Understand Domain Transfers

Learn how domain transfers work and what to expect.

Domain transfers are the process of moving a domain name from one registrar or owner to another. In Deqo, transfers may occur when purchasing a domain from the marketplace or when managing domains across supported registrars.

This article explains how domain transfers work and what to expect.

When domain transfers happen

A domain transfer may take place in the following situations:

  • After purchasing a domain from the Deqo marketplace

  • When moving a domain to Deqo as a registrar

  • When transferring a purchased domain to one of Deqo’s supported registrars

Transfers are handled securely and follow standard registrar and registry rules.

How transfers are handled in Deqo

  • Domain ownership transfers for marketplace purchases are managed by our escrow team.

  • The escrow team coordinates with the seller and registrar to ensure a secure handover.

  • Depending on your preference, the domain may be:

    >Transferred into your Deqo account, or

    >Transferred to another supported registrar

You will receive email updates during the transfer process.

Transfer timelines

  • Domain transfers are not instant.

  • The timeline depends on:

    >The current registrar

    >Registry rules for the domain extension (TLD)

    >Required confirmations or security locks

  • Some transfers may complete within days, while others may take longer.

What may be required from you

During a transfer, you may be asked to:

  • Confirm transfer authorization by email

  • Provide or verify contact information

  • Follow instructions sent by Deqo or the registrar

Promptly completing these steps helps avoid delays.

After a transfer is completed

Once the transfer is finalized:

  • You have full ownership and control of the domain

  • The domain is available in your Deqo account or at your chosen registrar

  • You can manage renewals, nameservers, and contact details as needed

If you have questions about a domain transfer or need assistance at any stage of the process, please contact Deqo Support.
