What happens if I cancel a service plan during the domain transfer process?

Qwestion247 asked:


I have initiated the transfer process and paid for my new domain service elsewhere, including entering the domain register authorization code from my old provider to the new one. What would happen if I canceled my service contract with my old (current) domain registrar right now? I ask because it’s due to renew, and I want to cancel it BEFORE it does, since they won’t refund my money. If I cancel it today (for example), what will happen to the domain transfer process? Will I lose the money I’ve paid the company I’m transferring to?

    You can cancel with your old service and not worry about it. It is your domain, after all. No matter who you go with, you are purchasing it from (formerly internic). That is where I recommend that you go, that website. Make sure that YOU own the domain name that you think that you do before you cancel anything.

    In the future do your business direct. Why involve a middle-man?

    Nothing. You can cancel if you want, since you will not be getting money back anyhow. No, you won’t lose the money you’ve paid the company you’re transferring too.

    Make sure you’ve paid your new registrar the annual registration fee for the coming year and that the transfer is in process and THEN cancel your domain renewal/account at your old registrar.

    Nobody “owns” a domain name - you “lease” it from the registry - so if your lease expires you’ll lose the domain.

    Be on the safe side and contact your new registrar’s support and confirm that all is in order for the transfer.
