How do I transfer domains?
NameBright makes it easy to manage transfers, both inbound and outbound, individually or in bulk.
If you already have a NameBright account, you can find our transfer tools at My Account > Transfers. If you’re new to NameBright, you can get started transferring domains here.
Transfer domains without downtime
Transfers to NameBright typically take a few days to process. If you don’t have time to wait, you can transfer your domains immediately using the following approach:
1. Create a category.
2. Turn on all category settings you will need and configure the settings upfront.
3. Register a test domain and add it to your category. If you have an existing domain at NameBright already, you can use that instead.
4. Make sure everything is working correctly on the test domain.
If the test domain is working correctly, you are ready to transfer your domains and most likely will see no downtime when your domains move over. Learn more.
Auth code optional This information might be out of context
To transfer your domain to NameBright, you must:
- Unlock it at your current registrar
- Obtain an "authorization" or "EPP" code from the registrar
While you do not need the auth code to begin your transfer, you will need it to complete the transfer.

You can transfer up to 5,000 domain names at once using this form. If you need to transfer more, please contact support@namebright.com.

When I transfer a domain do I get another year of registration? This information might be out of context
Yes. The transfer price includes renewal of the domain for 1 additional year. This year is added to the current expiration date, not to the date of the transfer, so all existing registration time is retained.
How much do renewals and transfers cost?
For most extensions, registrations, renewals and transfers are all priced the same at NameBright. Details can be found at our pricing page.
Push domain help
A push is similar to a regular domain transfer, except that the domain is moved to another NameBright account.
To push a domain, you'll need to provide the email address and username of the destination NameBright account. The receiving account will have 5 days to accept the push (Transfers > Pushing In > Pending Inbound Push Requests) before it is cancelled.
