Transfer domain names: start a domain transfer in minutes
A domain transfer moves a name from one registrar to another without changing who owns it. The steps barely vary: turn off the registrar lock, request the authorization code (the EPP or auth code), start the transfer at the new registrar, and approve it. Transfers typically take a few days, and ICANN rules block a transfer within 60 days of registration or a previous transfer.
Transfer your names into NameBest and they land in the same account you use to register, buy, sell, and bid. Your remaining registration time comes with you, and the transfer adds a year to the term at the standard renewal rate. Once it is in, the name carries an AI appraisal, sits in your portfolio, and can be listed or sent to auction whenever you decide.

Why it works
What you get with NameBest
Four steps, no drama
Turn off the lock, get the auth code, start the transfer, approve it. NameBest walks you through each step and says what your old registrar still needs to do.
Your time comes with you
You do not lose the registration time you already paid for. The transfer adds a year to the existing term at the standard renewal rate.
Everything in one account
Transferred names sit alongside the ones you register, buy, and win, with the same DNS, the same billing, and the same portfolio view.
What it handles
One search, three ways to get the name
Type a name once. NameBest tells you whether it is available to register, listed for sale by its owner, or live in an auction, and you act on any of the three from the same result. Every name carries an AI appraisal estimate so you have a reference point before you commit.
- Transfer domains in from any accredited registrar
- Keep your remaining registration time and add a year to the term
- Bulk transfer a portfolio instead of moving names one by one
- Get an AI appraisal on every name the moment it arrives
- List a transferred name for sale or send it to auction right away
Why NameBest
The whole domain hunt in one account
Most people register at one company, buy from a second, hunt auctions at a third, and appraise at a fourth. NameBest puts registration, the marketplace, and auctions behind a single search and a single account.
Register it new
If the name is unregistered, take it at standard registration pricing across the extensions worth having. No bouncing to a separate registrar and no upsell maze at checkout.
Buy it from the owner
If someone already holds the name, see it listed with a price or an offer button, and buy it through escrow so the money and the transfer are protected on both sides.
Bid when it drops
Expired and dropped names go to auction, and the appraisal estimate sits next to the lot. You get a reference point before you bid instead of guessing against the room.
