Transfer a domain

CertPing dashboard

Domains, DNS and protection in one dashboard.

Manage renewals, DNS records, WHOIS privacy and transfer lock next to look-alike alerts, email security results and trademark status. Anything that needs action appears first.

Domains for every kind of business.

Drinks brands, watchmakers, software companies and coffee roasters all sell under a name customers look up. Register yours, then watch for the domains and emails that copy it.

Domain security beyond the registrar lock.

A transfer lock protects the domain itself. CertPing also watches what happens around it: domains that imitate yours, email sent in your name, and trademarks that conflict with it.

  • CertPing checks newly registered domains every day for names that imitate yours, including swapped letters, added words like login or pay, and the same name on another ending. Each alert shows the domain, why it was flagged and its risk level.

Transfer your domain to CertPing.

  1. 1

    Unlock the domain

    At your current registrar, turn off the transfer lock and request the authorization (EPP) code.

  2. 2

    Start the transfer

    Enter the domain and the code in CertPing. We copy your DNS records before the move, so your website and email stay online.

  3. 3

    Transfer completes

    Most transfers complete in five to seven days once the current registrar approves. The transfer adds one year to the registration.

Included with every domain.

  • WHOIS privacy

    Your name, email address and phone number are redacted from public WHOIS and RDAP records.

  • Transfer lock

    The registrar lock is on by default, so the domain cannot be transferred out without your approval.

  • DNS hosting

    Managed DNS with DNSSEC. Edit A, CNAME, MX and TXT records on the same page as the domain.

  • Email forwarding

    Forward addresses like hello@ and billing@ on your domain to the inbox you already use.

  • Renewal reminders

    Auto-renew with email reminders 30, 7 and 1 day before each renewal date.

  • TLS certificates

    Issue a TLS certificate for any domain you own. Your first certificate is free.

How do I register a domain name?

Search for the name you want, choose an available ending such as .com, .io or .ai, and register it. CertPing shows the first-year price and the renewal price before checkout, and WHOIS privacy, DNS and transfer lock are included.

How do I transfer a domain to CertPing?

What is a look-alike domain?

A look-alike domain imitates yours with a swapped letter, an added word like login or pay, or a different ending. Attackers use them for phishing pages and fake invoices. CertPing checks new registrations and alerts you when one matches your domain. The first scan is free.

What are SPF, DKIM and DMARC?

SPF lists the servers allowed to send email for your domain, DKIM signs your messages, and DMARC tells receiving servers what to do with mail that fails those checks. CertPing checks all three and gives you the DNS record to add when one is missing or too weak.

Can CertPing help me register a trademark?

Yes. CertPing scans USPTO and EUIPO for marks similar to yours and watches for new filings. To register a mark, start an application with the mark, the owner and your goods or services, and a trademark attorney is assigned to file it. Scan results are not legal advice.

What does it cost to renew a domain?

Every search shows the CertPing renewal price next to the first-year price. Auto-renew charges the renewal price at that time, and you get reminders before each renewal date.

Your name means something. Keep it yours.
