Frequently Asked

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick, honest answers to the questions we hear most often. Still need help? Get in touch.

How long does a domain transfer take?

.com and other gTLDs typically take 5-7 days. .co.za transfers complete within 24 hours after authorisation. We notify you at every step.

Will my domain or website go down during the transfer?

No, provided your DNS records remain unchanged. Transfers move the registration only, not the hosting. Your site stays online throughout.

Do I get a free year added when I transfer?

Yes. Most TLDs include a free 1-year extension when you transfer to Trinico Cloud, on top of the time remaining on your existing registration.

What do I need to start a transfer?

You need an EPP (auth) code from your current registrar and the domain must be unlocked and at least 60 days old. We handle the rest.

What is an EPP or auth code and where do I get it?

It is a short security code, like a password, that authorises a domain to move. You request it from your current host, usually in their control panel or from their support team. Some local .za domains use a simple unlock instead.

Are domain transfers free?

Transfers carry a small fee equivalent to one year's registration, which extends your domain by a year on most TLDs. .co.za transfers are typically free.
