a new one at the new host. ### Can I keep using Cloudflare DNS after leaving Cloudflare Registrar? Cloudflare does not document it clearly as of October 2026. Its registrar requires Cloudflare nameservers while the domain is registered there, and its remove-domain page says removing a domain stops resolution. Check in the dashboard that the zone stays active before you approve, or move the DNS first. ### How long should I lower the TTL before the move? At least as long as the current TTL, so old cached answers expire first. A record with a TTL of 86,400 seconds needs a full day. Setting 300 seconds a day or two ahead is a common margin. Raise it again once the new DNS has run without errors. ## Sources 1.

No ID, paid in crypto. - URL: https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/ - Last updated: 2026-10-19 - Publisher: TransferOffshore (https://transferoffshore.com) Every registry moves domains its own way. Pick your extension to see how the domain moves, whether a year is added, which lock applies and how long it takes. **Quick answer — How do domain transfers differ by extension?** **TransferOffshore** publishes 28 transfer guides for its main extensions, checked on 19 October 2026. gTLDs such as .com use an auth code, a 5-day window and add one year. Some country codes differ: .de and .nl move immediately, .uk uses a tag instead of a code, and .ai adds two years. ## Transfer rules at a glance | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Guides by extension | 28 guides; every extension sold is on the price list | | Auth code and +1 year | .com, .net, .org, .info, .biz, .xyz, .app, .dev, .online, .shop, .store, .site, .tech, .cloud, .pro, .top | | Two years added | .ai (since 15 January 2025, secondary source) | | Immediate once the code matches | .de (DENIC), .nl (SIDN) | | No code: tag change | .uk (Nominet IPS tag, until 9 February 2027) | | No year added | .uk, .ch (the transfer price is billed once and adds no time) | | Sold only with Domain protection | .de, .uk, .nl, .ch, .cc, .to | | Nameservers | Kept by default during the transfer | | Per request | Up to 20 domains, each with its own code | ## Pick your extension Each guide names the registry, the transfer mechanism, the code validity, the lock after registration and the usual time. - [.com](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/com/) - [.net](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/net/) - [.org](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/org/) - [.io](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/io/) - [.ai](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/ai/) - [.co](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/co/) - [.app](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/app/) - [.dev](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/dev/) - [.xyz](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/xyz/) - [.info](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/info/) - [.me](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/me/) - [.de](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/de/) - [.uk](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/uk/) - [.online](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/online/) - [.shop](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/shop/) - [.store](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/store/) - [.site](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/site/) - [.tech](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/tech/) - [.nl](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/nl/) - [.top](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/top/) - [.biz](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/biz/) - [.tv](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/tv/) - [.cc](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/cc/) - [.gg](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/gg/) - [.to](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/to/) - [.ch](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/ch/) - [.cloud](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/cloud/) - [.pro](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/pro/) ## Which extensions add a year when you transfer them? All generic extensions add one year. ICANN's Transfer Policy says a completed transfer extends the registration by one year, with at most 10 years left in total. That covers [.com](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/com/), [.net](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/net/), [.org](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/org/), [.info](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/info/), [.xyz](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/xyz/), [.app](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/app/), [.dev](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/dev/) and the other gTLDs on this page. Country codes follow their own registry. Registrar notes say [.io](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/io/), [.co](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/co/), [.me](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/me/), [.tv](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/tv/), [.gg](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/gg/), [.cc](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/cc/) and [.to](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/to/) renew on transfer, without stating the length. [.ai](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/ai/) adds two years at the registry, and we bill its transfer as 2 years (transfer + one renewal, $172.98). [.uk](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/uk/) and [.ch](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/ch/) keep the old expiry date. For [.de](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/de/) and [.nl](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/nl/), the term is billed by the registrar, so the answer depends on it. When a guide says the length is not stated, compare the expiry date before and after the move. ## How long does a transfer take for each extension? Up to 5 calendar days for gTLDs. The losing registrar has five days to object, and if it stays silent the transfer goes through. Many registrars approve earlier. A few registries skip the wait. DENIC moves a .de as soon as the AuthInfo matches. SIDN moves a .nl as soon as the token is submitted. Registrar notes describe .gg as real-time. At the other end, registrar notes give the losing registrar 7 days for .ai. In every case, your nameservers are kept by default, so the website and email keep answering while the request waits. The status in My domains goes from Requested to Waiting for the current registrar, then Completed or Failed with the reason. ## Which locks can block a transfer? Three kinds of lock matter: - **The registrar lock** (`clientTransferProhibited`). You remove it yourself in your current account before you start. - **The 60-day period after registration or a transfer.** ICANN lets gTLD registrars refuse in that window, and many registries apply it as a hard lock. Registrar notes list it for .com, .info, .biz, .xyz, .online, .cloud, .top, .io, .co, .me, .tv, .cc and .to. - **The 60-day lock after a change of registrant** on gTLDs, unless you opted out before the change. The adopted ICANN Transfer Policy Review will shorten the post-registration and post-transfer locks to 30 days. ICANN has not published a start date, so the 60-day rules still apply on 19 October 2026. ## Why are some extensions sold only with Domain protection? Because their registry needs a holder name and address, and we ask for one verified email only. For [.de](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/de/), [.uk](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/uk/), [.nl](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/nl/), [.ch](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/ch/), [.cc](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/cc/) and [.to](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer/to/), DomaineGoat LLC becomes the holder of record, and the registry receives our details, not yours. The transfer and the change of registrant go in the same order. The prices in the table below already include [Domain protection](https://transferoffshore.com/domain-protection/) (+$29/year per domain) for these six. A .uk transfer goes through support, because it uses a tag instead of a code. ## Transfer prices of every extension Per year, in US dollars, as of 19 October 2026. Transfer, renewal and first year cost the same. | Extension | 1st year | Renewal | Transfer | WHOIS privacy | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | .com | $12.49 | $12.49 | $12.49 | Free | | .net | $12.99

list](https://transferoffshore.com/pricing/). Rules for 40 extensions, including some we do not sell, are in the [transfer rules table](https://transferoffshore.com/data/domain-transfer-rules-by-extension/). [With Domain protection](https://transferoffshore.com/domain-protection/): this extension is sold only with Domain protection, because its registry needs a name and address; the registry and WHOIS show DomaineGoat LLC, never you. The price shown includes the $29/year for it. ## What is the same for every extension? The way you order. Enter the domain and its code in the [transfer form](https://transferoffshore.com/app/domains/transfer?lang=en), one line per domain, up to 20 per request. You can also paste a list with the domain and the code on each line. Larger portfolios go in several requests: see [bulk domain transfer](https://transferoffshore.com/bulk-domain-transfer/). Payment is in crypto only (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC), from a balance topped up with at least $25. No ID and no KYC: one verified email per domain, kept private. WHOIS privacy is included where the registry allows it, and the code to leave is free, from your account, at any time. ## Questions about extensions ### Is my extension missing from this list? Then we do not have a guide for it yet, or we do not sell it. Some extensions, such as .us, .eu, .fr, .ca, .es and .it, are not sold here because of their registry rules. Their transfer rules are still in the [transfer rules table](https://transferoffshore.com/data/domain-transfer-rules-by-extension/). ### Can I transfer domains with different extensions in one request? Yes. One request holds up to 20 domains, and they can mix extensions. Each line has its own code and its own status. A .de may complete within minutes while a .com waits up to 5 days. ### Which extension transfers fastest? Among those we sell, .de and .nl: DENIC and SIDN move the domain as soon as the code or token matches. Registrar notes also describe .gg as real-time. gTLDs such as .com take up to 5 days, unless the losing registrar approves earlier. ### Do all extensions keep my DNS during the transfer? Yes. TransferOffshore keeps your current nameservers by default for every extension, so the website and email keep working. The only risk is DNS hosted for free by the old registrar. Copy those records first: see [transfer without DNS downtime](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-without-dns-downtime/). ## Sources 1.

Domains are registered through our ICANN-accredited registrar partner, shown in the RDAP record. --- # Why move your domains to a service in Panama? > Why move domains to a service run from Panama: no action on a complaint alone, data out only when Panamanian law requires it or in a UDRP case, no ID, crypto. - URL: https://transferoffshore.com/why-panama/ - Last updated: 2026-10-19 - Publisher: TransferOffshore (https://transferoffshore.com) A company's country decides which courts it answers to. It does not decide everything. This guide sets out our due process, what Panamanian law says on foreign judgments and personal data, and the global rules that stay the same. **Quick answer — Why move domains to a service in Panama?** Moving domains to **TransferOffshore**, run by DomaineGoat LLC in Panama, changes who decides on complaints and on the data we hold: as of October 2026, we act on Panamanian orders, and foreign judgments must first be recognised in Panama. It does not change ICANN rules, the UDRP, the registry's rules or the duties of our accredited registrar partner. A .com transfer costs $12.49. ## Key facts (as of 19 October 2026) | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Operator | DomaineGoat LLC, incorporated in Panama; it does not hold its own ICANN accreditation | | Registrar of record | Our ICANN-accredited registrar partner, shown in the RDAP record, which keeps its own legal duties and abuse contact | | Complaints | No action on a complaint alone: copyright, defamation, political or competitor complaints need a decision that binds us, from a Panamanian court | | Your data | Released only when Panamanian law requires it (a Panamanian court or prosecutor's order), or in a UDRP case | | Foreign judgments in Panama | Examined by the Fourth Chamber of General Business of the Supreme Court before they can be enforced (Judicial Code, art. 100) | | Panamanian data law | Law 81 of 26 March 2019 (Gaceta Oficial 28743-A), regulated by Executive Decree 285 of 28 May 2021 (Gaceta Oficial 29296-A) | | Still applies everywhere | ICANN contract, UDRP, registry rules, abuse duties, our registrar partner's own duties | ## What changes when your domains are managed from Panama? TransferOffshore is the domain transfer service of DomaineGoat LLC, a company incorporated in Panama: move one domain or a whole portfolio with its auth codes, keep your DNS running, and pay in crypto with no ID. Domains are registered through our ICANN-accredited registrar partner, shown in the RDAP record, which keeps its own legal duties and abuse contact. Our Panamanian rules govern what DomaineGoat LLC does with your account, the data it holds and the complaints sent to it. Our policy, decided on 8 October 2026: 1. **No action on a complaint alone.** A copyright, defamation, political or competitor complaint is not enough. We need a decision that binds us, from a Panamanian court. Foreign judgments must first be recognised in Panama. 2. **Data out only when Panamanian law requires it.** DomaineGoat LLC releases the data it holds only when Panamanian law requires it (a Panamanian court or prosecutor's order), or in a UDRP case. 3. **No ID, no KYC** — one verified email per domain, the only contact detail we collect. 4. **Strict exceptions, written openly.** Phishing, malware, botnets and fraud that takes money from victims are acted on within 24 hours of a documented report; child sexual abuse material at once. Reports go to abuse@transferoffshore.com, with no account needed. The full rules are in our [disclosure policy](https://transferoffshore.com/disclosure-policy/) and [abuse policy](https://transferoffshore.com/abuse/). ## How does a foreign court order reach a company in Panama? A foreign judgment must go through recognition (exequatur) in Panama before it can be enforced there. The sources below describe the process as follows: - Article 100, point 2, of the Judicial Code gives the Fourth Chamber of General Business (Sala Cuarta de Negocios Generales) of the Supreme Court of Justice the power to examine judgments from foreign countries. It decides whether they can be enforced in Panama. - Article 1419 of the Judicial Code says foreign judgments have in Panama the force set by the applicable treaties. - Article 156 of the Private International Law Code (Law 61 of 7 October 2015) lists the conditions a foreign judgment must meet before it can be enforced. - In a decision of 4 May 2022 (case 9395-2022), the Chamber sent the request to the Attorney General for an opinion under article 1420 of the Judicial Code. Sources: the Supreme Court decision of 4 May 2022, as published by vLex Panama, read on 19 October 2026, which quotes these articles. We did not find the consolidated Judicial Code online in an official source, so check the current text before relying on it. For a domain owner, this means a court abroad cannot send its order straight to us. The order is first examined in Panama. This does not stop the abuse cases listed above. This is not legal advice. ## Which data protection law applies in Panama? Panama's main data protection law is Law 81 of 26 March 2019 on personal data protection, published in Gaceta Oficial 28743-A on 29 March 2019. It is regulated by Executive Decree 285 of 28 May 2021, published in Gaceta Oficial 29296-A. Both texts are in the sources below. According to a 2026 paper by Panama's Judicial Branch (Órgano Judicial): - the law applies to controllers domiciled in Panama, and to processing tied to activities aimed at the Panamanian market; - it protects data of identified or identifiable natural persons, not companies; - people have rights of access, rectification, cancellation, objection and portability; - if these rights are not respected, a person can go to ANTAI, the national transparency authority, or file a habeas data action before the courts. Sources: the text of Law 81 (National Assembly copy) and of Decree 285 (Gaceta Oficial), and the Órgano Judicial paper, all read on 19 October 2026. This is not legal advice. ## What does Panama not change? A service run from Panama still works inside the global domain system. Four things stay the same: 1. **The ICANN contract.** Every ICANN-accredited registrar, our partner included, must verify the registrant email within 15 days and act promptly on well-documented DNS abuse (2024 amendments). 2. **Our registrar partner's own duties.** It is shown in the RDAP record and keeps its own legal duties and abuse contact. Our Panamanian rules bind DomaineGoat LLC, not the partner. 3. **The UDRP.** Trademark disputes on gTLDs go to a UDRP panel. The domain is locked within 2 business days of the provider's request and the panel decision is applied. 4. **The registry's own rules.** Registries such as .org (PIR) or .io (Identity Digital) keep the registrant record under their own law; the thin .com and .net registries hold no contact data. With [Domain protection](https://transferoffshore.com/domain-protection/), the registry holds DomaineGoat LLC's details, not yours. ICANN can also end a registrar's accreditation. It did so for Trustname, in a notice dated 27 August 2026, over abuse handling. A registrar's country does not protect it from its contract. ## Who should move domains to Panama, and who should not? Move if you want written due process: content disputes need a Panamanian court decision, and the data we hold goes out only when Panamanian law requires it, or in a UDRP case. With [Domain protection](https://transferoffshore.com/domain-protection/), a person also reads every complaint before any action on the domain. The abuse exceptions, the UDRP, the registry's own law and our registrar partner's duties still apply. This suits publishers, small businesses, activists and portfolio owners who fear takedowns on weak claims. Do not move to avoid phishing, malware or fraud reports: those domains are suspended. A service in Panama is not a promise that a domain can never be suspended. Do not move if you need Monero or card payments, which we do not accept. Check the registry rules first for country extensions; some sell only with [Domain protection](https://transferoffshore.com/domain-protection/). ## How do you move a domain to TransferOffshore? You move it with its auth code, like any transfer. Unlock the domain at your current registrar, copy the code, and enter both in the [transfer form](https://transferoffshore.com/app/domains/transfer?lang=en). Up to 20 domains fit in one request. Your current nameservers are kept by default, so the website and email keep working. The old registrar has up to 5 days to answer. A .com transfer costs $12.49 and adds one year; every price is on the [price list](https://transferoffshore.com/pricing/). See [transfer a domain offshore](https://transferoffshore.com/transfer-domain-offshore/) for the full steps. ## Domains managed from Panama: FAQ ### Can a US or EU court order take down my domain in Panama? Not directly at TransferOffshore. DomaineGoat LLC acts on Panamanian court orders, and a foreign judgment must first be recognised in Panama by the Supreme Court's Fourth Chamber. The registry of your extension and our registrar partner can still act under their own law and duties, and UDRP decisions still apply. This is not legal advice. ### Will you hand my data to the police of another country? Not on a direct request. We release the data we hold only when Panamanian law requires it (a Panamanian court or prosecutor's order), or in a UDRP case. We notify you before any disclosure, unless the law or the order forbids it. The full rules are in our [disclosure policy](https://transferoffshore.com/disclosure-policy/). ### Does moving to Panama make my site legal everywhere? No. The country of the company that manages your domain does not change the law that applies to your content or to you. It changes who decides on complaints and disclosure at DomaineGoat LLC. Phishing, malware, botnets, child abuse material and fraud lead to suspension whatever the country. ### Does the registry still have my data? It depends on the registry. We collect only your email, so the registrant record is built from it. The thin .com and .net registries hold no contact data; others, such as .org or .io, keep the record under their own law. With [Domain protection](https://transferoffshore.com/domain-protection/), at $29 a year per domain, the registry and WHOIS show DomaineGoat LLC, never you. You stay the beneficial owner and can take the domain back into your name. ### Do UDRP trademark disputes still apply? Yes. ICANN requires every accredited registrar, our partner included, to follow the UDRP on gTLDs such as .com. A complaint leads to a lock within 2 business days, and the panel decision is applied. Country extensions have their own dispute rules, set by their registry. ### Do I need to live in Panama or have a company there? No. You can move domains to TransferOffshore from anywhere, with one verified email and no ID. Some country extensions have their own eligibility rules, set by their registry. Check the [transfer rules by extension](https://transferoffshore.com/data/domain-transfer-rules-by-extension/) before you move them, because some can only be sold with Domain protection. ## Sources 1.
