Our website has been hosted and managed for 3 years with Pladinum. We decided to upgrade to a webshop with marketing, and for the past year, it has been working very well. Amazing support, very friendly, and quick to respond.

The duration of a transfer is dependent on the extension of your domain name. For the most commonly used extensions, the transfer process can be completed promptly, typically within a few hours to a few (5) days.

Regardless, we ensure seamless operations throughout the transfer process. If you wish to guarantee a smooth transfer, please inform us in advance so we can facilitate the process more efficiently.

You may obtain the authorisation code (also referred to as the transfer code) from your current domain name provider. There is a significant likelihood that you can request this code via its control panel. If this option is unavailable, please contact the provider in order to obtain your code.

Have you acquired the code? If so, we advise you to promptly proceed with transferring your domain name, as the code is only valid for a limited number of days.

Throughout the transfer process, we aim to maintain seamless operations. We temporarily manage the DNS settings available to us. Any necessary adjustments to these settings can be efficiently made through our control panel.

In rare cases, some of your DNS records may not be located. To prevent any disruptions, we recommend reaching out to us in advance to guarantee a smooth transfer. Contact us

While a registry lock is in place on your domain, a transfer is not possible. This feature enhances security measures to prevent unauthorized domain ownership changes. To proceed with the domain transfer, you can typically deactivate the registry lock through your domain provider's control panel.

In most instances, your email accounts and mailboxes may become inactive. It will be necessary to create the email accounts and mailboxes through Pladinum control panel. Once this task is completed, your email communication will resume smoothly. <strong>Microsoft Exchange</strong> Do you have a Microsoft 365 mailbox? If so, ensure that all DNS configurations are accurately set up with Pladinum to restore seamless functionality. <a title="contact our support team" href="https://www.pladinum.com/support/">Contact our support team</a> for assistance with this setup.

No, you can transfer your domain name to another provider at any time. If you wait until your domain name expires to transfer it, you may face temporary unavailability or additional charges from your current provider.

The cost of transferring your domain name varies depending on its extension. To determine the transfer expenses, please use our domain finder tool. You will receive an immediate quote for the transfer fee and any potential additional charges. <a title="all domain extensions and prices" href="https://www.pladinum.com/domain-names/prices/">Explore our complete list of domain extensions and corresponding prices here.</a>

To acquire ownership of a domain name from its current holder, a formal agreement must be established. The current owner may require a transfer fee for the rights to the domain. It is important to note that this fee is separate from the registration fee paid to a domain provider like Pladinum. Upon mutual agreement, it is necessary to obtain an authorization code (also known as a 'transfer code') from the current owner. This code will enable you to transfer the domain name to a domain provider, including Pladinum. Once this process is completed, ownership of the domain will be transferred to you.
