How to transfer a .com.ua domain to another registrar
Transferring a domain between registrars is a standard procedure that doesn’t touch the site itself: DNS and hosting stay the same — only who administers the registration changes.
- 01Prepare the domainCheck that the domain owner’s email is current, and start the transfer at least a few weeks before expiry — leaving it to the last moment risks not finishing in time.
- 02Unlock it and get the codeIn the current registrar’s account, lift the transfer lock and request the transfer code (auth code).
- 03Submit a request to the new registrarProvide the domain, the transfer code, and the payer profile the domain will renew under going forward.
- 04Confirm the transferConfirmation arrives by email or shows up in the current registrar’s account — this protects against someone else hijacking the domain.
- 05Check the resultAfter it’s done, check the DNS records, mail, and site — they should be unchanged unless you deliberately changed them.
Common mistakes
- Turning off auto-renewal at the old registrar right after submitting the request — if the transfer drags on, the domain can expire.
- Starting the transfer a few days before the registration expires — it may not finish in time.
- Sending the transfer code by email or in support chat — legitimate registrars only accept codes in the account or via the API.
FAQ
Can a domain be transferred along with all its DNS records?
Yes, transferring the registration doesn’t touch DNS records unless you’re also moving the DNS hosting itself — that’s a separate, independent action.
How much does a transfer cost?
A transfer is usually counted as a one-year renewal at the new registrar’s rate — the exact price depends on the zone.
