Can I transfer my domain from Namecheap to GoDaddy?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 6:45 pm

If you’re looking to move your domain from Namecheap to GoDaddy, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, it’s important to check the domain’s renewal policy. GoDaddy generally charges a one-time domain renewal fee of $14.99, which is more than Namecheap’s standard $10.99 per year fee. However, if you move your domain before it expires, GoDaddy may be able to waive the renewal fee.

PRO TIP: Namecheap and GoDaddy are two different domain registrars, so you can not transfer a domain directly from one to the other. You would need to first unlock the domain at Namecheap, then get an authorization code from them, and then register the domain at GoDaddy with that code.

Second, it’s important to be aware of GoDaddy’s domain transfer restrictions. According to GoDaddy, domains cannot be transferred between GoDaddy accounts within 60 days of each other, and domains cannot be transferred to a new name that is the same as or confusingly similar to an existing domain. Finally, it’s important to note that GoDaddy does not offer transfer-in support for domains that have been transferred from Namecheap. If you’re looking to move your domain to GoDaddy and are having trouble transferring it, be sure to speak with a customer support representative for assistance.
