Details

What is included in the domain transfer

We handle the registrar transfer of an already registered domain to IKUNIX and coordinate the technical switch to the required server infrastructure. In most cases an auth code or EPP code from the previous registrar is required. Existing DNS records can be documented before the transfer and configured again in the IKUNIX domain management or the selected DNS system. Important: a domain transfer initially transfers domain management only. Website files, databases and email mailboxes are not migrated automatically and must be moved separately if required. Depending on the domain extension and registry, transfer, renewal or annual domain charges may apply in addition to the one-time IKUNIX transfer service.

A domain transfer moves the management of an existing domain from one registrar to another while the domain name itself remains unchanged. Depending on the domain extension, an auth code or EPP code from the previous provider is usually required.

The technical switch is prepared so DNS and nameserver settings can be transferred in a controlled manner. Website files, databases and email mailboxes are not automatically included in the registrar transfer and can be migrated separately if required.

Process

How the domain transfer works

  1. 1

    Check domain and current provider

    We verify the extension, registrar, owner data and current DNS setup.

  2. 2

    Obtain auth code

    The domain owner requests the auth/EPP code from the previous provider.

  3. 3

    Start transfer to IKUNIX

    The registrar migration is initiated with the correct owner data and required nameservers.

  4. 4

    Verify DNS and server assignment

    After completion, website, mail and DNS targets are checked. Additional data migrations are carried out only if ordered separately.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Domain Transfers

Do I need an auth code for a domain transfer?
For many domain extensions, yes. The auth code or EPP code is provided by the current registrar. Some TLDs use different procedures.
Is my website migrated automatically with the domain?
No. A domain transfer initially concerns domain management only. Website files, databases and email mailboxes are migrated separately if ordered.
Can a domain be transferred from another provider to IKUNIX?
Yes, provided the domain is eligible for transfer and the required transfer credentials or approvals for the respective TLD are available.
Are annual domain fees included in the €34.90 service price?
No. €34.90 gross is the one-time IKUNIX service for the domain transfer and technical switch. Registrar, registry, transfer, renewal and annual domain fees are charged separately depending on the TLD.
