If I transfer my domain to you, will my website and email be affected?

Updated: 2025/05/20Viewed times: 18920

Whether your website and email are affected by the domain transfer depends on where your website and email are hosted:

Third-Party Hosting: If you use a third-party provider to host your website and email, they should not be affected by the domain name transfer. We do not change your domain's nameservers during the transfer process.
Registrar Hosting: If your website and email are hosted by your current registrar, they may be affected. Some registrars only provide hosting services if you register your domain with them.

To ensure a smooth transfer with minimal downtime, please consider these options:

Pre-configure your domain's nameserver/DNS settings before initiating the transfer to Dynadot. (Note: The change will apply to all the domains in the same transfer order.)
Set your default nameserver/DNS. (Note: Your newly registered domains will be set to the default nameservers too. And please make sure that the option "Apply to transferred domains" is checked.)
Move to a Third-Party Host.
