What our free domain transfer includes

We waive the transfer fee for eligible extensions. Your next renewal remains due on your existing expiry date.

What the free transfer covers

We move your eligible domain from your current registrar into your Truehost account without charging a transfer fee. You keep the same domain name.

The transfer changes where you manage your domain. It does not add time to its registration.

Your renewal and other services

Our renewal price is shown beside each eligible extension. Renew your domain before its existing expiry date to keep it registered.

Hosting subscriptions, paid email plans and any expired-domain restoration fees are separate charges.

Before you transfer your domain

Check eligibility, renewal costs and the services connected to your domain.

An active domain

Prepare your active domain

Find your extension in our free-transfer list and request the required transfer code from your current registrar. Keep your hosting and email services active during the move.

An upcoming renewal

Check your next renewal

Compare our annual renewal price with your current registrar’s quote. A free transfer does not postpone your renewal, so allow time to complete the move before your domain expires.

A missing extension

Check the full catalogue

If your extension is not listed, check our full transfer pricing table. Our free-transfer offer applies only to extensions with a current zero transfer price.

Keep your website and email connected

A domain transfer does not move your website files or mailboxes. You can keep them with your current host. Save your nameservers and DNS records, and confirm that your DNS provider will continue serving them after the transfer.

If your old registrar will stop providing DNS, set up replacement DNS and copy your website and email records before changing nameservers.

Before you submit

Unlock your domain where required, obtain its transfer code and check that you can access the contact email. Any registry restrictions still apply to free transfers.

Free domain transfer FAQs

How do I know whether my domain qualifies?

Match your domain’s complete extension to an entry in the current free-transfer list. For example, .com.ng and .ng are separate extensions; one entry does not cover the other automatically.

  1. Search the list for the suffix after your domain name.
  2. Read the transfer and renewal amounts together.
  3. Start the order with the full domain and check the checkout summary.

A missing or unavailable price is not a free offer. If no extensions qualify, the free list is hidden; use our complete transfer catalogue.

Does a free transfer extend my registration period?

No. Our free domain transfer does not extend your registration period. Your existing expiry date stays the same, and your next renewal is charged separately at our renewal rate.

Before transferring:

  • Record the expiry date in your current registrar’s account.
  • Check our renewal price for your extension.
  • After the transfer, confirm the same expiry date in your Truehost account.
Why would checkout show a charge if the transfer is free?

Read the individual order lines before completing checkout. A renewal, restoration or additional service can carry its own charge. Also confirm that the domain extension and selected currency match the catalogue you checked.

If the registrar-transfer line itself has a fee despite a matching zero-priced listing, pause the order and ask our live chat team to check it. Share the domain and the order summary so the difference can be investigated.

Can I use this offer for several business domains?

Check each name individually. You can transfer several domains, but each must have an extension listed in our free-transfer catalogue and meet its registrar’s transfer requirements.

  • Make a list of each domain and its next renewal date.
  • Match each extension against the current free list.
  • Collect each required authorisation separately and keep it private.

For help coordinating several moves, contact our support team before submitting the orders.

Will choosing a free transfer bypass a domain lock?

No. A free transfer does not remove a registrar lock. You still need authority to move the name, a valid code where required and a domain that its registrar can release.

For ICANN-governed generic domains, recent registration, a previous transfer or a registrant change can impose a policy lock. Country-code extensions have their own rules. Ask the current registrar to identify the restriction and release date instead of repeatedly submitting a blocked order.

What if my domain is already expired?

An expired domain must still be eligible for release by its current registrar. The free transfer fee does not cover renewal or restoration charges.

If the name is in redemption, restoration through the current registrar is required before a transfer can proceed. That restoration can have a separate charge. Send our team the domain name and current status so we can help you establish the next step.

Is free transfer the same as getting a free domain?

No. This page is for a name you already own. You are moving its registration between providers. A free domain registration offer supplies a new name, usually under a different product’s conditions.

Looking for a new address instead? Search our domain names. Already own one whose transfer is paid? Compare it on our main transfer page.

Transfer your eligible domain for free

Check our free-transfer list and start the move. Your expiry date stays the same, with renewal charged separately.

FAQs

How long does the domain transfer take?

The transfer time depends on your domain extension:

  • .ng domains – 5 to 7 days
  • International domains (.com, .net, .org) – up to 5 days
  • Your website files – typically transferred within 1 hour

We’ll keep you updated via email at every stage of the process.

Will my website go offline during the transfer?

No. We ensure zero downtime during the transfer. Your domain stays active, your website stays live, and your visitors won’t notice a thing. We handle everything behind the scenes.

What do I need to start the transfer?

You need two things:

  1. Your domain’s EPP/Auth code – a secure transfer key from your current registrar
  2. Your domain name – unlocked and ready to transfer

If you don’t know who your registrar is, use any WHOIS lookup tool to find out.

Why is my domain locked, and how do I unlock it?

Domain locks are a security feature to prevent unauthorized transfers. Most registrars automatically lock domains.

To unlock:

  • If you’re unsure, contact your registrar’s support – they’ll guide you
  • Log in to your current registrar’s dashboard
  • Look for “Domain Lock” or “Transfer Lock” and disable it

I tried unlocking but it won’t work. Why?

ICANN rules state that certain domains cannot be unlocked if they have been registered or transferred in the past 60 days. Check your domain’s registration date. If it’s under 60 days old, you’ll need to wait before transferring.

Can I transfer a domain that’s expiring soon?

Yes, but we recommend starting the transfer at least 2 weeks before expiry to avoid any complications. If your domain expires during transfer, you may lose it. Start early to be safe.

Can I change my domain details during transfer?

No. For security reasons, while your domain is being transferred, you cannot modify:

  • WHOIS / RDRP registration details
  • Nameservers
  • Domain renewal settings

You’ll be able to make changes once the transfer is complete.

What happens after 1 year?

After your free 1-year extension, you can renew your domain at Truehost’s competitive rates, with no surprise charges. We’ll send you a reminder before your renewal is due.

Can I transfer multiple domains?

Absolutely! Truehost supports bulk transfers for agencies, resellers, and businesses with multiple domains. Each domain gets the same free transfer + 1-year extension offer.

Do you support domain transfers for all extensions?

Truehost supports 700+ domain extensions including .com, .ng, .com.ng, .org, .net, and many more. For a complete list, visit the Truehost Domain Pricing page.

What if I need help during the transfer?

Truehost’s local Nigerian support team is available 24/7 to assist you. Real humans who speak your language. You can reach out anytime via live chat or support ticket.
