What a domain transfer is

A transfer moves the registration of your domain to Rivervo — it changes who you pay for the domain. Your site and email don't have to move: the domain keeps pointing where it points now.

You don't need to transfer a domain to use it with Rivervo hosting or email; pointing it at us is enough. People transfer to keep domains, hosting and email in one panel with one bill and to manage DNS next to their sites.

The transfer costs the price of one year of registration for that extension, shown before you pay, and a year is added to the registration. If your domain had 4 months left, after the transfer it has about 1 year and 4 months.

Why transfer to Rivervo

Your domains next to your sites.

One panel and one bill for domains, hosting and email.

No year lost

The year you pay for is added to the remaining term.

DNS in the panel

Edit DNS records in the same panel as your hosting and email.

WHOIS privacy

Free WHOIS privacy for domains where the registry allows it.

Auto-renewal

Turn auto-renewal on or off for each domain; renewal prices are shown up front.

Works during the move

Site and email keep working while the transfer runs, as long as DNS stays as it is.

How it works

Transfer a domain in four steps.

The domain shows «Transfer in progress» in the panel, and we email you when it's done.

  1. 1

    Prepare at your registrar

    Turn off the transfer lock, request the transfer (EPP) code and check the owner email.

  2. 2

    Start at Rivervo

    Enter the domain and the code. The panel checks the domain and shows the price.

  3. 3

    Pay and approve

    Pay by card or from the balance. Approve the transfer if your registrar emails you.

  4. 4

    Wait 5–7 days

    The domain keeps working. When the transfer completes, it appears in your panel.

Before you start

Registries refuse a transfer unless these are true.

  • The domain was registered or last transferred at least 60 days ago
  • It is not about to expire — don't start in the last few days before the expiry date
  • The transfer lock is off at your current registrar
  • You have the transfer (EPP) code
  • You can read the owner email at your current registrar

Keep DNS working

A transfer moves the registration, not the DNS. If your domain uses another company's nameservers, DNS keeps working through the transfer.

If it uses your old registrar's own DNS, that DNS may stop when the domain leaves them. Write down your records first, or move DNS to Rivervo nameservers before the transfer.

Domain transfer questions

Transfers usually take 5–7 days. Approving the email from your current registrar can speed it up.
The price of one year of registration for that extension, shown before you pay. A year is added to the registration.
No, as long as you don't change DNS or nameservers during the transfer. If the domain uses the old registrar's own DNS, copy the records or move DNS first.
Usually the domain is locked, the transfer code is wrong or expired, or the domain was registered or transferred less than 60 days ago. Fix the cause and write to us to retry.
No. A domain registered elsewhere works with Rivervo hosting and email — you only point it at us.
Not from the panel. Write to support right away; whether it can still be stopped depends on how far the transfer has gone.
