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:
In order to proceed with a transfer, the domain name's owner must request the transfer from his current registrar.
Different stages
You have two possibilities in order to move you domain towards NETIM:
- First, you have to contact the current registrar of your domain name and ask them to move
the domain across to NETIM.
This move is totally free for you, the current registrar, and NETIM as the new registrar
Ensure that you provide them our TAG: NETIM-FR
- Second, if your current registrar refuses to do this, or if you are unable to contact them
because they have ceased trading, you should contact the registry and ask them to move the
domain name for you.
Caution: in this case, the registry will charge you GBP 10 for this service
