My domain name registration does not expire for a long time. Why should I transfer?

Portal Home > Knowledgebase > Domains > 3. Domain Transfers > My domain name registration does not expire for a long time. Why should I transfer?

As long as you transfer your domain name during the time period from 45 days AFTER renewing your domain name registration and BEFORE the next renewal payment is due, you can transfer up to one full year of time to another registrar. If you have registered your domain name for more than one year, any period of time beyond one year is not transferred to the new registrar. For instance, if you have 8 months before your domain name registration with the current registrar expires, and then you transfer the domain to Internet Names WorldWide (INWW) and renew the domain registration for one year, you would then have 1 year and 8 months until your next renewal. The time period that domains are registered for--up to a maximum of 1 year--DOES transfer with the domain name from one registrar to another.
