DOMAIN TRANSFERS · GICT AFRICA
Bring your domain closer to your business.
Move toward one clearer place to manage your domain. Start with a name, review the preparation steps, and let GICT help plan the transfer.
A SIMPLE WAY FORWARD
How to transfer your domain.
Each transfer depends on the extension, current registrar and registry. These are the steps we use to make the path clear.
Check the essentials
Confirm your registration contact, any transfer lock, the renewal date and the nameservers currently in use.
Get a transfer plan
Send an inquiry from your GICT account. We review the extension, provider route and current transfer price.
Approve the move
When a live route is available, GICT confirms the next steps and requests the authorization code through a secure process.
WHY BRING IT TO GICT?
More clarity around the domain your business depends on.
Registration, DNS, hosting and email often involve different providers. GICT can help you map those connections before a transfer and plan who will manage each part afterward.

GOOD TO KNOW
Domain transfer questions.
Find the practical answers, then ask GICT about the rules for your specific extension and registrar.
Will transferring my domain interrupt my website or email?
A registrar transfer and a hosting migration are different tasks. We review the current nameservers and DNS records before changing anything. Keeping the existing DNS configuration can help avoid interruption, but a continuity plan should be confirmed for each domain.
Do I need an authorization code?
Many generic top-level domains use an authorization code from the current registrar. Some country-code extensions use a different process. Keep the code private until GICT confirms a secure transfer route; do not paste it into this inquiry.
Why might my domain be ineligible right now?
A domain may be locked, recently registered or transferred, subject to a recent registrant change, expired, or affected by a registry-specific rule. GICT checks the relevant conditions with the provider before giving a transfer plan.
Does a transfer renew my domain?
Renewal treatment depends on the extension and registry. Some transfers include an additional registration year; others do not. The quote and provider terms should show what happens for your domain.
Can I transfer several domains together?
Yes. This page accepts up to 50 names in one inquiry. Each extension and registrar route may have different requirements, so GICT reviews the list before confirming a quote or start date.
