The transfer is free of charge because this operation doesn't include a domain name renewal. You will benefit from all our services until the expiration of the domain name, when you will have to renew it. |
Transfer procedure
Requirements:
To initiate the transfer of a .GR domain name you will be asked to provide an authorization code (AuthID). You can obtain it from your current domain name's registrar.
In order to proceed with the transfer, the current registrar must accept the transfer. So you must notify the current registrar of your wish to change the registrar to "NETIM". Some registrars, like NETIM, have implemented a protection against transfers to approve or reject automatically the requests. In this case, you must ensure that this protection is disabled.
Different stages:
Once your order has been confirmed, we will send a request for the transfer of your domain name to the .GR registry with the autorization code:
- In the event of acceptance, the transfer is initiated.
- In the event of refusal, the transfer is cancelled.
Then the registry will ask for the current registrar to accept the request:
- In the event of acceptance, the transfer is immediatly carried out.
- In the event of refusal, the transfer is cancelled.
You can transfer your domain whenever you want, no need to wait for the expiration in order to complete the domain transfer.
Important information
- Deadline for transfer: the day before expiration of the domain name
- Best date for transfer: not less than 1 week before expiration of the domain name
- After the transfer: the domain name's expiration date will not be changed.
