Your site keeps working
A registrar transfer does not need to replace your nameservers. Puffin preserves the current DNS delegation by default.
Move in. Keep what works.
Transfer your domain without the DNS chaos.
Puffin checks eligibility and price before checkout. Existing nameservers stay in place while the registrar transfer runs.
- Eligibility check before payment
- Existing DNS stays in place
- Clear status in your account
Three steps
No support ticket required.
Unlock the domain
Remove the transfer lock with your current registrar and request the AUTH/EPP code. Puffin requires the code for every public transfer at launch.
Let Puffin check it
Enter the domain and code. We check whether the extension and registrar will accept the transfer before checkout.
Follow the transfer
Puffin submits the transfer and keeps the real registrar status visible until it is complete.
Email stays where it is
MX and verification records remain untouched while the current DNS is preserved. You can move email later if you choose.
The price is shown first
Some extensions renew during transfer; others do not. Puffin shows the actual transfer price before payment.
Domain transfer, in plain English
Will my website go offline?
Not when the existing nameservers remain in place. The registrar changes, while the public DNS continues to answer as before.
Do I need an AUTH or EPP code?
Yes. At launch, Puffin requires the transfer code from your current registrar before checkout.
How long does a transfer take?
It depends on the extension and the current registrar. Some complete quickly; others can remain pending for several days.
Does a transfer include renewal?
It depends on the extension. The preflight and checkout show the price and whether extra registration time is included.
