Does Domain Transfer also transfer expiration date?
I was planning to move my domains from GoDaddy to Gandi but on Gandi's transfer checkout it asked me to pay domain for 1 year but the domain that I want to transfer out from GoDaddy is expiring in 2.5 years. Do I loose those 2.5 years if I transfer domain now or is it going to give me 1 year extra?
Solution 1:
Yes, the existing registration period is retained. Your domain will be valid for 3.5 years when you transfer.
